A premium 5-ply, induction-ready nonstick pan that CNET rated a close second among premium pans. Wirecutter found it tips back toward the handle, and Serious Eats struggled to flip an egg without fat, so it is hard to justify at about $149.
Top complaints
- Expensive for a nonstick pan
CNET says the $149 price kept it out of its top picks. Wirecutter notes it costs over $100, and Serious Eats says pricier models like it didn't have a truly nonstick surface.
- Balance: tilts toward the handle
Wirecutter found the pan tilts back toward the handle and doesn't sit flat, which it calls a safety issue with hot oil and a problem on induction.
