"Beware of product support. This is my second OXO pan. Up until this purchase I was very pleased with OXO. However, a few months after my purchase, I noticed food beginning to stick in one area of the pan. Quite rapidly this got worse. The area where food sticks is about the size of an egg. In the center of that area, the coating chipped.Now, oxo is a great brand and I assumed exchanging the pan wouldn't be a problem.As per the OXO website, I filled out the form. A few days later, I got an email stating that warranty issues were actually handled by a different company and gave me their email address.Why they couldn't forward my issue to that other company I don't know. But with extra hoops to jump through like this I wonder how many issues they avoid.I forwarded my complaint. A few days later I got a reply asking for photos of the pan. Again, a step I followed when I completed the original form, but apparently didn't get forwarded with my second email. So included photos of yet pan and sent those along.Today I got a reply explaining that chipping was normal and the pan was actually safe. She completely ignored the fact that this expensive no-stick pan is sticking. The chipping happened after the pan lost its no-stick surface.So, I'm throwing away this garbage pan, and incredibly disappointed by OXO's response. Not so much about the pan, but I was truly a fan of OXO's quality and just assumed an issue like this would be met with a bit more of a sense of urgency.Clearly, OXO doesn't care."

Once again America's Test Kitchen has done it again!! great 12" skillet, non stick, light and the contours of the handle are great. It's a steal at any cost, get yours before they run out. This completes our collection of 8", 10" and now the big 12" with the lid.jclkmr

This is a quality pan. Frys evenly and cleans up beautifully. A medium heat is recommended for this pan and it works well. You don't need to use a real high heat, even for searing, and it's recommended that you don't for longevity . Heats up quickly. Can use in oven. Follow instructions for pan and it will serve you well. Happy with purchase.carrie brownfield
The skillet is very nice, and the food cooks evenly with easy clean-up.
