SCANPAN Professional 2.75 Quart Nonstick Saute Pan with Glass Lid - Dishwasher, Oven & Metal Utensil Safe Cookware - Made in Denmark - Perfect for Sautéing, Frying & Simmering

This is a very nice heavy pan with very thick aluminum, which is an excellent heat conductor and a ceramic titanium coating for nonstick and a magnetic stainless steel bottom so it works with induction.. It heats evenly up to 450 degrees and fries evenly and quickly. The problem is one of the features of induction is how fast the temperature goes up and down, like on gas. But this pan is so heavy--think cast iron-- it retains the heat so long that turning down the heat does not do much. It keeps cooking away for minutes even if you take it off the cooktop. A good lesson for me. I will stick with good quality 3 ply pan. Obviously it will have this problem with any type of cooktop but it is especially bad with induction since it heats the pan without a hot burner under it. The pan stays hot enough, long enough that the surface of the induction cooktop, which is ceramic, gets a little hot as well. Have not encountered this with any other cookware except cast iron. Better off with a 3 ply pan with the ceramic non-stick coating.Addition: I called Amazon and as usual they made the return simple and free by sending me a prepaid UPS label by email You can't beat Amazon for returns and customer service.Great pan, Scanpan makes incredible products. Cooks great and cleans easy. Not too much more to say then that.Oh my God this thing is a beast! A two hander, definitely.I've only had this 12.5" pan for a little while, but I've had a great experience using a smaller (maybe 8") scanpan for about 6 months.The surface is incredibly nonstick! I had a frittata practically climb out of the pan at the edges because the eggy surface had absolutely no grip on the pan as it expanded, which was a first. That was on the smaller fry pan: I'd just like to see one climb out of this deep sucker.We get nearly constant use out of this big saute pan as it holds so much. Though I do not love wrestling it around the sink to clean it, I appreciate what it does.I purchased Scanpan for a number of reasons: Primarily because it is non-stick made of both titanium and ceramic (patented by Scanpan). It does not give off carcinogens when heated nor does it transmit them to your foods. Secondly it is made of recycled aluminum. This makes it environmentally sound in both ways. There is no risk of aluminum leaching into food because of the titanium/ceramic material. Cooking is healthy. There is no need to put any type of oil in the pan. Foods do not stick. Cleanup is easy. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is because the stainless steel lid has sharp edges and I'm afraid I might cut my fingers on it.Nicest pan I have ever owned. Takes a little while to heat up. It is very heavy. Unless you're a body builder, you won't be able to do the one handed flip to turn food over like they do on TV. Get yourself a spatula.It is big + wide, so it is best to make certain your stove/stove-top can handle its size. It works great and found it is perfect for paella.I love this pan. Even heating. Good qualityBe very careful with the included handle pads. You cannot cook on a gas stove with them on. You'd think they'd make them flame retardant, but nope - they're ridiculously flammable and one blast of flames will set them on fire.Absolutely fabulousI've been admiring a fiend's for a while and finally got my own. Heats very evenly, good size and very versatile. And non stick actually works. Worth the money. Get the one with the stainless lid better than the glass lid.I use it to cook everything
