OXO Grips Non Stick Dishwasher Frypan Reviews Summary

Heat Distribution

Pros:

• "The heat distribution on this pan is so great that all of the pan is hot on the bottom."
• "It heats up evenly and the non-stick surface is great."
• "The pan heats evenly and is well built."
• "The materials and performance are great."
• "It gets hot fast, heats evenly, stays hot forever."
• "Has good heat distribution."
• "It had even heat distribution and cleans up very easily."

Cons:

• "We found that it took far more heat to make it work vs other pans, at least two steps higher."
• "The 12 inch pan is larger than my burner, so the edges don't get as hot as the rest of the pan."
• "It seems to take a while for the heat to penetrate and then suddenly hits all at once."
• "The ‘getting hot’ process takes longer because of the three-layer non-stick coating and never gets as hot as a cs frying pan with no added non-stick coating."

Non-Stick Coating

Pros:

• "Non-stick coating works great."
• "The 3-layered German engineered nonstick coating is simply impressive."
• "This pan really IS non-stick. Have used it over 25 times to date and so far, it has remained non-stick and the finish is still in good condition."
• "The nonstick surface is holding up very well, and it is definitely nonstick."
• "Nothing sticks to this pan, but it still provides a nice browning on foods."
• "Unbelievable how nothing sticks. Food cooks great. I have had this skillet over a year now and use if frequently. Surface is exceptionally durable, not a scratch so far."
• "The nonstick is three layers, so there is very little chance of your food burning."

Cons:

• "Works well enough but the pan is actually bent! I set it on the burner and it wobbles."
• "After a month of use was saw many areas with scratched marks and fibers of top layer (likely aluminium alloy) peeling."
• "The non stick surface can easily scratch even with 3M dish washing pads."
• "The nonstick surface on both started to peel within a year."
• "The non-stick coating showed scuffs and scratches after just a few uses."
• "However, the non stick coat is chipping already."
• "After one year of use the coating has holes in some places."

Build Quality and Design

Pros:

• "The handle is comfortable and ergonomic."
• "I like the rolled edges, which I am able to flip eggs easily compared to other pans I have owned because there is no sharp edge to catch the yolk."
• "The pan is very slick and supports cooking eggs with no problems. It's also very lite weight and easy to clean."
• "The handle stays cool and is comfortable to use."
• "The rolled lip of this pan combined with the sloped sides is a really nice touch."
• "The stainless steel handle provides a secure and comfortable grip."
• "The handle was very comfortable to hold."

Cons:

• "The new one is also dented because they aren't shipped in their own box but intermingled with the other items I ordered with this pan."
• "This pan was far thinner than we expected, with the outer rims being extremely thin and a thicker base for heat."
• "The bottom is not flat enough to keep freshly cooking eggs from rolling to the sides."
• "The finish on the exterior of pan stains easily and is rubbing off."
• "The downside is that the inside bottom of the pan is not flat! When I go to cook a few eggs, they run to the outside of the pan."
• "The pan itself has a great feel. Nice weight distribution when you pick it up."
• "But the sides need to be higher. They are way to low!"

Value and Longevity

Pros:

• "I’ve had it for 4 months and I use it almost daily. It still looks and works like brand new."
• "They’re so easy to clean, the dishwasher isn’t really necessary."
• "Now I mix the eggs right in the pan - no more extra dish to clean and the pan wipes out clean."
• "Cleaning is easy."
• "It is very lightweight but also substantial."
• "The quality of this item is noticeably better than the tefal."
• "The nonstick properties while still good are no longer great and they seem to be degrading even more."

Cons:

• "A little pricey at regular price, but we bought it on sale."
• "At this point, the surface is bad enough that I am replacing it."
• "It’s less expensive than other brands that hand tool their carbon steel pans and more than lesser quality cs pans."
• "I should have looked more closely but nowhere did I see a warning that this pan would not work on an induction cooktop."
• "I know from experience that you have to replace your non-stick pans every coupla-few years, because they lose their non-stick quality with use."
• "Their coating is NOT durable nor will it last long if ran in the dishwasher."
• "The pan itself has a great feel. Nice weight distribution when you pick it up."
