 Awesome Saute Pan! August 31, 2008
I was looking for a match to some older pans we had, which were T-Fal with the red logo on the bottom. Found out, these are the newer models! This is a great aluminum pan, and the handle bolts on somehow with a big phillips screw. This means no dimples/rivet heads in the pan! Only smooth, coated non-stick surface! I really enjoy the large 12 1/2" size too!
The bottom is a shiny aluminum, with a circular pattern in it. Looks kind of like a vinyl record pattern. The outside walls are grey, and the inside coated with non-stick. Also, the picture here makes it look like a deep pan. I am not sure if they used a different size pan, or the image got squished, but the pan is a lot wider, and the sides are normal height in regards to the traditional saute pan.
I sent for some matching, smaller pans too. They all work great, and match too! I have to admit, I never used aluminum pans before, but they are working out great! I am very happy with this item!
 Not as pictured August 4, 2008
The frying pan is okay but it is not as pictured. There is no red spot in the middle of the pan and the bottom is aluminum, not the easy to clean T-Fal. I probably would not have bought it if I had seen the picture of the actual frying pan.
Worth the little bit you will spend on it July 22, 2008
First, I think expensive non-stick is a waste since the cookware has to be resurfaced or replaced once it's scratched or worn. I was looking for a super slick inner surface for not a lot of buck. The T-Fal pans were it.
The inside of the pans are very slick. They are not heavily textured like other pans. This seems counter-intuitive to me; expensive pans want to last longer so they texture their surface yet that adds more surface area for the food to stick to. As an example, I have a harder time cleaning the bottom of the pans than I do the inside.
The thickness of the pan is thin. It is thick enough to even low and medium flames but it cools very quickly.
My only complaint is the handle. Even as tight as the screw will go, two of my handles still move slightly side-to-side. It's not enough to affect cooking, but it's annoying.
Overall, I'm very happy with spending $17 for a super slick pan.

The pan which is shown in the picture is not the pans which were sent. There was no red spot in the middle of the pan. The handle was different. There are no rivets in the pan in the picture. There are rivets in the pans which were sent. Because the merchandise was not as promised, we will not order through Amazon again.
No ThermoSpot April 25, 2008
I have happily used T-Fal for ages, but the item I was shipped did not match its picture OR description... no red thermospot.
