CAROTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet,Non Stick Granite Fry Pan Egg Pan Omelet Pans, Stone Cookware Chef's Pan, PFOA Free,Induction Compatible(Classic Granite, 8-Inch)

I ordered two of these pans, one 8” and one 10”. They come needing the handle screwed into the pan body. A perfect fit screwdriver and two screws are included. It’s easy. Don’t panic. So far, I am loving these pans. Definitely nonstick, and clean up easily. Heat evenly. Any food remaining I just wipe off with a paper towel before washing. I’m going to order the 12” now. I definitely recommend these pans. The price is right! They are substantial and sturdy fry pans. We use them for every kind of stovetop cooking.

Nothing sticks, even without oil. Beautiful fake wood handles. Overall, a great pan at a very reasonable price

Nothing sticks. Cleans easily. Seems durable. Handle is very comfortable. If I were to buy again, I would buy a lighter color, just to be able to see the food better,

I use this pan a lot and has held up very well so far. It’s non stick finish gives me the result I want when I am cooking scrambled eggs and omelettes—not all “non stick” pans, whatever the price, do this. If you are using the recommended cooking temperature there is no hot spot. I am super careful to only use bamboo or silicon utensils, so no scratches. It is an attractive pan that is showing minimal discoloration. It is a nice weight—not too light or too heavy. I highly recommend this pan, but I will revisit this review at about one year.

It appears the lid shown on the website with the two pans is not included. I find that at best "misleading". The pans themselves are fine; they do what I wanted them for, such as frying eggs and other egg products, pancakes, and the like. They have a good weight without being heavy and clean up very fast. They are heavy enough without being obsessive. I admit I was expecting one lid, at least, but I am sure I can find one in my collection. I hope the cookie sheets from the same company are comparable in quality but it takes a wile to receive them. VjM

This pan functions perfectly and is a total bargain at the current price. It's a good light weight, feels substantial in hand, and the thick, wood-look composite handle looks and feels good, and doesn't heat up enough to take your skin off like a metal handle does. The nonstick surface is 100 percent stick-free right out of the box. It cleans up in a few seconds with a light rinse and dry. This pan replaces a brand new, supposedly nonstick 8-inch skillet purchased on Amazon from a very well-known maker which cost 3.5 TIMES AS MUCH! Every time I cooked with it failed - food got stuck on the bottom bad. So after 2 weeks I put it in the trash. Then I hunted for a replacement and got lucky trying this brand. So far, it works so well I think I couldn't have bought a better skillet for the money. If used a lot, all these nonsticks lose the nonstick after a couple/few years. I use this size skillet 3, 4, 5 times a week breakfast lunch and dinner. So having one that works well like this one does makes my life easier. I'm already pretty loaded up on kitchen stuff, but if I weren't, I definitely would try other cookware offered by CAROTE.

Love this little pan. Food slides around like it's on skates. Pan is a good weight & heats evenly. A real breeze to clean. Will be ordering a larger one, too.

