  1. I bought the Oxo. I used it once with a silicon spatula and a second time with a nylon (I think) flipper. After cleaning the pan, I noticed a lot of scratches. Some of the scratches were in directions I don't think I moved the cooking tools. I used the flipper to flip a burger ONCE and the spatula to roll an omelette out of the pan. I was dying to get one of these pans. I'm very disappointed in how easily it scratches.

  2. They didnt comment on how flat the surface is. I still have PTSD from owning the T-Fal with the red dot, that thing was absolute garbage because it had a huge bulge in the middle so oil/eggs would just pool to the sides. I really loved the Anolon non-stick pans, they were perfectly flat and used the highest grade non-stick coating, I got 3 years of use before they finally started getting rough after 4 years, I would get them again but the price has more than doubled.

  3. That told me absolutely nothing about the other brands and basing the tests on price and not equal size throughout with variations based on manufacturing limitations is hardly comparable. This sounds like a paid OXO commercial

  4. Hello, I am writing to tell you that — unfortunately — my ZWILLING non-stick pans lost their function soon after I began using them, at the end of 2020. I am asking for a refund or a replacement.. I can show you photos. The problem is that food DOES stick and they are extremely difficult to clean.
    I tried filing a warranty claim on their website but it does not accept my claim when I press "enter". Thank you for following up

  5. I have to disagree with this assessment. I purchased two Oxo Pro Non-Stick Fry Pans in March 2022. The Pro fry pans are a wee bit more expensive than the regular non-stick shown in this video, but they can go into the oven up to 430 degrees. These are the "hard anodised fry pans." Well kids, I must tell you, FOOD DOES STICK to these pans. I use low heat and could not cook an egg or a sliced veggie hot dog without them sticking to the pan. Food will not release if I do not use some sort of oil, butter, etc.

    I am just an ordinary user. I am not paid by anyone to write reviews for any maker of fry pans. I am going to keep the two fry pans I purchased (an 8" and a 10") because I needed new pans, but I am sorely disappointed after relying on ATK's recommendation on these fry pans. A few years ago I purchased a large 12" non-stick pan from Walmart, and it performed better than the Oxo fry pans. I do not even recall what was the brand, but I used it for a few years before it finally began to flake–probably because I used it with too high heat at times.

    In any case, this has been my experience. Your mileage may vary.

  6. Why spend $40 for a pan that will end up in a landfill in a year, when for almost the same amount of money a well seasoned carbon steel pan will last a lifetime? I have several CS pans that I well season and nothing sticks on them. A 8" one is reserved for frying an egg or an omelette, they slide right off.

  7. Hey! I am from India, my name is Ramesh and I have a large number of different and different natural granite( original ) available and Granite Mortar and Pestle Set also, so would you like to buy if yes please send me your contact details so that we can discuss more and deal get done.
