Nonstick Skillet Cookware Granite Coating Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "Got this a while ago. [2'ish years?] It still holds up for me."
• "Had this pan for a while now, scratch resistance is amazing and it still looks like new after literally using it every day."
• "It’s a solid but not too heavy and the non-stick coating is pretty durable and easy to clean."
• "The non stick works and it is easy to clean. Best benefit of all is because it has a heavier thickness and weight it doesn't warp like some of my other non stick pans have."
• "The coating doesn't chip easily. I keep hitting it everywhere and I didn't see a chip yet."
• "Seems very durable...after 9 months it shows no scratching or anything."
• "The pan cooking surface is smooth and the nonstick coating has held-up well for over 6 months now."

Cons:

• "Loved this pan, however less than 4 months later our handle has come loose and the screw was stripped so unable to put back on."
• "This pan was nice for all about 2 weeks. It didn't have initial issues sticking, but now is all but useless."
• "Finish is flecking/peeling off after only 4 months of using exclusively to cook eggs."
• "Bought this for light use duty, pretty much only use it to make eggs a couple of mornings a week. Within a few months of purchase the handle broke in half, as shown in the picture. Not durable."
• "The handle broke after 6 months of fairly light use. I reached out to the company through Amazon and have received no response."
• "Around 7-9 months of daily use the non stick is clearly not working anymore and oil is required or there is sticking."
• "Although I'd rather pay extra for a metal handle than plastic. It started discolouring or burning at the base very early on and looks dirty in consequence."

Cleaning Ease

Pros:

• "Incredibly easy to clean."
• "It cleans like a dream."
• "We just wipe it out instead of washing it as to keep it seasoned."
• "Heats well with great distribution and cleans easily."
• "It is really easy to clean--, (thank you) and I plan to purchase another, larger pan from the same manufacturer."
• "It cleans up well with a sponge and water or a paper towel."
• "Anyways, it took all of 15 seconds to clean afterwards, I ran water on it and the little bit of egg residue washed right off."

Cons:

• "This pan after the 2nd use was sticking and requiring deep scrubbing which will just make the 'non-stick' worse after each use."
• "Every time I cooked scrambled eggs they turned to cement in the pan."
• "It only works for eggs if you use oil or butter in the pan I got this because I heard that these pans would work for eggs are egg whites without oil they don't they stick a lot."
• "The nonstick coating didn't last very long, which surprised me. I always used wooden utensils with the pan, as not to scratch it."
• "Everything sticks and it requires soaking after every use."
• "But heat distribution certainly isn't ideal."
• "No amount of boiling water, soap, scrubbing or solvents will clean this 'nonstick' pan."

Design & Appearance

Pros:

• "This small pan is just right for scrambling a couple of eggs or sauteing a few mushrooms, onions, tomatoes etc."
• "When they arrived I was thrilled with the appearance. They are sleek and very pretty."
• "The smooth wooden handle doesn't get hot."
• "Good solid heat distribution and solid smooth pretty handle!"
• "It is light weight and a very pretty pan also."
• "The granite color is gorgeous, and I just love the wooden handle."
• "They are so lightweight and pretty."

Cons:

• "This thing is not compatible with an induction cooktop."
• "Liked the size of this pan but after using for a little while…. The plastic handle caught fire and gave off a horrible toxic smell while cooking!!!!"
• "The handle isn’t wood but plastic and rapidly discolored."
• "Was much much smaller than l anticipated. Was not pleased because of the cost of a pan that can basically only fry an egg."
• "Please don’t not buy this Pan because is a fraud from manufacture they claim this an is made in Switzerland but when I received my order on the package write Made in China."
• "It was only used 3 times and the part of the handle is already stained underneath the handle, discolored."
• "I also like to throw my pans in the oven for meats and different recipes that require that, this one is not able to do that because of the plastic."

Heat Distribution & Cooking Performance

Pros:

• "Great heat distribution."
• "Heat distributes well."

Cons:

• "This is a great pan when you unwrap it, non stick, trendy, pretty, yada yada but be careful because at high heat it can conduct heat too quickly."
• "You cannot put them on high heat for more than a really short time."
• "The heat distribution is not perfectly even."
• "I have to put the induction stove on maximum heat that usually brings water to a boil in seconds. But with this thing it requires minutes."
• "Not a good pan for omelets."
• "The next time I used it for oatmeal, which needed to low simmer for 15 minutes, the handle caught on fire."
• "Actually caused the hob to error and require restarting every time I tried to use it."

Customer Service & Warranty

Pros:

• "So I reached out to the company, to my surprise, they are sending a new pan free of charge. It was my fault, and still they replaced it."

• "Bought this pan because of the reviews, and really loved it."

Cons:

• "But after the first year of use, the coating has turned to a brown color and has become more sticky, requiring the use of harder plastic tools."
• "However would not recommend because it is not lasting well already losing coating around the top of pan for no good reason."
• "The next big surprise was when I went to return the pan as defective, rather than Amazon providing me with a postage paid label, it said that I must pay the postage for it to go back to Reno, Nevada, USA."
• "This pan has held up beautifully and even under higher heat or if I've left it on the stove a bit too long in preheating shows no warping or other problems."
• "The handle is showing signs of burn and they do not clean as easily as other pans I have used."
• "Not willing to try again and hope something might get better. Hope is 99% failure."
• "The first month the pan was perfect, could make eggs with no oil or even Pam spray, and cleaning it was super easy. The second month, I noticed it wasn't as perfectly non-stick as before."
