Amazon Basics 3-Piece Stainless Steel Aluminum-Clad Fry Pan Set with 8″, 9 1/2″, and 12″ (Previously AmazonCommercial brand)

Great quality at a great price!
Great quality at a great price! The bottom of the pan is very thick. I use a gas range and the thickness enables even heating. The non-stick qualities are very good. I was a little confused about if I could put it in the dishwasher. The document that came with the pan said to hand wash. The website said it was dishwasher safe. I have put it in the dishwasher and don’t see any damage. I think this product line is great! It is an outstanding value.

Nightmare pans
So many things to hate about these pans:1.) Impossible to clean. I watched videos about how to clean them, purchased the right kind of cleaning tools, and took the time to clean them correctly. They still end up with residue and burnt spots even after a LOT of elbow grease. The extensive cleaning process required after each use is a huge waste of time and energy.2.) The pan can’t be used on high heat. Food burns very quickly at any temperature higher than medium. Keeping it on a lower temperature means it takes a long time to cook and doesn’t sear properly. Even at a lower temperature, some food still inevitably gets burned and the pan turns black in certain areas. These charred regions and burnt pieces of food make it impossible to deglaze the pan. The whole thing needs to be wiped out, meaning all the flavor of the cooked food is lost and can’t be used in a sauce.3.) Food sticks to the pans easily. A lot of butter or oil is needed to keep things from sticking which increases the calories for every meal. Even with plenty of oil it’s still difficult to pry food off the pan when it’s time to flip it.4.) The inside edges of the pan turn black and start smoking. The inner walls of the pan get charred easily and start to burn, even when there’s no food on them. When this happens, it sets off the smoke detector which deafens me, scares the cats, and the smoke makes my whole house stink.5.) These pans are really heavy, especially the 12″ one. This one in particular is impossible to hold in one hand while cleaning it with the other. It’s unbalanced and difficult to move, especially when it’s hot.6.) For the price, it’s disappointing that these don’t include any lids. I ended up buying a universal one separately.I love cooking and I really wanted to love these pans. I spent several months getting used to them and watching tutorials about how to cook with them and take care of them properly. I switched to stainless steel because it’s healthier than the non-stick pans that have toxic coatings and generate carcinogens. Unfortunately it looks like my time and energy were wasted here. These pans took all the joy out of cooking and left me frustrated and disappointed.

cost effective, simple, works like a charm
After much use, I would definitely re-purchase these pans if I needed to. But, since they are performing well and are built to last, I dont expect to need a replacement for years.

Stains easily
First time I cooked eggs in the skillet, they burned and it stained the skillet. I used low/medium heat to cook them, as I wasn’t sure how it would handle eggs.

Muy buen producto, se siento duradero y buena calidad

¡Estos sartenes me parecen geniales! El precio también me parece muy bueno ($787) son de acero inoxidable lo que significa que serán resistentes y no se deformarán. El antiadherente parece bueno, no se ha rayado, claro que nosotros tenemos los cuidados adecuados, compramos espátulas de silicón, uso a fuego bajo a medio. NO SE PEGAN LOS HUEVOS Yujuuu! Cabe señalar que nosotros cocinamos con apenas una gota de aceite de aguacate que esparcimos y quedan perfectos, no se pegan. Tenemos la expectativa que con los cuidados necesarios, vaya, nos duren unos 3 o más años.
