As a long time user of Paderno products, when the opportunity arose to test the new Elite Series 3 for FREE through Butterly - I was over joyed to be selected. Right out of the box, you can feel the quality - not super heavy like cast iron, not super light like most lower end pans, but just the right weight. Couple that with the comfortable handle and excellent craftsmanship, you have a solid pan that will last for years. I followed the protocol for stainless pans (ensure oils are heated to medium before cooking) and made an omelette for its maiden voyage. Not only did it cook evenly, there was little to no sticking. This pan washed up like a dream with hot soapy water and a dish cloth. I would also like to note that this pan is not just for frying.... you can transfer it to the oven as well for one pot dishes. Highly recommended and would purchase again should I need to replace it for whatever reason! -
