Cooks Standard02569 8-Inch/20cm Nonstick Hard Anodized Fry Saute Omelet Pan, Black, Aluminum

Brilliant for eggs!

Since receipt of this pan, It's been used several times per week, every week, and I can and do report that it has not disappointed. Over the years, I've used dozens of non-stick pans and all with the same result, eventually. Typically, and commonly, within a year or so of first use, the non-stick finish had either lost, or was noticeably losing, its effectiveness. More often than not, that loss began after the first few months of regular use. Not so this pan, certainly not yet. The pan is well-made, properly weighted, heats evenly, has a flat bottom, pour-over lip, coating both inside and outside, heat-dispersing handle, very easy clean-up, and is overall a satisfying tool in my kitchen. As time goes on, I'll report again should performance begin to deteriorate. For now, though, I can and do recommend this pan that I bought, by the way, instead of the Oxo Pro I first considered. I admit, the description, and the lower price, were persuasive in my decision to purchase this one. More later.Rapidly closing in on a year for this pan in my kitchen and to my most pleasant surprise, it's held up exceedingly well, far better than any other non-stick pan I've used over many years. I take good care of my tools, and this pan, after all, is a tool; hand-washing, no metal utensils, no searing hot temperatures, (SS or cast iron are appropriate for them), and while there are signs of age, cosmetically, on the outside, the inner surfaces are, I'd say, 99.5% as they were when new. Most non-stick pans, regardless of price, don't typically survive a year of frequent use, but this one is still going strong. A very worthwhile investment. By the way, some have reported uncomfortable heat conductance through the handle. I have not experienced that at all, unless said handle is exposed to a heat source, unlikely in this size. Smaller sizes on large burners, well, that's likely. Small pans, though, ought to be heated on small burners. "More later..." Nearly two years since original purchase and, alas, the non-stick surface, well, isn't. It's gradually degraded, as they all do, but lasted months longer than others I've used. Hand washing, never high heat, and seasoning after about six months, delays the degradation, but can't prevent it. I was going to purchase a new one, although the pan itself is in very good condition, (not non-stick anymore), but the price has increased by more than thirty-three per cent. As far as I know, the price of all the constituent elements has gone down, so the increase is unjustified and disappointing. I'll look for an alternative at what I regard as a more fair price.

Love this pan. Great function of non-stick, looks strudy but not so heavy. It is little bit smaller than my expectation because 20cm is mouth size, not a bottom size. Price is also affordable. Fast delivery is appreciated but please try to reduce the packaging waste.

Terrible quality. Less than one year on all of the coating has flaked off. We have a gas stove top.We have cooks standard stainless steel saucepans which are still going strong but I do not recommend this frypan.See pictures below.

Llevo un mes usándolo y me encanta, no necesitas mas que una gota de aceite para freír huevos, por ejemplo, se limpia súper fácil y el material aparentemente es muy resistente, hasta el momento. Lo volvería a comprar en un tamaño más grande

I am so impressed overall with this Omelette pan and the Stainless Steel w/ conductive core in base / Large stock / pasta pot with lid also from same brand . I have an extensive cookware collection with most pieces Made in France ....The Cooks Standard brand has attention to quality materials and construction & is also very good value for your dollar . I have only used this latest purchase a few x so far for omelettes & pancakes.... but the performance is impressive. Holds the heat well ( I have a ceramic cooktop ).. and has a solid construction / heavy feel .. Love the riveted / sturdy made handle which is comfy to grip ( I am a Senior ). Great prices... great quality and free shipping from Amazon... Happy !! Five stars plus .
