"Original" same as Anniversary; GREAT pan!
353176
I ordered the Platinum Original 10-15c Bundt and received the 60th Anniversary pan. I was surprised to see the "Anniversary" embossed in the exterior of the pan when I received it, and the interior non-stick coating has a gold color to it, which is not evident in the pictures. I thought I had received the incorrect pan, but upon closer inspection the model numbers are identical. That information aside, I have used the pan twice and must say it works amazingly better than bundt pans I have used in the past (silicone, budget "formed" bundt pan). The instructions do say to hand wash only and to butter the pan before putting in the batter, which I did. I made rum cake, which I have always had sticking problems with in the past. I popped right out onto the plate!  I look forward to many years of successful baking (hopefully!) with this pan.

I am in love with this pan. My only regret is not buying more of them.

When my mother passed away 28 years ago, I inherited all of her baking pans (most of which were probably purchased shortly after she married back in 1942). I used these pans exclusively for many years, not because they were "good" pans, but mostly for reasons of nostalgia. However, in the past couple of years I realized how limiting those pans were, as they were only 1.5" deep and therefore couldn't be used for many of the recipes I wanted to try.

So, I've been slowly replacing my mom's old pans with new ones from Fat Daddio's. Over the past three years, I've bought seven round cake pans: 2 8X3" pans, 2 6x2' pans, and one each 7 X3", 5 X3" and 3 X3". For me, the 3" depth is the most versatile (you can always make a recipe that calls for a 2' deep pan in a 3" deep pan, but not the reverse!)

All of these pans have performed admirably. I always use "baker's goop" to prep them (equal portions of AP flour, vegetable shortening, and vegetable oil blended together and stored in a jar), along with a round of parchment or wax paper cut to fit the bottom of the pan, and have never experienced any issues with sticking.

Despite the pans being "dishwasher safe," I always hand wash my baking pans. The problem with washing baking pans in the dishwasher is the harshness of automatic dishwashing detergent; over time, causes pitting in the surface of the pan (invisible to the naked eye), as well as discoloration. This pitting can cause baked goods to stick (just like scratches on the surface of the pan). Washing the pans by hand only takes a few seconds (I do it as soon as I release the baked goods from the pan to the cooling rack), and then I place the washed pans upside-down inside the oven (which is still a bit warm) to dry them thoroughly before putting them away.

I haven't thrown away my mother's old pans (I can't. Too many memories).. But I'm happy to have my new Fat Daddio's pans and think they are a great buy - providing excellent quality for a reasonable price. I will continue to purchase them as I replace the other baking pans I inherited from my mother, over time.

All-Clad quality for Amazon price! Exactly what you would expect from an all-clad pan, and it's a legitimate all-clad, no knockoff or anything!

For 10 years I've used my 8 inch All-Clad non-stick fry pan every day and I've loved it. But non-stick coatings eventually wear out even with the best of care and my fry pan had reached the end of its life.

Based on the great reviews of Cuisinart's MultiClad Pro cookware, I purchased their 8 inch non-stick fry pan as a replacement.  I have not been disappointed. The pan is solid and well-made and distributes heat evenly.

A bonus for me was the old lid from the All-Clad pan fits the new Cuisinart pan perfectly!

This is a great pan. I'm just wondering why everyone is paying more for this one when the exact same pan can be found with this ASIN B007XTRHRK at a lower price. Look at the pans, they are the same exact item just different brands. Happens all the time.

This is a great pan! Its nonstick qualities are nearly unrivaled. If it's properly seasoned and cleaned after each use it will last forever and be a constant joy to use. It was delivered in a timely manner, undamaged and at a great price. I highly recommend this pan.

I've been using these pans, of various sizes, since March of 2011. I have a 10" skillet that I use every day to make eggs; it has no scratches or dents, and the coating is still as good as the day I received it. I purposely refrained from writing this review any sooner, because I have used several non-stick  pans whose coating wore out rather rapidly. That has not been my experience with these pans at all.

