Vida by PADERNO Elite Series 3-Layer Frying Pan, Dishwasher & Oven Safe, Stainless Steel Reviews
#1 in Cookware

Description


The Vida Elite Series Clad Frypan provides a surround-heat tri-ply construction comprising of a stainless-steel interior which is non-reactive to food, an aluminium core for even heat distribution and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior which is suitable for all cooktops.

• 3- layer clad construction provides even and fast heating
• 18/10 stainless steel interior is non-reactive to food.
• Aluminium core provides even heat distribution and retention.
• Rolled edges for mess-free pouring.
• 28cm (11”)
• Oven safe up to 500 degrees F/ 260 degrees C
• Compatible with electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and induction cooktops

NOTE: Clad cookware preheats at a different rate than other types of cookware which in turn can cause food to stick more. Before adding any oil, we recommend preheating the pan over medium heat. It is also necessary to add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan so that it can act as a barrier between the pan and the food. Adding food to cold oil may also lead to sticking since the temperature of the pan will drop too quickly from the addition of the cold oil and cold food. For this reason, advocates should let the oil heat up until it starts to swirl around the pan loosely.

    Fantastic Frying Pan

    This was a great sturdy quality frying pan.
    Large surface for plenty of cooking space.
    Evenly heated food throughout. Never really needed to move food around as it cooked just fine in place.
    The non stick feature and cleaning was easy with caked on food coming off simply with just water.
    Highly recommend pan and would love to try more products of theirs.

    High Quality

    I had high expectations for the Vida Elite Series Clad Frypan from Paderno and I'm quite impressed with how well it performs with a variety of different foods and cooking methods. Vida Elite has a 3-layer clad construction, which provides even and fast heating. I found it didn't matter what I was cooking, the pan heated up quickly and the aluminim core distributed the heat evenly for perfect cooking. I've been moving away from non-stick cookware because I'm concerned about the health effects, so Vida Elite Clad Frypan puts my mind at ease with its 18/10 stainless steel interior, which is non-reactive to food. So what have I made so far in my new favourite frying pan? I made a full breakfast of bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I made a nice batch of chicken fried rice, which came out awesome. I even cooked a chicken dish in the oven using this pan. Yes, it's oven safe up to 500°F! I also love that it's dishwasher safe. I have used clad cookware before, so I know all the little tricks, like being generous with cooking oil to ensure the bottom of the pan is coated. A hot clad pan is also your friend in creating that perfect dish. People who are wary about making the switch, it's easy! And it would put your mind at ease to not have to rely on non-stick cookware. Overall, I'm highly impressed with the Vida Elite Series Clad Frypan. I would expect no less from Paderno and they have definitely delivered in terms of quality and performance.

    My favorite helper in the kitchen❤️

    Thank you for the opportunity to test this frying pan. She has become a favorite and irreplaceable in my kitchen. It was my first stainless steel frying pan, and I had to get used to it a little, and as soon as I realized it, I can't do without it now. All the dishes resemble the taste from childhood, my grandmother had a lot of such pans. Definitely with pleasure I will replenish my kitchen with more such devices. Thanks to Butterly and Paderno for the opportunity to try and discover this dish.

    Beautiful fry pan

    I received the Vida by PADERNO Elite Series 3-Layer Frying Pan, Dishwasher & Oven Safe, Stainless Steel to product test. My current regular cookware are Paderno so I was expecting the same high quality and durability from this pan - I was not let down. This pan heated evenly, cooked my food beautifully, and washed easily. The light weight but heavy duty bottom meant that I could easily saute but also not worry about burning my food. Well done Paderno I'm very happy with this new addition to the kitchen set!

    Easy to use but not for beginners

    It's fast in heating up the pan, but the drawback is that sometimes food may easily stick since it's made in stainless steel. The difference between this pan and non-stick pan is the food texture and aroma. It really gave me a crispy and crusty effect on the meat! For beginners, it may be a bit difficult to control, but make sure that it's hot enough before adding oil/ food.

    Quick, even heating!

    I LOVE this pan! It has a timeless look to it (love the stainless steel), and is incredibly easy to cook with and clean. As long as you preheat the pan, nothing sticks to it and cleaning it is a breeze!

    Not my first choice

    I followed all the instructions given to prevent food from sticking and it still did. I had to be constantly adding water to keep it off the bottom. I did not like how it also stained after one use. They said it could happen but didn’t think on the first try. Overall it cooked the food ok but the sticking and dirty looking staining are not for me.

    Great Frypan

    I was selected to try the Vida Paderno Stainless Steel Clad Frypan (28cm/ 11 inch) and really enjoyed trying it out. My first observations were the pan is quite sturdy, great surface area of cooking space, nice to have rolled edges and the handle was easy to hold. I have prepared a few things in this pan and I have to say it does cook food pretty evenly which is a great bonus when cooking quite a few eggs at the same time and the rolled edges made it easier to pour from the pan with less mess. I ensured I used oil to cook and I really didn't have issues with sticking. The size of this pan is also great for making family sized meals. Another thing that I love about this pan is you can stick it in the oven up to 500 degrees which is great for making small pizza and breads in the oven. Overall this is a great addition to your kitchen!

    The Perfect Pour & Warm Frypan

    I got to try out the Vida by Paderno Frypan and I had so much fun cooking with it! Thank you to @thisisbutterly
    For this free product to try out.

    I love the sides that are made for being able to pour out instead of scooping your meal out. They make it so much easier.

    The even cooking heat on the sides and bottom of the frypan made it so easy to cook my meals evenly.

    The best part is being able to pop it right into the oven! Totally oven safe.

    You can find this elite series of frypans exclusively at Canadian Tire

    Paderno Pleasure

    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!
