Tefal Pro Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pan with Lid 3 Quart Induction Compatible Oven Safe 500F, Lid 350F, Deep Frying Pan, Fast & Even Heat, Professional Quality, Durability, Dishwasher Safe, Silver

This skillet is an excellent value. The build, appearance, and cooking performance are excellent not just for the price, but even compared to my more expensive pans. T-fal also did a great job with packaging/shipping material. By comparison, I recently purchased a more expensive Cook's Standard pan (made in C...) and the packaging was horrendous and build quality inferior. I will be buying more from T-fal, solid brand - buy with confidence!

Quality sauce pan. Evenly heats on electric. Got it for induction.

I have a lot of various pans I use in cooking (you can never have enough!). This T-fal Pro Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pan is part of a new line of cookware from T-fal, so I was pretty excited to see how well it is made, as previous T-fal pans I've used have been pretty good. This pan has some weight to it and does not feel like a cheap thin-metal pan. It balances nicely and heating is pretty even across the pan surface. I like that the handle is riveted to the pan, no screws to loosen up or trap anything. Having a steam vent hole in the glass lid is always nice have. As it is designed to accommodate virtually all range types (gas, electric, inductive), it is quite versatile. As another review had mentioned, cooking with stainless (not non-stick) surface pans is different and you need to pay a little more attention. Simply put, you need to preheat the pan and you will need to use an oil when doing any frying as this is not a non-stick. The tip of dropping a drop of water to see if it dances on the surface is wise to use so you know the pan is ready to use. There are times that I like to use non-stick pans (cooking eggs especially), but there are also many times that I like to use stainless surface for searing meat, sautéing various items and even for sauces. Also, I don't have to worry about scratching the surface so can use all-metal whisks and cooking utensils. If you enjoy cooking, this is a nice addition to have.

I used this 5 days ago after just putting it in the cabinet. I used a stainless steel utensil. THIS is what happened. Indentions from heat! Would love a refund. ..

T-fal packaged this product very well so I was surprised to find pitting & a small gouge in the center. It was hard to capture in a photo but it is bad enough that you can see and feel the burrs. It's a shame because this pan is the perfect size to fill in between my large & small saute pans. It has a very nice stay cool handle. The pan heated up ok in my test but not quite as evenly as my more expensive tri-ply pans. Without the defects the overall appearance of the pan is comparable to high priced pans. In satisfactory condition I would rate this product 4 stars because it looks & performs well for the price. To be fair I am docking them only 1 star for the defect though it doesn't adequately reflect my disappointment. T-fal is a good budget brand but if they want to move up to the bigs they need better quality control. I can't return this item so I will attempt to buff out the burrs before preparing food with it.
