Worth it!

I did receive this pan for free in exchange for my honest review from Butterly. I've been wanting to start using more stainless steel pots and pans instead of the usual Teflon. It's so easy to scratch teflon and get particles of it in your food, which can be carcinogenic. This pan feels nice and sturdy. It's pretty heavy too. The 18/10 stainless steel interior gives me peace of mind knowing that it's of higher quality. I also think the size is perfect, enough to hold a meal for a few people. I've used it to make a chicken quasadilia, and it was perfect. It does take a while to heat up, however, if you have the patience to wait, it's far less likely to have food sticking to it! A huge pro with stainless steel is that I dont have to be worried about scratching it while cleaning it as well. It is fairly expensive given that this frying pan is sold for $65 in Canada, however this type of pan should last longer than the cheaper ones, which i'll be curious to see.Overall, i'm really enjoying this frying pan and would consider buying more from this set.

Versatile and A Kitchen Favourite

I was excited to receive the 28cm (11") Vida by PADERNO Elite Series Stainless Steel Frying Pan for free from Butterly in exchange for an honest review. I have always found it challenging to use stainless steel pans because I'm never patient enough to wait for the pan to heat up before adding ingredients to it. But I'm learning. If you give the pan time to heat up before coating the bottom with oil and adding ingredients to cook, the food should not stick. And because it's 18/10 stainless steel, you don't have to worry about Teflon flakes getting into your food. Plus it is oven and dishwasher safe, and can be used on electric, gas, ceramic and induction cooktops.

Quality Pan

This is a great lightweight, stainless steel pan that does well on the stovetop or in the oven and is dishwasher safe. It is a good size and can hold quite a bit while still maintaining even heat distribution. If you heat it up correctly, there is no issue with food sticking, making it very easy to clean.
Big fan, would definitely recommend!

Pleasantly Surprised with this Quality Frypan

I was so excited to be selected to try this Paderno Elite Frypan!

I have to admit, when I first received this frypan I was a little unsure simply due to its light weight. I own an older set of stainless steel, copper core cookware which I love, but they’re very heavy due to the thick base. I wondered if the light weight of this Paderno Elite Series Frypan meant less even cooking. Boy was I wrong! I fell in love with this pan the first time I used it. I sauteed mushrooms and onions, and I was extremely impressed with the quick heat up and even cooking of this pan. Enough so, that I’m considering buying the whole set!
The pan is very well made and comfortable to hold. I would highly recommend this frypan and the whole set. It would be money well spent and I’m confident these would easily last 20 years + without needing any replacements.

Great cooking pan , non stick

The heat is evenly distributed and nom stick. Although the bottom part is difficult to clean after fry on a high heat.However the size and nom stick feature is amazing.

Amazing frying pan

This frying pan is awesome! First off it looks beautiful! Its super sturdy but not TOO heavy. It heast ups exceptionally fast and as long as you follow recommendations for iron clad food ware its easy to clean!

Such a good quality and heavy pan!

This pan is seriously some impressive quality, it is really versatile, I love using it for basic quick frying needs, like French fries! But I have quickly implemented it as one of my go-to pans when making certain pasta dishes in the oven as well! It is easy to hold and clean!

What a great find!!

I was selected to try out the pan. I usually buy top notch brands as I cook daily and need food safety, food integrity, resilience and performance. I always thought Paderno to be a low quality product but it exceeds even all-clad under every aspect. And it has been easier to clean!

A great addition to my Cookware

I prepared the pans as instructed using oil to seal the pan and ensure that food did not stick. I started off with pancakes to see how the pan worked. The pancakes were evenly cooked and did not stick to the pan. They came out light and fluffy. Next up was bacon. Same as the pancakes, the bacon cooked evenly, but there was some sticking to the pan. I cleaned up the pan, applied a small amount of oil and then cooked scrambled eggs. There was some sticking to the pan, however, clean up was simple with dish detergent and the pan came out shining and clean. The selling feature for me on this pan is that it can be used in the oven, none of my other fying pans have this feature.

Pleasantly surprised!

I have never used an induction pan before so I was excited to test this out! It was safe and evenly heated the food! When used on our stovetop at home it cooked everything evenly. Highly recommend!