Almost nothing sticks to it. Every now and then, if I cook the heck out of bacon or a burger, a little bit of something will require a teeny bit of rubbing to loosen it, but that's about it; for the most part, wipe it with a paper towel and it will look like it just came out of the dishwasher. I usually wash it by hand; takes two seconds. I have put it into the dishwasher, and have noticed no ill effects, but I don't know if that would take a toll over time.

I have tried many non-stick non-Teflon pans. (I won't use Teflon except in an "emergency.") This is the first and only one that is worth the moniker "non-stick," that wears well, cleans easily, and seems to have no real vices. The only negative I have found is that the handles sometimes need tightening. (I intend to replace the screw that holds the handle in place with an allen head so I can tighten it down properly. If it works, I will edit this review to include the size screw and where to get it. Hopefully the manufacturer will do it before me.) The other side of that coin is that, because of the way the handle attaches, the inside of the pan is perfectly smooth, with no protruding rivets or screw heads.

MyCuisina is OK as far as delivery and their customer service, but their packaging is, or at least used to be, pretty amateur. Every pan I have received has nonetheless been in fine shape, but I would not be the least bit surprised if the problem the other reviewer experienced is a result of MyCuisina's poor packaging.

In short, if you're looking for a good non-stick pan that is not Teflon, in my opinion, this one, while not perfect, may still be the best one out there.

We love this pan...we also bought the smaller one.  Not disappointed and it will last a very long time.. :)

I already own 2 of the 8" versions of this pan. This one was a gift for my mother. I've had great experience with these pans. It should be noted that, if they start to stick, that they come with cleaning instructions on how to care for this situation.

Let me start off by saying that my main cookware set is the Anolon Titanium set that cost $399 when we got it in 2003. I love these pans because they are heavy-duty, nonstick because of the titanium, and dishwasher safe because of the titanium.  Well, I wanted to add an "everyday" sort of pan to my collection because the Anolon set is VERY heavy and takes up lots of space, so I wanted something a little ligher weight for easier handling, but still large enough to cook for larger dinner parties AND easy to clean. So we looked at 12" pans and skillets and we decided on this one, the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Non-Stick Hard Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Cover.

For what you get in this set...the 12" pan and the covered lid...you cannot beat the price for the quality. For one, it uses a "quantanium" coating for its nonstick base...this is basically a nonstick coating reinforced with titanium, so it can withstand higher temps (oven safe to 500 degrees) and is scratch resistent. I don't use metal utensils anyway, so I can't attest to this...but it has been great so far!

The nonstick is great...makes clean up easy, which is very important to me as free time is very scarce in this household! I haven't thrown the pan into the dishwasher, but the lid gets tossed in and it's been fine. The pan itself cleans so easily that just a soapy nonabrasive sponge is all it takes to get the pan to brand new condition.

The pan also heats up very evenly. I cooked sauteed chicken in the pan and every single piece was evenly cooked. The pieces on the edges of the pan was just as cooked as the ones in the middle of pan. Makes for great cooking when you don't have to fuss about repositioning the food every few minutes for even heat distribution!

I also love the short handles because I always bump into the longer skillet handles when I'm cooking up a storm and I don't bump into this pan. I can also use this on the back burners too because of the short handles. You just can't "toss" your food like you can with a skillet. Use a towel or oven mitt when you touch the handles or the lid because they do get hot...but that's fine with me anyway because I don't like getting hot grease splattered on my hands anyway!

Overall, I am very impressed with this pan, and at a fraction of the price of similar items and nowhere near the cost of my Anolon Titanium set, it's a bargain!

I bought this exact set 12 years ago from a local store and they have served me very well. They get used regularly, but had rules (no metal utensils) and they have lasted because of it. Over the last year or two they started getting put into the dishwasher and finally I've started to notice that while the coating is not chipping or flaking at all, they weren't as non-stick as they were for year 1. I think that is fair and happily bought another set. I was worried when this set said "new version" I still do not know what is new about these because they seem the same so far, but if these two pans last even half as long as the last two pans, I'll consider it a success. Non-stick is one of those things that if you take care of it (no metal touching them and i'm even a little leery of wood AND hand wash, they should last a long time)

Quality and quite nonstick

I bought a "Scanpan Classic 11-Piece Deluxe Cookware Set" in 2007, and they have been great non stick pans, serving me well for nearly a decade.

