MICHELANGELO Stainless Steel Frying Pan Set with Lids, 9.5 & 11 Inch Frying Pans Nonstick, Stainless Steel Fry Pan Set, Honeycomb Pans for Cooking, Skillet with Lid - Induction Compatible

This is really a 4.5 star review! I very much like these pans, they work well and are non-stick with the exception of eggs, but I expected that. I have a specific pan for eggs without the pattern that they tend to stick to. Anyway, the pans feel solid and well made and have made some lovely meals. The ONLY reason I would knock off half a star is because the lid handles are horrendously difficult to install!! I had to use a drill with a phillips bit, I know sketchy on a glass lid, but there is no way a regular screw driver will work to get these installed. I almost returned them but then used the drill and managed to get them attached. Other than that, I am very happy with them.

Nice little frypan. Perfect weight and size. Durable handle that doesn’t get too hot to hold when cooking. Included glass lid also has an angled handle that allows it to stay cool and easy to grip. All cookware should come with this type of lid handle! I also got this particular pan because it’s also induction capable even though it’s mostly used on a gas stove. I also like that you can use metal utensils as there’s no Teflon or other type of nonstick surface that would be ruined using metal utensils. BUT, it’s NOT nonstick as advertised. I’m ok with that though, just use oil etc. and put things in it after it’s hot. It’s a sturdy, perfectly weighted pan that has a nice appearance, especially the interior surface - nice design. I got the 8”, looking to purchase the full size frypan as well now too. Update: Works incredibly well, best skillet I've ever used. Even tho not totally nonstick, very easy to clean.

Im returning. The food is sticking no matter how much oil I use. Not very healthy. Nonstick cooking spray isnt sufficent

I have a full set of Hexclad pots and pans which I absolutely love. I needed one additional 8-inch pan, and rather than buy another Hexclad pan which costs $160 with a lid, I thought I'd give this MICHELANGELO pan a try since it would only be secondary pan in my collection. Like the Hexclad, the MICHELANGELO pan has a surface comprised of thousands of stainless steel nubs which are surrounded with recessed non-stick material. The result is a pan that is nearly indestructible and will last a lifetime. You can use metal utensils, steel wool, Bar Keepers Friend cleaner, etc. without harming or delaminating the recessed non-stick material which would otherwise be a concern with typical non-stick pans. Two important considerations for using these pans: 1. Season the pans before first time use by placing a teaspoon or two of avocado oil in the pans for 2-3 minutes on medium heat, then let the pan cool and wipe off the excess oil. 2. To maximize the non-stick qualities of this pan, use much lower heat settings than you'd use in other pans. Because of the stainless steel, these pans can get much hotter than other pans. If you don't lower the heat, food may stick. Not a problem though with lower heat settings! For example, if you cook eggs at a heat setting of 4 with other pans, use a heat seating of 2.5 with these pans. If you are looking for a good pan that you will never need to replace and at a reasonable price, try these!

Original review below. This pan started out great, and lasted for a while as my go-to fryer. But now it has become useless. Overnight it went from a good non-stick frying pan to a full stick frying pan. Cannot cook without everything sticking to the pan. It still looks the same as the day I got it, no signs of wear, no coating degradation issues... It just doesn't work as a non- stick pan anymore. What an absolute let down, as this was so nice and easy to use, now I don't think I can use it for anything. Not sure about a warranty, but I will have to look around. So I waited several months to write this review. The first few times I used the pan, I was sure that the heat distribution was skewed towards one side of the pan. It was only with repeated use that I realized that the problem was my burner being out of balance, and the pan was just accurately reflecting the heat from below. Now that I have adjusted to how it transfers heat, the pan is a breeze to use. Very good non stick surface, a drop of oil goes a long way, a d it is super easy to clean! Most definitely would buy another!

This is a great set!! Love the pans. They rival hexclad

I bought the 10" & 12" frying pan set with lids approximate 17 months ago and they still look like new today. My kitchen includes a pressure cooker, and a air fryer. So these pans do not get used everyday, but they do get used often. When you grab these frying pans you can feel quality in your hands. The 10" frying pan is a true 10", not like the frying pan it placed. The same with the 12" frying pan. It is large and has room for those big recipes. I like how these pans brown meats, and char everything from steaks, to hot dogs, and brats! Both pans clean up easy, I hand wash mine.

First off, the pan is very nice and big, and very well-made. The lid fits nicely and it feels very solid. It heats quickly and evenly. If you don't care about how non-stick a pan is, then this is a solid choice. However, if you want a non-stick pan, best keep looking. The hexagonal pattern on the cooking surface is non-stick on the interior of every hex, but the line of exposed stainless around each hex is very sticky. This combination of sticky/non-stick has the effect of tearing the food you're trying to cook if you move it. Fried eggs come out messy and always leave residue on the pan. Fish skin adheres and tears. I just don't know how to use this pan and have the food come out in one piece. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed.
