you will not get a better sear on a steak. its an inch larger than what it says, this 11" is closer to a 12" pan. its not clear in the specs but it has an aluminum core steal plate bottom, so it has 3mm of steal above and below the 4mm aluminum core for 10mm total, it can also be used as armor plate in a pinch during an attack. several can be hung from your body using kitchen twine. make sure to cover your vital organs and you should make it out alive

The product is good. However, I can't understand who the idiot was that stuck a sticky paper sticker on the fan. I wasted my time to get rid of it. I hope this issue will be resolved in the future.

I would like to give this skillet a better review but have had MAJOR issues with sticker/label that is glued to the ENTIRE 16" inside cooking surface of the pan. The label is glued down with what I would compare to Gorilla Glue and multiple attempts and methods (recommended by Webstaurant Customer Service and Google) to remove it have been unsuccessful. I'm not sure why they would not apply the label with an easy peel adhesive instead of whatever this mess is. I do give your customer service team high marks, as they have attempted to help and even sent a replacement skillet, but we have the same issue with it. If we ever get it cleaned up enough to use, it feels like it will be a quality pan, but...

This is a nice durable stainless steel fry pan with a heavy aluminum core. The handle is hollow, and welded on the pan which makes for a smooth interior of the pan.

I love to cook, so I have brought several name brand frying pans from TJ Mxx, and Ross, and have been very disappointment in my purchase. Finally, I order the Vigor 12" Stainless Steel Aluminum-lad Fry Pan with Helper Handle, and I am very satisfied. My search is over, and I will recommend this item to my daughter and friends.

The first couple days I loved this pan. Then it started sticked alot and even though I still think it's a great pan it's not what's expected. And it scratches easily like a coated pan.

Thank you for your review, Ashley! We would like to gather more information about your experience with this pan. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon.

Just got a 16” pan for use at home, the larger size is just what we wanted and couldn’t find anywhere else. Although it barely fits in our sink, it will get lots of use evenly cooking everything from brussel sprouts to pancakes. Thank You!

I love this 12" stainless steel fry pan with aluminum-clad bottom and helper handle. I love that it cooks evenly, it is a nice size, and is very easy to clean. My main reason for buying was to get away from non-stick coated pans that have unhealthy properties so I've gone to cooking with SS only. This pan meets my needs and I am very happy with this purchase.

Need a serious upgrade? Go for this pan then. Got this when my nonstick was starting to fall apart and you can beat the price. It's a little more effort to maintain but it will last a super long time if you do it right.

Very satisfied with service and reasonable prices. Stainless steel is different from other cooking surfaces and requires special care. When properly seasoned and used, it will never warp, stain or discolor whether you spend a small or large amount and will always be easy to clean when it’s deglazed while cooking and then given a simple rinse.

I bought this pan after seeing it used in several videos. After only one use, I really like the pan. I made Chicken Picatta last night and everything was perfect. However, it took about 30 minutes to remove the large label that was glued to the interior of the pan. Perhaps a less industrial adhesive would be better.

I'm terribly disappointed in this pan. Food sticks to this pan worse than any pan I've ever used. The edge of the pan is sharp enough to cut. The welded connection seems flimsy. The worst part is how bad it sticks. Please don't attach any comments about contacting customer service. Your pan sucks.

We're sorry to hear you didn't like this pan. Stainless steel pans are great for searing, but can become challenging to use when cooking with more delicate foods. Unless properly used and cared for this will happen to the best of brands. When using stainless steel fry pans, we recommend to pre-heat your pan before adding oil to make sure it is hot before cooking. Also avoid putting cold food directly in the pan to diminish the difference in heat. After use, properly clean your pan by allowing it to cool and using soap and warm water. Some chefs even go as far as to preseason their stainless steel pans before use, but this is a personal preference. If you are looking for an option with less maintenance, we suggest trying this Vigor 11" stainless steel non-stick fry pan instead.

It has been a pleasure doing business with your company. i am very happy with the easy clean up of this pan. i also bought 8" pan great for making eggs and flipping and slides out of pan. Nice to finally buy a pan that does not stick making eggs, that is all i have done with pan so far. I love both pans. Thank you.

I LOVE this stainless steel frying pan! I have always wanted one but didn't want to spend a lot of money on one. I've used this now for making a quick pasta sauce out of fresh cherry tomatoes and tossing the pasta directly in the pan, sauteeing mushrooms, and quick stir fries. The pan was easy to clean each time, and there was minimal sticking on the pan. I'm so happy to have a stainless steel pan to work with now. The pan is extremely heavy weight and feels very durable. I can tell it will last me a long time.

Out of the box, I'm impressed with the quality of this pan by Vigor. The welding is very nicely done and the handle fits really nicely in the hand. I'd buy again in a heartbeat!
