Granitestone14” Extra Large Frying Pan Skillet Cookware Set, Family, Black

I have used this pan regularly (not quite daily) for the last 2 years and am still happy with this purchase. The pan is huge, so we can cook a lot of food at once; pretty lightweight for it's size which I appreciate for ease of cleaning; it remains non-stick even though I do use oil in it; it still looks almost new. The key with non-stick pans is to not use more than a medium heat setting (we have a gas cooktop) and make sure the pan is sufficiently cooled before putting water in it to wash it. Yes, I do have some warping in the center, so the oil retreats to the edges, but it's to be expected with an inexpensive pan, and I just tilt the pan to distribute the oil. I would recommend this product!

Love the size. Bigger than I thought. Easy to clean and cooks great. Cook all my big meals on here.

Omg LOVE this pan!!!!! I bought this to be able to make large batches of homemade dog food. This biggie holds 3 lbs of ground turkey, 6 large sweet potatoes, 2 bags frozen broccoli and 7 large carrots.

Pan warped on the bottom a slight bit. Just enough to make the bottom of the pan dryer in the middle and puddling around the outside edges. Had it on #6 of 10 on electric stove. I thought I wanted one this size, but pretty much makes even heat distribution impossible and my stove has the older burner style that is a lot thicker and wider than the newer cheapo’s. That said, I’d buy a 12 and keep the temp down more than I did. Maybe on #3 or 4. Also wish I’d have bought the one with the lid. Luckily I had one big enough. Finish is good, it’s not like Teflon but it’s easy to clean. It’s not supposed to scratch but I don’t ever use metal utensils in it .

This is way better than any non-stick pan I have ever used, far better than teflon, those copper pans, stainless when used right, cast iron when used right (I even ordered the Misen pan and it doesn't touch this) - it cleans up super easy. It isn't as no-stick as the eggs effortlessly sliding around, but close.Mine bowed - I have a 14" pan and an electric stove - physics are still real. This is aluminum and that material expands and contracts as it heats and cools. With the stove not heating all of it, thats what happens. It still heats really well and does move the heat well, but that made the bottom bow a bit. Seriously, it still works perfect. and what 30$ for a 14" pan? I can barely even find a pan that big, let alone for 30$, let alone better than even the best I have had.This is the go to MPV in the kitchen. We beat the hell out of it, cut food in the pan, metal tongs, metal flipper, scrap with spoons and forks - it doesn't matter. This honeybadger just handles business. We use less oil now, which is night, and have better results.It's so big it doesn't really fit in the cupboard, and when you have a big pot on the stove things get crazy. I might also pick up an 11" or something.

Had some older non-stick pans start to leach the surface material, so looked around for some replacements. Came across these Granite Stone pans and gave them a try. They have been great to use over this past year. They cook nicely and still wipe up clean like they were brand new. Regarding the 14" pan, I marked the heat distribution down a star. Most of that is that this is such a large pan, it's much wider than the largest stove top burner. These are not cast iron, so you can't expect to keep pumping heat into them to reach the edges. But it's mostly used for stewing or braising with the lid on, so getting the outside edge to highest temp isn't really an issue. Everything get some amount of stirring to eliminate any cooler spot issues.Like the helper handle, especially on a large pan like this. Helps both on the stove top and when moving it in and out of the oven.

I've only given this item one star, despite giving it two and three respectively for light weight and ease of cleaning. That's because for me the most important aspect is how well you can cook with it. This skillet's problems include the following:1. Bottom isn't flat. It's slightly domed in the center. This means anything that you're frying that has any liquid element runs to the sides of the skillet, leaving the domed area uncovered.2. Surface doesn't heat evenly. Very surprising for an all aluminum skillet. Makes cooking items precisely difficult and demanding, particularly since the bottom isn't entirely flat meaning different items have differing degrees of contact with the surface. This requires that you constantly check each item to see how it's frying.3. Skillet responds oddly to the application of heat source. Combined with the uneven heating of the surface it makes frying trying. Again, very odd for an all aluminum skillet which usually responds very quickly and precisely to heat adjustments. This will go instantly from nothing happening for a while, to scorching.Bottom line: It's a poor skillet if you really hope to cook well with it. It's cheap, cleans easily, but is poorly designed for other than eye-appeal.

Exactly as advertised.
