Utopia Kitchen 11" Nonstick Skillet - Perfect for Deep Frying and Sauteing

Tracey Weiss: I love using this pan for things that tend to splatter because the deep sides are good at controlling that. the non-stick works very well. It's much bigger than I expected though and is a bit difficult to get under my faucet in my dual sink. It also had a problem when I was trying to cook something on the highest temp for 20 minutes on my induction cooktop. The pan never reached the temperature I needed and actually smelled a bit like it was starting to burn after awhile. But, for things like ham steaks, pancakes, fried veggies, etc. it works very well.

DewyLikeADonut: I'm vegan and gluten free and currently living through a kitchen remodel (nightmare) and this pan, my hot plate and my microwave are my only saving grace. I LOVE THIS PAN. It's SO easy to clean (in my bathroom sink). I just dump a little water in and make quinoa, then stir fry some veggies and dump it all in together and when I'm extra lazy I eat it out of the pot, stick the lid back on, put it in the fridge and eat the leftovers the next night out of the pan.

It looks really expensive. I'm very happy with it.

Miss Ruth: This is a good quality pan that is non-stick as claimed and is easy to clean. It's decently priced, and has held up well in the months we've had it. There's just one important proviso. It has a regular long handle on one side and a short "grip" handle on the other side. The long handle stays cool to the touch during cooking; however, the "grip" handle gets hot. As in, too hot to handle. It makes you drop it instantly so you don't get burned, which isn't good in a pan. It would be better not to have that handle there, as you're lulled into thinking you can pick it up when it's hot, but you have to put on an oven mitt to do it. I think the manufacturer should heat-proof that handle on the other side, and then this would be a five star pan.

One other note re: non-heat-proof sections of the pan - the lid has a knob-shaped black handle, and that part is heat-proof; however, the circular black piece that attaches the knob to the glass of the lid is not. When I picked up the lid while cooking, the bacon in the pan started to pop, so I held up the lid as a shield. When I did, the circular black piece was so hot, I nearly dropped the lid. The pan and lid are...

B: I love this pan, it doesn't need any oil or spray it is non stick completely. I saw comments about it being bowed in the center but its not. It WILL bow in the middle if you put cold water in a hot pan, let it cool before wiping clean. I even did the cheese test and it wiped off easily, everything cooks fast and on a lower heat. I feel high heat was too hot and everything cooked better on medium heat. I would definately reccommend this pan for anyone who likes quality cookware and wants a true non-stick pan without paying aa fortune

Gudwif: Love, Love, LOVE this large skillet from Utopia Kitchen! It is a quality piece to grace our kitchen and I use it at least once a day. It is truly non-stick and only takes a wipe with a soapy dishcloth and a quick rinse to be good as new. It's large enough to make most meals for our family of 6 (unless I make a BIG pot of soup!) AND it goes in the oven up to 400°
If you do not have wood, nylon or silicone utensils, now is the time to invest. They are inexpensive, you can find them almost anywhere, and this skillet will last forever if you use a little care. I threw out our old skillet that this one replaces.
One caveat: the lid is glass and the knob is a screw-on. It comes loose with use, so check it each time you wash it. You do not want to have to replace it.
For the money, this is undoubtedly the best!