First things first: For 16 yrs I was housewares manager @ Bed Bath & Beyond store #38 in San Fran. It was a huge store & had two floors. BBB spent a ton of money sending me to different manufacturers facilities to actually learn every aspect of design, functionality and above all care of great cookware like Calphalon, Meyer and yes the big dog All Clad so I consider myself an expert on what makes a great pan. Carote pans make you remember why you love to cook. If you don’t, it comes to the rescue every time by making short work of all tasks undertaken. I purchased both 8 & 10” pans in August. It took me no time to realize I hadn’t used my All Clad, Calphalon & Cooks Standard 8 & 10” pans. (these are excellent pans but as I’ve gotten older it’s sometimes difficult to manipulate these heavier pans once laden with food). I decided to add 12” pan but wanted to wait for Black Friday deals. Experience: Cooking: heats up nicely & cooks evenly with little oil. Importance: When a pan heats up quickly, it could be good or bad. If it isn’t well made, it will in no time at all get hot spots (more on that below under “care”). If it heats evenly, there’s less likelihood of sticking or uneven levels of doneness. Heat Distribution; When manufacturers talk about heat distribution, part of the consideration for the cook time is factored into the design . Until Carote, I ALWAYS followed the best practices of purchasing pots/pans that had a copper core. Why? Copper is widely considered the best conductor of heat which remains consistent thereby optimizing the goals of the cook and energy efficiency not to mention saving time. Somehow the geniuses at Carote managed to provide all the attributes of a $300.00 pan in these awesome pans that are now my go-to. Care: Please, please don’t be fooled by putting your pans in the dishwasher. Yes, the manufacturer says they are dishwasher safe but… each time they go into the dishwasher the coating is absolutely compromised. Over time I promise you’ll regret it. It’s sort of like manufacturers of “microwave safe” containers attempting to assure the sale by printing microwave safe on the packaging. Sure, you can do it but the manufacturer promise of safety isn’t backed by some 3rd party that’s licensed to be a consumer watch dog. Question: What kind of cook puts a “non stick” pan in a dishwasher? Just wipe it out and it’s ready for use right? Tip: never EVER put cold water in a hot pan. This is the #1 mistake of cooks everywhere. Why? A: Cold water shocks the pan in a way that disrupts the molecules and the pan will never in a million years be the same. B: Putting cold water in a hot pan can cause it to warp or cause the dreaded hot spots we all detest. Tip: Please don’t use metal as it will scrap even the best non stick pan. Why? Over time the metal damages the coating which is there to protect the surface of the cookware. (If you insist on using metal utensils, you’ll be better off purchasing aluminum pans.) Plastic? Don’t do it… it’s just as bad or worse than metal because plastic can become brittle over time and chip into the food but does negatively impact inner surface of pan. Wooden utensils? Absolutely but! Never buy wooden utensils that are not bamboo. Why? Wooden utensils can swell and split. It’s weird how many people spend money on great cookware which gets ruined by substandard utensils. Those splinters will be consumed when eating but bamboo? It cost more but you’ll never have to replace bamboo. I’ve got utensils I’ve used since my kids were in pre school and they are now 31 & 35. Selection: Be sure it’s not a “bamboo blend” or some other type of play on words. Your pots/pans are an investment and if taken care of will last a lifetime. Finally, it’s just as important to keep exterior of your pans clean. Food build up from cooked on spills interfere with heat distribution. Always try to hang your pots (if you don’t have a hanging pot, try hanging them on the wall instead of putting things on the wall to decorate the kitchen). Why? This creates a functional cooking space & prevents internal scratching of cookware plus, has each utensil within reach. I would 100% recommend these pans for yourself or a great gift.

Best frying pan I have ever purchased. My first one lasted for 7 years before the inside started to stick. Any other pan that I have used in the past only lasted a maximum of 3 years.

Semble un bon produit. Helas fabriqué en Chine.

J’utilise cette poêle depuis un mois maintenant et j’en suis vraiment satisfait. La prise en main est confortable et la cuisson est homogène. Les aliments n’accrochent pas, ce qui rend la cuisine plus simple et le nettoyage rapide. Pour l’instant, rien à signaler côté usure ou revêtement : Bon rapport qualité prix

The CAROTE Non-Stick Frying Pan 20cm has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools! This frying pan is not only beautifully designed with a sleek granite finish, but it also performs incredibly well. The non-stick surface ensures that food slides off easily, making it perfect for cooking eggs, omelets, or delicate foods like fish. I love how easy it is to clean - just a quick wipe, and it’s good to go. The induction hob compatibility is a huge bonus for me, as it works flawlessly on my induction stove. The heat distribution is even, and I don’t experience any hot spots, so my food cooks perfectly every time. The stone cookware material is durable and holds up well over time, without any signs of wear or chipping. This 20cm size is ideal for small meals, and it’s just the right size for everyday cooking. If you’re looking for a high-quality, reliable, and easy-to-clean frying pan, I highly recommend the CAROTE Non-Stick Frying Pan. It’s a great value and an essential addition to any kitchen!

Me encantó el color!! además de que el material super resistente, no se le pega nada y no es toxico como el teflón. sin duda voy a comprar el resto de esta misma linea!
