do i need to reduce the cooking time when using this pan?

No, I did not reduce the baking time. In fact, I increased the cooking time a bit. It may just be my oven.

hi Joan,No adjustment was needed for my oven. But I always set my timer for shorter time and check doneness with a toothpick when I bake.

I would check it about 10 min. before. I don't bake by time, more by smell and then checking. But because the pan is dark it'll help to check it a little early. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, brownies are especially 'sensitive' to the heat transferred by the insert so check them at least five minutes before you expect them to be ready. Even a cake mix cooks more quickly but comes out beautifully!

I think this depends on how much oil you use and what you are cooking and if the oil splatters outside the pan onto the hot burner because this pan has very low sides. There can be some smoke and it can get a little messy.

not at all! That's one of the things I love about these pans.......have a whole set & use them every day. And, clean up is super easy.......just use lower heat than you're used to.

Very. I find I have to cook low and slow. Without a not stick coating it heats up so quickly food will burn. So low and slow is the way to go.

yes, when I made it I used a regular baking pan with no problems. I used cooking spray just to be safe on the pan, though.

what i have noticed is that if the pan is not flat the heating time will take longer. i too have one pan that is a little bow in it and it takes a very long time to heat because there is not as much surface area in contact with the magnet

I've found that to brown things it is a good idea to preheat the pan (with lid on) before putting the food in. I usually give 2 minutes on high before doing chicken breasts, fish, or hotdogs/sausages. Otherwise the food is overcooked before it browns.

Not really. If I were to divide the griddle into thirds, the middle third did not cook as quickly as the outer two thirds. I usually try not to cook too much in the middle. Overall, I still like this griddle and would buy it again.

Yes, and my wife has actually done just that to confirm. She says the handle gets a little warm so wear a mit! She also wanted me to mention that she LOVES the pans after trying many different non-sticks.

I have a 10" pan. If anything gets baked on I just soak it a little. It takes very very little to get anything off.

Yes, but however many minutes you cooked with before, you might need to cut back the time accordingly.

I have not done that but I'm sure you could. The only issue I can think of with that is you might have to adjust your cooking time a little bit depending on how much you use.

just leave it in a little longer. It usually cooks pretty evenly, which is one of the advantages.

Yes. I love this pan, use it most days; some features I did not know until I used it

There may be some sticking, but I also (as other reviewers mentioned) only use a small amount of oil in the bottom of the pan, thus keeping it to a minimum. Additionally, I don't have to use very high heat for braising, compared to other brands of cookware that I own. Very efficient and even heat distribution. GJM

No just be sure to heat the pan slowly don't put it on a high flame to heat empty.

Watch your heat, because the pan does heat up fast & may need turned down as you go to prevent burning pancakes. I heat pan on medium, then reduce to low-medium to cook pancakes, otherwise they'll burn & not get done in center (can lift/check them for doneness on top & bottom).
