Winware , 10 Inch, Aluminum

I use this pan at least twice a day. So far it’s great no problem with eggs sticking. Deep enough for cooking veggies and meat. I don’t have a problem with the handle getting hot and it heats evenly. I am using a gas stove.

I love these restaurant quality pans. I am gradually replacing older cookware. I've purchased all sizes and giving as gifts. Wash these by hand and use silicone utensils and they will last long time.

Wonderful chef style pan with silicone handle cover

Perfect! Nice and heavy

Overall like the size of the 12” Winco over the two 10” previously purchased but the 12” either came warp upwards in the center or warped during first use. Both 10” versions are still perfect pans, one bought a month ago and one bought two months ago. Also the pan had a gouge on the rim deep enough to show aluminum. The damage appeared to have happened before shipping but won’t affect cooking. The box it was shipped in was not dented and the pan was padded adequately. For those reasons I deducted a star and decided not to return and use as is with the warp. As for the pan my stove is gas so the warp actually helps drain the liquids and fats from under a piece of meat aiding in browning rather than steaming it. With an electric stove or induction the warp might affect the heating. I was going to dedicate the pan to making a super large family size omelet but I’ll continuing making them in my dedicated 10” Winco pan. Maybe the next 12” I order will be better. If not that one will get returned. The reason buying more than one Winco Excalibur non-stick pan is the quality of the non-stick coating. From the Winco website, “Excalibur® non-stick finish bonds to the aluminum for a long lasting, scratch-resistant finish.” From the Whitford website, the coating supplier, “ Excalibur® is the hardest and most durable non-stick coating in the market as it is reinforced on the exterior with a stainless steel alloy. Above all, it is used in gourmet kitchenware in all parts of the world.” Time will tell if this is true, the durability part, but I have high confidence from a few non-Amazon reviews I read that were from longer term users of the Excalibur coating.

Basic type frying 10 “ pan your every day use not very vibrant but looks normal to my my eye ‘

I've cooked eggs in this every single morning since I got it June 8th. I don't use any butter or oil when I cook eggs, relying on the fat in the yolks, I've had zero issues with anything sticking to it. I've had one pan that lasted past two months and it was an 80 dollar chefs model. For the price, this can't be beat.

Handle is BLUE, NOT RED (minus one star), but it hangs straight down on a hook, as it should. (Handle has a slight gap at one side of the rivets but seems solid.) The flat bottom part goes almost out the edge, with a fairly smooth turn to the side, so it works for large grilled cheese slices, and the pan is stable on the gas burner. It is VERY SLICK! LOL The first crêpe that I flipped literally flew out of the pan. Nice hefty pan, heat pattern on high gas burner is completely even. 10" diameter is a very useful size.
