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 size pan

    This is the perfect size pan. I never had anything stick ie eggs, grill cheese, pork chops and even bacon. It did get a little white staining but still works great and I would definitely recommend this pan to anyone.

    Loved this pan

    Thank you butterly for the chance to test the Vida by PADERNO Elite Series 3-Layer Frying Pan, Dishwasher & Oven Safe, Stainless Steel for free in exchange for my honest opinion

    This pan takes some patience to use because you have to wait for it to fully heat up before adding oil and cooking.

    It worked really well for me, I found that it did not stick and my food cooked rather quickly. I found it cooked very evenly and quickly as well. I look forward to trying other recipes with this pan

    I like the size, it can fit a lot! This pan can also be used in the oven up to 500F

    I found it very easy to clean as well, just stuck it in the dishwasher as it is dishwasher safe

    Paderno is sold at Canadian tire and it’s a great brand to try out if you love cooking!

    I'm sure it works, but maybe I need more practice

    I used this stainless steel pan for the first time to pan fry my salmon. I waited for the pan to get hot before I added my oil. I then added my salmon in, and within a few seconds I could tell the salmon was cooking really quickly. Unfortunately, when I used my tongs to flip the salmon over, I could tell the salmon was burning on the side that it was cooked on. I had to take all my salmon out and use another frying pan to panfry my salmon. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but since this was my first time using a stainless steel pan, maybe I missed a step. I will try it again, because I like how stainless steel pans contain no harsh chemicals and are better for human health.

    Overall good

    The product was of good use overall. I liked how it was easy and not too heavy to handle. However, when cooking my food, I needed to put more oil than expected, otherwise my food get stick to the pan.
    It's also a decent size to cook for 2-4 people overall. The handle is a bit too thin to my liking but you don't feel the heat from the pan. When washing, it leaves a bit of grease if your food stick to the pan before, so you might need to wash it more carefully.
    Overall, the product is pretty handle and easy to use.

    Good product

    Durable, chic frying pan. Didn’t stick to my vegetables and meat while cooking. Oil has to be heated up prior to cooking. Would purchase Paderno products in the future!

    Flippin amazing

    I love this pan. I never use Teflon coated pans so this was a great pan for me. I have used it on my gas range and haven't seen any issues other than minor discolouration. The pan is a great size and very easy to clean. I saw it in stores and would definitely buy it when on sale. Would definitely recommend this for the person who wants a solid frying pan.

    Great Quality!

    Definitely a bit of a learning curve with stainless steel, but once you get the hang of it it's great! It's has a nice heaviness to it and I like that stainless is non toxic. I did however find interesting that you can't use mental utensils with it.

    Beautiful large pan

    Gorgeous stainless steel pan that feels an appropriate weight that accurately portrays the quality of the frying pan. It you follow the instructions to allow the pan to heat up before adding oil and then letting the oil heat up properly, food should not stick. The heat is very even throughout the surface of pan and it retains the heat very well. The pan gets a nice sear on meat and when there were traces of stuck on bits, it was easily removed by adding some liquid and lightly scraping with a silicon spatula. I feel fancy using this pan and I wish I got gifted the entire set because I would get rid of all of the other pots and pans I have! I will be sure to take care of this pan for one day when I can get all matching kitchenware.

    Works as intended but too many steps

    This product works as intended but isn’t the pan for me or my family. My husband loves pans that aren’t nonstick but greatly prefers his cast iron pan over this one. I still prefer my regular non-stick pans. This one works as intended but the extra steps aren’t worth it for me. Heat pan, add oil, heat oil, and THEN proceed to cook and hope you got everything warm enough that it doesn’t stick.
