Scanpan Classic 12-1/2-Inch Covered Chef Pan

Scanpan Classic 12-1/2-Inch Covered Chef Pan

Scanpan Chef Pan, (What's this?) I am a great fan of Scanpan and have several pieces. I am slowly replacing my Le Cruset and Calphalon with this product and have been very pleased with all my purchases. I really love the chef pan and use it several times each week. I highly recommend these pans to serious cooks.
Versatile Everyday Pan!, Excellent non-stick properties, but like every other non-stick coating I have ever come across, it will eventually start to peel. Important differences that I should point out though are: 1) Much easier to brown on this pan, not sure if it's because of the high heat that this non-stick pan can handle, or the fact that because it is a large sized pan foods can more easily be spread out so things don't parboil; 2) Oil doesn't seem to smoke; 3) It's lasted longer than any other of our non-stick pans with everyday abuse; 4) can handle our oven at 500 degrees; AND 5) (and most important) The SCANPAN company truly does seem to stand behind their product! I called up about 2-3 weeks ago noting that my pan was starting to peel (just a few small scratches/peels near the center), and they immediately emailed me a RA # and form to return the damaged pan and less than 2-weeks after I sent in my original Chef/Saute pan, we received via FedEx a brand new one.

Sizewise, it's noticeably larger (wider and deeper) than Calphalon's Everyday Pans (Simply Calpholon or Contemporary versions) but not too big like the Ecolution Artistry 14 Inch Colossus Pan (all available on Amazon by the way). BUT, it is much more expensive.
Great frying pan!, My 2nd Scanpan, a bit expensive but very much worth it! It replaces a simply Caphalon pan that had hot spots. This works just as I hoped/expected.
Scanpan rocks!, (What's this?) Yes, this line of cookware is expensive. And yes, it is worth it. I have a gas stove, so I do not have a "must be level" issue. This pan just replaced 3 older pieces of cookware (I did keep my Revereware pan - sentimental). It heats and cooks evenly, uses less heat to cook completely, and cleans up like a dream. The manufacturer says this can go in the dishwasher, but I do not do that with my good pans. I have decided to replace all of my old cookware with Scanpan items.
