Farberware Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Deep Skillet

This Farberware skillet can go in the oven and is so easy to keep clean. The price is unbeatable and they last forever. The non-stick coating is durable and can withstand stainless steel utensils and abrasives. It is a joy to wash and use because it cooks food evenly. I would recommend this skillet to ANYBODY. It is all it says it is and more.

This is a great skillet for almost anything. It is deep, so it will handle lots of food. It is very good quality; the finish looks like it will last forever with proper care. I have cooked with it on fairly high heat with no problems. As some have said, it is not very thick on the bottom. However, I have not found any reason why it needs to be. I am completely satisfied with its performance. I use a ceramic cooktop, and this skillet works perfectly with it. The extra handle makes moving the "loaded" skillet easy. The long handle is not so long that it becomes a safety issue. It doesn't have a lid, but how often do you need a lid? The lid is available separately.Farberware Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Deep SkilletFarberware Classic 12-Inch Nonstick Deep Skillet

I have been using this pan nearly everyday for over 8 months. I never imagined I would use it so much when I bought it but it has been great for everything. It is thick sturdy material and has not warped on me. I feel it is great quality. The non-stick surface has held up better than any other I have seen. I dont have a single scratch in it. I own mostly Farberware pots and pans some 15 years old. My parents have had theirs for over 40 years without even a cracked handle.

I purchased one of the 12-inch glass lids and really like it too. I think one or the other may be slightly out of shape because sometimes I have to shift the lid slightly to get it to fit. But this only happens on occasion.

I bought this pan in 2005 but didn't start using it until early this year when the pan I used for making home made spaghetti sauce started peeling. I had to use a glass lid that didn't really fit this pan well but the one that Amazon was selling never shipped and now they don't sell it any more. I have been reading some of the reviews and people say the pan warps and that the non-stick peeled and bubbled (a Kids Review) but I have not found that. No manufacturer of non-stick pans ever recommends using high heat -- always low or medium at most. It is best to use nylon or the new silicon tools to keep the surface in good condition. I find that nearly any non-stick pan starts to stick when the surface is scratched and starts to show cuts down to the metal.

By the way -- I found a good lid for it Farberware 12-Inch Stainless Steel Lid

Too heavy and expensive for a 12-inch skillet. Week after i bought this nonstick skillet online i saw a similar skillet for just $11.99 at Walgreens.
