These are the best pots/pans I have ever used! This particular one I actually purchased as a gift for my mom, but I have completely switched all of my pots and pans to the T-Fal E series. I have yet to cook (or burn) anything that actually stuck to the surface and couldn't just be wiped out. FOR EXAMPLE: I occasionally make sandwiches for my family, and one thing that I do is throw deli meat (whether it's turkey, ham, salami, etc.) in the pan to heat it up and give it a slight crispiness, and top it with cheese (processed, shredded, real cheese, whatever we have at the time). I will then flip it over to "toast" the cheese side. Again, the cheese releases from the surface as good as the meat does, and this gives it a little smoky flavor that adds to the overall taste. This is by far the best non-stick pan I have ever used!
PROS:
Incredibly non-stick
No harmful chemicals in the coating (does NOT contain PTFE (Teflon)
Super easy to clean
Lightweight, but solid
Has a color changing circle in the center to let you know when it's hot
Retains a considerable amount of heat (you can cook the same with less heat from the burner)
CONS:
Does not hold up to use with metal utensils -- have to use silicone-coated or plastic
Made of aluminum -- this contributes to the light weight, but is soft and dents/bends easily if not properly cared for
Lids are not readily available (T-Fal does not make them)
After about 2 1/2 years of near daily use, this particular pan became "sticky" due to improper care (the non-stick surface became VERY scratched, down to metal in some spots), but this is not a fault of the pan. It could have easily been prevented.
I cook just about every meal for my family, and after using this I would never switch to a different brand or series of pots and pans. But, like any high-quality item, they must be properly cared for.
SUGGESTIONS:
ALWAYS wash by hand, do NOT put in dishwasher!! (This should be self-explanatory, it takes approximately 30 seconds to completely clean by hand). For me, washing consists of a rinse under hot water, a simple wipe (NO SCRUBBING NEEDED) with either a soapy soft-sponge or cloth, followed by a hot water rinse and towel dry. DONE!
NEVER heat pan with nothing in it!! (Even though it is non-stick, you should always add a little oil/butter or whatever you are cooking to the pan while heating). This prevents the pan from overheating.
DO NOT overheat!! Overheating the pan causes the coating to "scorch" and will greatly reduces it's effectiveness.
ALWAYS use plastic or silicone-coated utensils, as metal utensils WILL damage the surface.
Pay attention to your cooking temperature! The design of these pans allow you to get a better cook in the same amount of time with less heat on the burner! For example, I can boil water with the burner set at 6 in the same amount of time that it takes an aluminum or stainless pot to boil with the burner on 9 or 10. Frying (say, eggs or burgers) can be done on 4 or 5, whereas other pans need to be on 7 or 8. **YOU'RE SETTINGS MAY DIFFER!! EVERY STOVETOP CAN PRODUCE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF HEAT!!**
I have used everything from cheap ceramic-coated non-stick to very expensive (and overpriced, if you ask me) PROFESSIONAL stainless steel cookware, and nothing I have used in the past can even begin to compare with the quality of this series of pots and pans by T-Fal. Not to mention, the price on this series is outstanding, and i would easily pay double for them if I had to, and they are definitely worth it!.
I have repeatedly, and continue to recommend these to ANYONE looking for pots/pans or having a problem with sticking food. Now, I am not a professional chef, and I do not consider myself to be, but I do cook with multiple pots/pans a lot, and these have made cooking a much better experience for me, and cleanup is much simpler (no soaking to get the stuck-on crud off!).

Great pan, the only draw back is the handle gets fairly Hot even with the thick rubber insulater. A new Y design at the base of the fry pan is needed.Read more

It is non stick, large, and you can cook anything in it. However, do not expect to brown a roast or other meat in it. Cast iron is better for frying....Read more

My Favorite Pan
I deliberately waited for a while to write a review on this pan so I can review about its durability. It is now eight months since I've been using it and I use it regularly. I am someone who cooks regularly and am comfortable with making recipes that are elaborate and time-consuming. I make traditional American recipes but I also cook French, Indian and to an extent Mexican food all of which require durable pans. As an avid cook, I also must admit I'm harsh with my utensils so the pans I had purchased from the run-of-the-mill brands usually looked quite used or scratched by 8 months. I decided to purchase this pan because I desperately needed a nice pan but also I have a bias towards this brand T-Fal (or TeFal) since the brand is French and so am I. I also of course read all the raving reviews here on Amazon but had a hard time believing that a pan so good would be so cheap. I have payed five times more for pans in brick and mortar stores for a lot less quality. During the last 8 months, I have done everything under the sun that you would expect to do with a pan; sauté, fry, boil, re-heat, slow heat etc. I have cooked hard vegetables (like carrots), soft veggies (like kale), fruits, all kinds of meat and lentils. Some of my cooking which is normally extremely demanding on the average pan takes very little toll on this one. This pan really IS non-stick. I have REALLY deep fried chicken Southern style yet all the scrapings came off with almost no muscle power. Both the pan and the lid are completely unaffected by my ratty old dishwasher which could use a replacement. The thermo-spot heat indicator is an added bonus for me. Now I don't have to play guessing games anymore on when the oil is preheated enough to sauté or fry items. However the only caveat is the scratch-resistant part. Yes, compared to the run-of-the-mill pan, this pan holds up well against scratches but it is not 100% scratch-proof. There were couples of occasions that I can remember where I cleaned the pan in a jiffy with a wire brush which caused a dinger on the pan (which you can clearly see in the picture). So definitely don't expect this to be fully immune against scratching from metal. But other than that, this pan has held up really well to my use of the pan and has become my favorite pan of all. I find myself always picking this pan from the rest when I'm cooking. I like when a kitchen utensil is functional but I like it even more when the utensil is also hassle-free cleaning because while I love cooking, I hate the aftermath cleaning part. So in that regards, this pan is also great because it requires minimal effort to get it looking sparkly again. For the price I paid, I'm extremely pleased with the quality and durability of this pan and recommend it to anyone who needs pans on the daily. I'm attaching pictures of the pan from when I received it (that's the picture with the T-Fal booklet), during various cooking processes and one taken 8 months after use. I hope my review was helpful.
