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.

    Great frying pan!

    I was hesitant to use a stainless steel pan as in the past, I found them very hard to clean. This one was great! The food cooked very evenly with good heat distribution and the pan cleaned easily afterwards. I also loved that the handle didn't get hot at all.

    Pan that makes it easy!

    The pan is super easy to clean and makes amazing steaks. Heats evenly and doesn't stick at all. Once in the dishwasher it comes back out looking brand new.

    Food sticks to this pan

    This pan is a convenient size. It warms up quickly and cooks well at a lower temperature than my other pans. However food sticks to the bottom of the pan even after preheating the oil. It is difficult to clean off the stuck on food, and after cleaning there are permanent stains left in the pan, even after just one use.

    I love my new Vida by Paderno Elite series Pan

    I received my Vida by Paderno pan and was so excited to use it. The Pros - super lightweight, cooks food evenly, stainless steal, the Cons - A little harder to clean then a non stick pan, needs more oil then a non stick pan. Overall I loved this frying pan, it was so much lighter then my other frying pans, which made it easier to lift it during plating my food and so much easier to clean it and dry it without added weight. It cooked my fried potatoes perfectly. I am looking forward to getting some good usage out of this pan for quite some time. It feels like amazing quality and like it will be around for a very long time in my kitchen. You do have to make sure that you read up on how to properly use the frying pan or you may have issues with your food sticking. Make sure your pan is preheated (water dances around the pan, not just evaporates) and then add your oil (cover the bottom of the pan) and heat it up before adding your food.

    Stellar performance

    This pan does everything that I needed to do. The handle grip is very comfortable and it did not burn my food with its sleek metal surface.
    I will definitely be purchasing more from this line

    New Fave Pan

    I tried this pan on the weekend to make ground beef for tacos. It heated up quickly and so evenly. Nothing stuck to the pan even though I was cooking on a higher than normal temperature. The pan isn't too heavy so its easy to lift, shake and pour whatever your cooking into the bowl. It also cleaned up so invariably easy

    PADERNO & Vida by PADERNO Kitchenware!

    This has proven to be a pretty great pan. It seems like it will withstand the heat and dishwasher safe is always a nice bonus. It is well worth the value
