Clad H3 2-pc Stainless Steel Ceramic Nonstick 8-in & 10-in Fry Pan Set

We had a set of these that we purchased a few years ago... maybe 5 or 6 years. Nonstick pans of any time have a limited lifespan, so getting this much time out of them is a good sign. Ceramic is superior, if only because there's little to no risk of weird chemicals flaking off and into our food. Our old pans had finally started losing their nonstick and had a couple of chips in them, so it was time to replace them. We don't use metal utensils in them, and we wait until they've cooled to clean them, so they last a really long time. The chips were caused by stacking them together in the cabinet; I know that's not ideal, but the old ones still held up pretty well. We were happy to replace them with the same make and model, and we expect these to last several years, too.

Received order and found these pans are as promised.Coating hasn't scratched even with careful use of metal utensils.Easy to clean

Love these pans and at a great price they really work well

LOVE Henckels Easy to care for. Very pleased with the performance, the non-stick properties are awesome

Water is the only thing that will not stick to these. I selected poorly on non-stick pans

I bought a set of these pans; a 12 and 8" some years ago and about 2-3 months into use, they began to stick. Mind you, I'm typically using the small pan 4-5 days a a week. Was never cleaned with anything harsher than dish soap and a nylon bristle brush. For the occasional stain, a little baking soda and a soft cloth, yet, they will still stick with use. I still give this pan a 4 star overall rating because of the construction... it is very well made. Unfortunately, once the coating starts sticking, you're going to have to use it much like you do a stainless pan; preheat, oil/butter/etc.. It still isn't as non-stick as a properly prepared stainless pan, but at least it's usable like that. If I had it to do over again, I'd have bought a nice Al-Clad SS pan or a deBuyer steel and avoid the allure of 'non-stick' altogether.

I've used Henckel knives for years and always thought they were of fair quality for their price. Shopping for a new non-stick pan set, I found this one and thought it would be worth a try, although there were some negative reviews about the surface failing. For the first month of use, I was impressed, but soon after, the coating on the larger pan began to flake/wear around the edges, and the main cooking surface gradually lost its "non-stick" quality even though I NEVER used metal cooking tools and NEVER used abrasives to clean the pan. Today, simply frying two eggs for breakfast, it was clear that this larger pan could no longer be described as "non-stick." I may as well use my stainless pan. So just a few months after buying this set back in Oct. 2024, I am tossing it in the recycling. The smaller pan is so far still "OK," but it, too, shows wear/flaking around the edges. Perhaps it will go as well. Regardless, this set is truly a sad disappointment. Note that I rarely review my purchases, so spending my time on this sort of thing is uncommon. Buyer beware.

Very nice pans. I use them almost daily on an induction cooktop. Very good price

Pans are really nice however, they heat up really quickly and if you’re not cooking on low heat, you’ll burn your food.
