Misen 5-Ply Stainless Steel 10" Frying Pan - Professional Cookware for Induction, Gas and Electric - Dishwasher Safe, Oven Safe to 800°F - Durable, Versatile, Even Heating

As a chef, I feel this Misen pan is as good as my All Clad. It has a good heft, but not too heavy, it cleans up pretty well (although do plan on using some occasional Bar Keepers Friend if you're picky). I haven't noticed any hot spots, it is perfectly flat, and hasn't warped at all. I'm not gentle in the kitchen, and am pleased with the resilirnce of this pan, especially at this price point.

I know that non-stick is popular, and I get it. We always went that route, too (or cast iron, which I find to be sometimes "easy care" and other times "hard to care for" as they can rust on the bottom and leave stains). But, by gum, I have to say this is even easier to clean than regular non-stick, as I *can* use a scrubber, and as fiercely as I feel like without fear of damaging it. And, there's no coating to wear off and get into your food. There's no hard-earned "seasoned" patina to try and not remove and no "seasoning" to redo every so often. We can use this in the oven for certain dishes, as well. Something that you can't do with most non-stick pans (maybe you can with the ceramic types, if the manufacturer says it's ok).We have spent years cycling through non-stick pans. The cheaper and the more expensive ones out there. All last only so long. A year here, a couple of years there. But always needing to be replaced after what feels like a short time. During this, we have owned a set of stainless steel pots - for at least 25+ years, and never needing to replace them.So, when the most recent inevitable time to replace The Pan came, we bought this along with a carbon steel pan (the one my husband was most excited to get) and a ceramic coated pan (the one I was most excited to get). Out of the three, this is the one we both reach for, time and time again. And, as the person who does 85% of the dishwashing, I really appreciate the easy cleanup it provides (I swear, I will not try and wash that carbon steel one, as I don't want to accidentally remove the baked-on protective layer that my husband has so lovingly built up on it). Even though we do own stainless steel pots, I hadn't thought it would be just as easy to clean a pan (something you cook more aggressively in) as they are. Even after a burned disaster. It always looks like new after washing. Even with the worst mess, it doesn't take a whole lot to get it clean again.The thick bottom - and I do mean thiiiiick - really helps distribute the heat evenly.Hands down, our most favourite pan. When we finally decide to add in more pans for size variances, I will be looking at getting them from this line.

Great quality and almost indestructible pan for years to come. Great investment overall!Food will not stick, you just need to learn how to use it. The capacity is great for 1 to 3 portions.

Beautiful and functional cookware. Very well made. Handle fits my hand good. Wish it had a cover though. I recommend it.

Misen makes solid pans that perform well. This is a nice shape and depth for a 12" pan, and 5-ply stainless steel is great. Stainless steel is NOT nonstick, but with the right temperature and sufficient oil, you can avoid anything that's too difficult to clean. And really, this is a benefit. Nonstick coatings don't last and they eventually chip off into your food.One excellent feature of Misen's pans is that the rims are sealed. At the edge of most clad pans, including much more expensive brands, you can actually see the layers of steel and aluminum. This isn't a problem cosmetically, but aluminum can corrode pretty easily and is especially susceptible in the dishwasher. Technically, clad pans shouldn't be washed in the dishwasher unless the rims are sealed. All-Clad lost a lawsuit about this, because the aluminum wears down while the steel stays intact, leaving sharp layers of steel that are thin enough to cut skin. There aren't a lot of clad pans with sealed rims out there, and Misen is the lowest-cost option that I'm aware of. If you don't want to hand-wash your pans, this should be a huge factor for you when considering a large cookware investment.I ended up going with another brand, because I personally don't like Misen's handle. It's high quality and comfortable, but it has a polished finish that makes it slippery compared to brushed handles or handles with a less comfortable curved spoon shape (like All-Clad). To me, that was a bigger factor than being able to use the dishwasher, so I ended up with a Made In set that I wash by hand. If you like a round polished handle, Misen is a GREAT option. It's also one of the cheaper clad options out there and they've got a great reputation. I do still recommend this pan.

Love this pan. It heats evenly, feels solid, and has quickly become my go-to for everything from eggs to steak. Easy to clean, oven safe, and you can tell it’s built to last. Worth every penny.