Even with a lifetime warranty, I can't expect the skillet's nonstick surface to last forever.
My SO doesn't know how to cook on low heat and we abused the heck out of them.
My fry and sautee pan from that series have lost quite a bit of their ceramic coating and were no longer non stick.

So I figured I'd invest in something that I know would last a life time.  A skillet that can't be destroyed, dishwasher safe, etc.
Enter the CSX series.

I picked up the 10.25" fry pan, which is the perfect size for cooking bacon and eggs.

It is super great, beautiful, and has a comfortable handle.  I've had no major problems with sticking (teaching her how to cook with proper heat), and cleaning it is a breeze.
I actually use a "The Ringer Cast Iron Cleaner XL 8x6 Inch Stainless Steel Chainmail" to scrub clean it when needed.

It heats evenly and maintains heat (as evidenced when I pour sink water in it to steam clean it, and it boils for quite some time).

I had also bought a "DeBuyer Mineral B Element Iron Frypan, Round" carbon steel skillet as well, but she must have put it in the dish washer as it's all rusted now.  So I think I'll buy a second CSX fry pan.  These things will last a lifetime with no maintenance needed.

I love this pan.  Perfect size, excellent quality.  Will buy again! I like this kind of quality...well worth the cost.

I've used the Anolon pan with glass lid for more years than you can imagine. (I've even given it as a gift for friends because it is so versatile in the kitchen.) The size - 12" - is generous for cooking food and I love the fact that it is a non-stick pan (good to keep calories and fat down.) The first design worked well, but this new Advanced design (with helper handles and a secure handled lid) is even BETTER than ever, and it's oven safe, too! One note: You do have to practice care with this pan. (NEVER use metal utensils on it, nor non-stick spray, nor excessively high heat - no need for it anyway - because it will tear up the non-stick teflon type surface. (The first one that I enjoyed for over 15 years, looked like it went through the war, but I still used it to its final hour!) It is not a stretch to say I use this saute pan daily. This one will last even longer because I intend on doing my part to take care in its handling. It is the main staple in my kitchen equipment supply! (Would  have given it 5 stars if I wouldn't have to be so careful with the teflon coating.)

I've owned this since December 2017.  I always drop some oil, butter or grease in before cooking and use either wood or plastic utensils and hand wash.  This is the best pan I have.  It still looks brand new with a few marks on the underside of it.  Cleaning is super easy and I've never had a problem with sticking.  I got tired of buying the teflon and other pan types.  They always seem to fail.  This one is a winner and plan to buy more sizes.

I purchased this pan from Amazon in December 2017 and again in March 2018. I also own both the 12 inch and 8 inch versions. These are great pans, well-regarded by Americas Test Kitchen, probably the best non-stick pans out there -- or they were.  The pan I received when I ordered a second 10.25 inch version in March was not the same pan I purchased in December. As I set the two pans side by side on my stove, my immediate thought was, is somebody counterfeiting these? I strongly doubt that, but they weren't the same pan. The difference between the two pans is subtle, but noticeable. They look identical, except that the metal in the new pan is slightly thinner than the December version -- and thinner than both my 8 and 12 inch versions. I also placed both 10.25 inch pans on a scale and the new one was lighter -- by a small amount, but measuring confirmed what I had felt as I held one in each hand.

Sadly, weve seen this pattern all too often with too many products: somebody decides to shave a few pennies off manufacturing costs and a high-quality product that has won accolades is no longer what it was. To be fair: there may another explanation for this discrepancy; if so, Id like to hear it. Im not saying this is a bad pan, though whether it will hold up and cook as well as the previous incarnation, I cant say.  It may still be worth the money and superior to the competition. But its not the same pan I purchased from Amazon three months earlier.
