SENSARTE 11inch Nonstick Frying Pan Chef's Pan with Glass Lid

For years I have been cooking with 2 Calphalon skillets that I loved, until that love died. In the last few months the skillets resembled a really bad relationship. The became clingy, possessive, unable to let go of my food. I realized it was time for a breakup. Since Prime Deals had begun I started to shop for a replacement. I found a Seller that was offering 2 ceramic Calphalon skillets at a very attractive price so I immediately added them to my shopping cart. I did not check out that night since there were other items I needed to order the next day. When I returned to my shopping cart the Calphalon skillets were no longer there, something about the Seller not offering them at that price anymore. Life has taught me that, in a situation like that, rather than be upset about not getting what you want, chill out and allow the Universe to give you what you may need! So I started to search through other Prime Deals and I came across this skillet. I always read the reviews, good and bad, to get a real perspective about the product. (By the way, shoppers, just because a certain item clashes with your decor is no reason to give it a 1 star rating. Just saying.) The fact that it included a lid really appealed to me so I took a leap of faith and I ordered 2 of them, this one and another 8 inch one. They arrived yesterday and I read the instructions that were included (you know, reading the instructions before using a product can be quite useful. I should do it more often.) I hand washed both skillets last night and allowed them to dry on the dish rack. Tonight I went of a "first date" with the 11 inch one. Again, following instructions, I cooked some chicken breasts with fresh garlic and peppers. As they were cooking they were easy to move around with nothing sticking. I was able to get a nice browning on them without much effort. And you know those nice crusty, crispy bits that accumulate at the bottom of the pan as you are cooking, they came off without a problem! I know this is only "a first date" and I should not really judge it completely based on this one experience. But let me put it this way, I am looking forward to our next encounter. So, when you get this package you will receive a skillet, a glass cover and a bonus gift. The skillet comes without the handle attached. But this manufacturer planned ahead for this small inconvenience and has included a very good Philips screwdriver so you can attach the handle yourself. (Honestly, I had never in my life seen a manufacturer include a good hand tool with their product. Oh, sure, Ikea will include a very simple Allen wrench to put their furniture together but nothing like the quality of this screwdriver. Should anyone come across a product that is shipped with a pair of needle nose pliers, please give me a shout out. I am in the market for a pair of those.) I am liking this skillet, so far. It has good weight to it and I really like the wooden accent to the nob and handle. With these 2 skillets I vow to follow the instruction (read the instructions, people, it helps) and hopefully I will have a good pair of skillet for years to come. I hope this review helps your decision. PS. Check out the photos and look at the cool little screwdriver they give you.

Good product

This is a quality pan. The lid could cover tighter along the edges, but it is good enough anyway. The handle is attached by a screw and a screwdriver for that is included. One might thing that it is better to connect the handle with rivets, but I deliberately preferred this model because rivets stick out on the inner surface of the pot, whereas in this model the inner surface is perfectly smooth and no rivets are sticking out. Exactly as I wanted. Now, the metal is thick and the non-stick surface works perfectly.

Best non-stick pan we ever owned. We plan to buy this type of ceramic coated pans in the future because the old coatings wear out too fast!!

This company makes great long lasting products
