Stratanium+ Nonstick Stainless Steel 9.5 & 11" Fry Pan Skillet Set with Lids - Maitre D' - Made in Denmark

Ordered 2 sets, one for myself the other for my daughter. Tried these pans at my aunt’s. was highly impressed at the quality of the pan as well as the functionality. These pans cook best at a lower temperature, with or without added fat. They also clean up effortlessly. They are very nice to hold and to look at and are somewhat heavy which shows they are built to use for a long time. They are attractive enough to use them as the serving dish as well. They are warranted for life which is very impressive. Last set of pans I’ll need for my life. I highly recommend these pans for those looking for top of the line cookware built to last a lifetime.

I'm almost 50, love to cook and have had probably 30 nonstick pans in my life. I have a ceramic cooktop and know from experience that aluminum nonstick pans make marks on the surface that cannot be removed (its literally aluminum). That said only stainless exteriored pans will do now and that trims the field. Used to go out to the local shops and find good quality name aluminum clad nonstick pans for cheap... rinse repeat. Had bought some decent looking stainless nonstick Cuisinarts over a year ago and the largest one was wearing poorly. I never crank them up to high, always hand wash (don't put them in the dishwasher ever) and never use anything that'd scratch them but they simply weren't very good so needed to replace. I had located some nice looking pans from Williams-Sonoma and was getting ready to pull the trigger. We decided to go out to a local shop just to check the quality got there and was really impressed with what was on show display from Williams-Sonoma brand that I assumed was what I had lined up to purchase. Almost had made my mind up and then realized that they were the Hestan version which very expensive. Almost bought them anyway figuring they were so good wuality... why not. Went home and decided to resume the search figuring 250 for a pan that I definitely would have to replace was stupid. Looked around found these from Scan Pan. They make several types and there seem to be very few reviews out there for the maitre D but I decided to go ahead and take the plunge. I realize I've only had these for a little while, but they are literally the best quality pan I have ever laid hands on, including the Hestan ones I saw at William Sonoma that were twice as much. The coating is such high quality. I'm sure it will hold up well. Also, the exterior is a slick stainless steel that will not stain the way that many of other stainless steel pans that have a matte finish to them will. I actually bought a Made in 12-in since scan pan doesn't make that size. Again, I can't speak to longevity yet but got the Made in a few days ago and it doesn't look to be as good a pan. The only negative reviews I've read were that they were really heavy, I mean yeah that's true, but honestly that's not a negative. It's like saying a high end knife is too sharp, weight translates to quality in a pan in my estimation. I can't say enough for the quality of the surface on these pans as well as just aesthetics alone. They are show pieces. These also are IMO more of a French style in that there's less gradual curve from the bottom to the side... I prefer that anyway so win win. Extremely happy with this purchase. Update Nov 24': These pans are still going strong, no signs of wear. The Made In pan died last week... coating flecking off. We used the made in half as often as the Scan Pan.

Best pans we ever had. We are getting rid of all our other pans. These pans cook well, and nothing sticks to them They are heavy, and distribute heat well, and the handle is comfortable to hold. We read the instructions carefully, and discovered It is important to remember to preheat the pans before adding oil or food.

Best pan i have ever had. Nothing sticks and easy to clean. Wonderful purchase!

Love these. I typically cook with Le Creuset and All Clad cookware but wanted something that was good for sticky food items (like eggs) but still felt heavy and good quality. These hit the mark! The only downfall is the mirror finish is easily scratched. Other than that, they are great non stick pans. I don’t expect them to last forever, after all they are non stick, but with relatively light use and silicone utensils, I think they’ll last a long time.
