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.

    Best stainless steel pan I've used!

    I've been slowly transitioning all of my T-fal non-stick pans over to cast iron & stainless steel, and I was very impressed by this pan! I started with the pan on medium heat and poured a little water to test that it was heated enough by looking for the water beading when in the pan. My first times cooking with it have been great! It heats quickly & is evenly distributed. I haven't had a problem with food sticking to the pan at all, which was a problem with other stainless steel pans I've use before. I reallt like that the handle of the pan is thick & doesn't get too hot when cooking, which makes for easier maneuvering. It has been a great addition to my expanding collection of stainless and cast iron pots & pans! I will definitely be looking into buying more from this collection.

    A great pan for induction ovens

    The Vida by PADERNO Elite Series 3-Layer Frying Pan is a great asset to any kitchen but especially those with induction ovens. It heats quickly and effectively and has good heat distribution so you don't get cold spots in parts of the pan. You just have to remember this is a clad frying pan so you don't need the heat as high as normal and you should use a touch of oil to stop things from sticking. Its easy to wash and can go in the dishwasher too.

    Amazing quality!!

    I received this frying pan free to try out in exchange for my review and I must say I was impressed! It is an amazing quality stainless steel frying pan with even heat distribution. By properly preheating the pan I was able to cook everything on it without anything sticking. I love this as I am trying to stay away from Teflon and non-stick coated pans. The pan was also very easy to clean by hand and it also is dishwasher safe which is an added bonus!

    Colle beaucoup

    C'est un rapport qualité-prix correct. J'ai un four à induction et cela fonctionne bien. Je me considère comme ayant pas mal d'expérience en cuisine, ayant travaillé en restauration et pour cuisiner beaucoup à la maison. Ce poêlon fonctionne bien pour faire cuire des aliments avec beaucoup de gras ou beaucoup de liquide. Saisir ou griller n'est pas efficace car cela colle beaucoup malheureusement. Il se nettoie bien avec un trempage et un petite éponge légèrement abrasive.
    Il semble être de qualité durable, avec un fond en un seul morceau c'est plus résistant aux grandes chaleurs. Reste à voir à long terme s'il résistera...

    Excellent quality and easy to clean

    My husband and I cook most of our meals at home, and we believe it is always worth it to invest in high quality cookware. We are really impressed with the quality of this pan!!

    It heats up quickly and evenly on our gas stove, and it works well for different type of preparations. Regardless if you want to fry, sauté, cook or sear - this pan got you covered!
    It is sturdy, high quality and not excessively heavy, and I love how easy it is to clean both by hand or in the dishwasher!!

    Great stainless steel pan

    This product is built to last, it's a stainless-steel pan that heats evenly, it can be used in the oven, and is dishwasher safe.
    If you preheat it works amazing, you can cook anything, and it won't stick. Easy to clean and maintain, great quality. Definitively a good alternative to Teflon or cast iron.

    Great Pan!

    I have been reaching for this pan a lot lately! It's easy to use and I'm a fan of the large size. I like the sleek look and the fact that it has rolled edges for mess-free pouring. It cooks the food evenly and I didn't have any problems with food sticking. Docking a star because the pan can be a little hard to clean at times. #gotitfree

    Overall great pan!

    The Vida by Paderno pan is not only a beautiful looking pan, but it functions so well! The handle is well-designed and feels great in your hands - it gives you good control and feels really balanced; and it's always a plus to have the handle be made of the same material to allow the pan to be used in the oven too without issue. The pan cooks food evenly and the walls of the pan are at a great angle (not too sloped so if you try to toss or flip whatever you're cooking it works well and doesn't accidentally send food flying, lol). We also tried cleaning it by hand & in the dishwasher and found that either way, it cleaned up beautifully. Definitely recommend this product and we're looking into getting the other, larger size too.

    Disappointing

    While the size & weight of the pan is great for everyday cooking, unfortunately the heat does not distribute evenly on the pan thereby food will be cooked unevenly. I also noticed that the pan is prone to food sticking so it requires adding a bit more oil.
