AVACRAFT 18/10 10 Inch Stainless Steel Frying Pan with Lid, Side Spouts, Induction, Versatile Stainless Steel Skillet

As someone who loves cooking and spends a lot of time in the kitchen, I’m always on the lookout for reliable, high-quality cookware. The AVACRAFT 18/10 Stainless Steel Frying Pan has definitely lived up to my expectations. The 12-inch size is perfect for preparing meals for my family, and I love how evenly it heats up. Whether I’m frying, sautéing, or searing, the stainless steel construction ensures my food cooks perfectly every time.The matte interior has kept the pan looking pristine even after regular use, and the mirror-finish exterior gives it such an elegant look. The ergonomic handle is another great feature—it stays cool while I cook, and the side spouts make pouring liquids so much easier. I can’t get over how easy it is to clean, too, since it’s dishwasher safe.I’ve used this pan on my induction cooktop as well as gas, and it works flawlessly on both. It’s definitely become one of my go-to pans in the kitchen, and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking and wants reliable, durable cookware.

I purchased the stainless steel (SS) frying pan and the 1.5 quart SS saucepan . This is my first SS cookware. I have been hearing for a long, long time the possible health effects of cooking using Teflon, ceramic, and non-stick “stone” cookware so I decided to give SS a chance. I then tossed away my old cookware.I like the new pan and the saucepan. They look elegant. I like the external mirror finish. I think the spouts on the rim are a great idea because you eliminate the mess when pouring stuff out of them. They heat up faster than I am used to, so I am being careful not letting anything to burn. The food making direct contact with the pan’s surface while cooking tends to stick.The very first time I tried to fry an egg without oil to see how it behaved. When I scooped it, a good amount was left on the pan. However, I filled the pan with water, let it sit for a while, and then scrubbed the egg away with a soft sponge/scrubber with soap. It can be easily cleaned. The next time I fried another egg I used Pam and it did the trick. I have read that SS cookware can be “cured” to make it non-stick, but I will check on that later.Lids are elegant and practical. The glass allows you to see inside the pan and the insulated handle never gets hot. I like the saucepan’s lid because it has a strainer. That was clever. I could also toss away my plastic strainer.By the way, the pan’s and saucepan’s all-metal handle does not get hot at all. Also, although the SS may be resistant to scratches, I bought a set of silicone utensils to avoid scratching the surfaces.All in all, I think that this is an excellent and affordable choice. I would dare to say that food tastes even better. For the price, you are getting a great product. Of course, I still need to see how they perform in the long run.

Love this little 8" stainless steel frying pan with glass lid! Purchased a 10" SS frying pan with glass lid also several months ago. Love them both. Avacraft makes good products. Lightweight yet sturdy; love the pour spouts on either side. Easy for me to pick up with one hand. Handle stays cool as long as not directly over heating element which it shouldn't be anyway! Shiny on the outside, easy to clean interior.Searing the outside of meat is always going to leave residue in pans. To clean either boil a little water in pan to deglaze pan (or better yet, put some vegetables in there with a little liquid and cook to absorb the flavors, unless burned or lots of oil) Or fill with hot soapy water and soak in sink for about 1/2 hour, scrape out debris with plastic spatula, then clean with non-scratch sponge. Use some Bon Ami cleansing powder (NOT Ajax!) with sponge to keep stainless steel as shiny as possible. Use Bon Ami also to keep stainless steel kitchen sink shiny, by the way.Cooking with stainless steel pots and pans requires some type of oil and only cook on medium-high to low heat, never high heat like I read Teflon users did. I don't use Teflon or non-stick anything so don't know why high heat.

I have been looking forever for a 12 inch pan that fits my largest glass cooktop burner, that also has high enough sides to keep grease from splattering outside the pan. This pan is exactly what I wanted. It fits the burner perfectly. Grease does not splatter on the stove. It is heavy-duty without being heavy. It has pour spouts on both sides of the pan and a steam hole in the lid that keeps the lid from rattling and spewing water all over the stove. Handle stays cool and is thicker towards the end so it is easy to hold and lift. I did not season it before my first use, but I let the pan heat up dry, then added the oil, waited until the oil shimmered and then added the food. Cooked perfectly AND NO STICKING OR BURNING OF FOOD. However, I kept the burner at 4 out of 10 the whole time. I have other stainless/aluminum cookware and I have learned to keep the heat at low-medium. The food will still cook quickly at these settings because of the superior heat retention of the aluminum core. I am so pleased with this pan!!

Love love loveI have been using this frying pan for quite some time and can’t be more happier. I think I owe a review. I have used other pans before but this one is well designed looking at minor things like usability and ease of use. The quality is definitely much higher, it cooks even without any one side getting more or less heated which helps a lot. I’ve used it for cooking multiple dishes. Love the handle, it’s not thinner which is actually a problem when you hold. This one gives very nice grip and doesn’t get heated. Spouts are very unique as helpful, helps me make the dishes with little juice.The cleaning is easier, I love using stainless steel pans. Never faced any issues & I always clean them after cooking which keeps them neat and tidy. I don’t understand why people keep complaining about food burning and not able to clean etc, these people need ‘cooking in stainless steel for dummies’ ;)Enjoying the pan, will buy more from this company. Love that it’s woman owned startup !
