The cast stainless steel handle with a thick and soft silicone cover offers a comfortable grip area and makes it easy to handle this lightweight pan as you continue with the cooking progress.

Users who like the pan commend the easy cleanup process that follows any cooking session and the efficient heat distribution on gas, electric, and ceramic cooking stoves. The bottom of the pan is also flat, which allows it to sit squarely on the cooking stove. We recommend moderating the heat when using it to avoid warping.

Cleaning:

The smooth surface that has porcelain coating cleans easily using soap and water. The manufacturer lists this pan as dishwasher safe but that should be done only once in a while. Moreover, only use non-abrasive utensils such as wooden and nylon cooking spoons on the cooking surface to prevent it from scratching.

The Tramontina Professional pan has a silver-colored exterior with a satin finish and an eclipse black interior cooking surface.

The handle is straight, slightly slanted, and held in place by three horizontally placed rivets that are on the interior of the pan. It has a 12-inch cooking surface and only weighs 3.85 pounds.

Materials:

The body of the Tramontina Professional fry pan is made from NSF-Certified commercial-grade heavy-gauge aluminum that enables quick and even heating. A cooking surface that features reinforced high performance non-stick coating releases food easily and minimizes possibility of food items sticking on it.

The handle is triple-riveted to fix it on the body permanently and comes with a removable silicone cover. This pan is viable for oven use up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and over gas, electric, and ceramic cooking stoves.

Usability:

We like the straight handle because it allows easy handling of the pan in the kitchen. The accompanying removable silicone cover offers a firm grip and remains cool to the touch when cooking in the kitchen.

The comments we sampled about this pan were from many satisfied customers who enjoy cooking using the pan due to its light weigh, flat bottom, and straight handle. Many users also reported having an easy time tossing and turning food.

A few users did not like the fact that the pan comes without a covering lid, which means that one has to purchase it separately.

Cleaning:

We recommend cleaning the pan using warm water, mild soap and a non-abrasive cleaning sponge. Ensure that you allow the pan to cool off first before cleaning and avoid using metallic utensils that can scratch the non-stick cooking surface of the pan. When cleaning, ensure you remove the silicon handle and dry it before you place it back.

The handle that is made from cast steel remains cool to touch enabling handling of the pan possible even after long hours on the cooking stove.

Users who have bought this pan mostly gave positive feedback regarding its use. They seem to love its performance over induction cooking stoves, its stay cool handle, which is comfortable and safe to hold even while in use.

To minimize cases of food sticking to the cooking surface, be sure to thaw frozen food completely before cooking it on the pan. Additionally, pre heat it with oil before adding any food.

Cleaning:

Cleaning it should be done with a cleaning sponge, warm water, and soap. For any stuck food items, soak the pan in warm water for a while before cleaning, which makes the food items soft and easy to remove.

Observe the heat when using this pan and only use low to medium heat. Only use high temperature when the pan has enough liquid content to allow even heat distribution.

The professional fusion pan from Tramontina comes in variable sizes of 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch, and 14 inch pans that have a silver exterior with satin finish and a dark non-stick cooking surface on the interior.

The handle is straight and slightly slanted. The handle's meeting point with the body is made with a creative fusion design.

Materials:

The pan's body is made of a heavy gauge aluminum, which enables quick and even heat conduction while the interior cooking surface has a non-stick surface that is PFOA-free and rivet-less for effortless food release and fast cleanup.

The handle is attached to the body using a rivet-less technique and comes with a soft silicon cover that allows you to handle the pan even when hot. The pan is viable for use over gas ceramic and electric cooking stoves.

The heavy-duty aluminum core heats up quickly and evenly while the reinforced non-stick cooking surface releases food efficiently and is durable.

For extra protection, the removable soft silicone cover that comes with the pan allows the cook to hold the handle even when the pan has been on the cooking stove for hours.

From user comments that we sampled regarding customers' experience with this pan, we gathered that the pan's performance is impressive. Moreover, long usage does not degrade the shape of the pan even after using for a long time. Users who own induction heaters, however, feel disappointed because the pan does not support cooking with induction heaters.

Cleaning:

To clean the stainless steel pan, just wash it with warm water and a cleaning sponge with mild soap. You can also wash the pan in the dishwasher as guided by the manufacturer. We, however, recommend minimizing the number of times you do this. When washing, be sure to remove the silicone cover on the handle first.

The body of the pan features an ergonomic handle and a helper handle. Both the handles extend seamlessly from the cast iron body, thus eliminating the need for rivets. The pan is available in 10-inch and 12-inch sizes.

Cleaning:

When cleaning this pan, we recommend you follow the instructions by the manufacturer and only hand wash both the porcelain interior and the enameled exterior. Additionally, avoid stacking other utensils on the pan because you might damage the cooking surface. With proper care, the pan should serve you for many years.
