Tramontina Signature 12-Inch Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Mirror Polished Large Fry Pan, Induction Ready, Oven-Safe

I like the quality of this pan. The ten inch size is just right for me. I have only two complaints. First, it is a little hard to pour cooked food from the pan into a bowl, partly because of the weight of the pan and partly because of the shape of the handle. (I have weak hands, so many others might not have these problems. I just scoop the food out with a spatula or a large spoon.) Second, the area around the attachment of the handle, inside and out, is a little difficult to keep polished, even using Barkeepers Friend and plenty of elbow grease. This, however, is more cosmetic than anything else. Apart from these minor problems, I find the pan heats up quickly and evenly on my gas stove. I have enjoyed cooking a number of dishes in it. Except for the areas around the handle attachment, it cleans up very nicely, and continues to look almost like new. It is an attractive piece of cookware, as well as being a useful addition to my kitchen.

I’ve been buying Tramontina stainless steel pots and pans since before Covid-times. While they’re no longer quite as cheap as before, they’re still way more affordable than other so-called “name” brands. The tri-ply construction heats up quickly and retains heat, sometimes a little too well (I still can’t cook a perfect over easy egg on stainless steel). As long as you know how to properly heat and oil stainless steel properly, it’s just as easy to clean as non-stick but without the fear of peeling bits of Teflon off the pan.
