Do these pans stay level on the bottom? I have had fry pans in the past and they all raise in the middle creating a terrible hot spot (Except cast iron).

These pans have a bottom that is thicker than the sides and have concentric circles machined into the bottom, which I assume is to help prevent heat buckling. That said, the largest pan will bulge slightly when stir frying on the highest heat setting for several minutes. The bulge disappears as soon as a little liquid starts bubbling out of the mushrooms, chicken, etc. My largest cast iron pan bulges more.The smaller pans have never bulged, when frying eggs, making a rue etc., but I have not stir fried in them.Wife and I cook on a glass top, radiant stove.

I have had no problems with the pan not staying level. The bottom is quite thick.

We've been using these (a LOT) for the past 5 months and they cook like a charm. No problems with the coating or the shape and it cooks everything evenly.

Hi Vicki, I've had these pans for 5 months and I could not be happier. I use them frequently, probably twice a day on the little one, and I have used them on the full range of heats. I have seen no raises, spots, or stains on any of them so far. They are really beautiful pans.

I have had them for 4 months and have not had that happen. They have been awesome so far

Fairly well, but not perfectly. They do become slightly stuck. Trust me it's well worth it. I use these pans weekly and they are great!

The bottom is relatively flat. We have several that we use on a ceramic cooktop and they work just fine. Because the bottom is very smooth unlike cast iron, you can move it around a bit on the ceramic top without scratching. We also use our cast iron but you need to be very careful moving that around. Give one pan a try see how you like it. I'm sure after a while it will be your go to pan.

I have had no problem with that and warping on the bottom This couldn't happen to a cheaper pans if you tend to have them hot and then put them in Coldwater the outside world shrink and make the bottom work out I have have not had any problems with Farberware

I have used the saucepans on high heat with no problem. I rarely use a fry pan on high heat so I can't answer. We are very happy with the set. Heats evenly and cleans up nicely. I recommend them.

We own a whole set of these. Never had that problem as long as you don't grab the handle too close to the base(pan)

No, but that's how I like them. Non-stick always seems to cause over and uneven cooking in my experience.

1. anybody use these silpcone rings in an iron skillet/ fry pan? do eggs stick?2. plus on an induction burner?

No, I can find no difference in heat and the pan seems totally level. Did your last pan slowly develop a high center, or was it there from the beginning? So far, the T-Fal pan is fine. Perhaps after years of use, a pan might warp. Time will tell, but I doubt this will happen.

We have a "glass top" stove and these pans sit flat when cold and stay flat up thru normal cooking temperatures. We have had the skillet a little over a year.

I see what you are saying.I ordered these but I have not gotten them yet.I am assuming that these do NOT have a bottom.Alton Brown uses empty tuna fish cans and flips them when one side is done.I was unable to remove the bottom of a tuna fish can with the can opener that I have.I am going to be upset if these do have a bottom.By the way, Alton Brown used an electric griddle NOT a skillet.You need to be able to set the temperature to a know heat level

It isn't supposed to stick, and mine never have. I have a Nonstick Frypan and a small pot. They work perfectly.

I had not had that problem. I use this pan for baking cornbread and cakes and they do brown on the bottom. Also the sides are vertical not slanted as so many pans are these days. Hope this helps.

The pans just have AIRBAKE on them, but from what I remember they were Tfal. I must confess I haven't used them yet as I am saving them for Hot Cross Bun season-the only thing I will use them for, as they don't over brown the bottoms. .at least my old ones didin't. Guess I should check them out!! Hope this helps.

These are great heavy duty pans - I have never had a Cuisinart pan warp on me. The heavy bottom keeps it level and distributes heat evenly. I have a gas stove so I cannot speak to electric burners.

No problems with the pots. I don't use the frying pans though because everything sticks to them.

I've used all four pans, and I have not experienced any issues. I really like the fact that the heat is evenly distributed in the pans. What is the trouble you are having specifically?
