T-fal A8210264 Initiatives Oven Safe Nonstick Inside and Out 8-Inch Fry Pan / Saute Pan Dishwasher Safe Cookware, Graygoodusa

First, I think expensive non-stick is a waste since the cookware has to be resurfaced or replaced once it's scratched or worn. I was looking for a super slick inner surface for not a lot of buck. The T-Fal pans were it.

The inside of the pans are very slick. They are not heavily textured like other pans. This seems counter-intuitive to me; expensive pans want to last longer so they texture their surface yet that adds more surface area for the food to stick to. As an example, I have a harder time cleaning the bottom of the pans than I do the inside.

The thickness of the pan is thin. It is thick enough to even low and medium flames but it cools very quickly. It's a very nice egg pan.

My only complaint is the handle. Even as tight as the screw will go, two of my handles still move slightly side-to-side. It's not enough to affect cooking, but it's annoying.

Overall, I'm very happy with spending $10 for a super slick pan.

I expected to receive a pan similar to the photo displayed, with the red heat sensitive dot in the center of the pan, but it is not the same product. Product is actually called "Initiatives Total Non-Stick." I bought it as a gift and may need to return it.

This pan is not the same quality as my original T-Fal pan that I have had for some time. It is very light weight in comparison. I don't know if this brand has various levels of products or if they have changed all their products to a lighter weight.
