TECHEF - Art Pan 12" Wok/Stir-Fry Pan, Coated 5 times with Teflon Select Non-Stick Coating (PFOA Free) - 12 IN

(EDIT: 3 years later, and this pan is still our favorite. After weekly use, it's still holding up just fine -- it almost looks like the day it arrived! Impossible to beat products like this which are well designed and use sturdy, long-lasting materials. We wish everything in life was made even *half* this good. An easy 50-star winner, if we could give that many. Get one or two -- you'll have no regrets! Original review below.)Replacing a favorite, ancient, sturdy wok with today's selection of pans is not easy, which makes successfully filling that simple need a long shot. I'm not prone to raving about cookware, but I'm so happy I fell over this one when doing what seemed like endless research and finding only a parade of seemingly shoddy goods. Frankly, I had no idea how lucky my buying decision for this pan was going to work out: There is no conceivable way I could be any happier with this purchase than I already am. If I could give this pan 20 stars, I'd do it in a flash and never think twice. Specifics? Sure, glad to. First, the pan is heavy-gauge -- sturdy without being an anvil to heft. The coating is a breeze on cooking and on clean-up. (There's even a couple helpful "target" circles in the bottom to help estimate oil additions.) I now use quite a bit less oil and to no detriment or challenge whatever -- a nice bonus. The handle has a good feel to it, neither too mushy and rubbery nor too inflexible in the grip -- just right. A further surprise for me? I had no idea the pan would be such a good looker! (I didn't pick up on the color from the photo in the listing -- my monitor's old.) It comes in a color I imagine might be described as Metallic Plum Haze or some such creation by the marketing gurus. The thing's gorgeous, a real stunner -- and I'm not exaggerating. (Pardon -- I'm not used to raving about cookware!) Having used it for a dozen meals, I'm tempted to get another one, as a hedge on the price, once the manufacturers figure out what a gem they have on their hands and double the price. So, there you have it: Sturdy utility... even heating... super-easy to cook in and clean up after... incredibly good looks... and an astonishingly fine value. Seriously: This is pan perfection. BTW: You're going to want to get the "TeChef - Tempered Glass Lid, 12-Inch" that fits this beauty. It's worth every penny -- wait until you see the small wonder of a help the lid provides, too. (It's "only" a lid, yes -- but one that stands up out of the way, and eliminates the usual lid-juggling act that cooking with minimal counter space makes necessary. Ingenious!) Buy at least one, with that great lid, and settle in for some joy in your cooking!

This pan is awesome! I really didn’t think that it could possibly be as great as it claims to be on its site, but then my aunt bought one, and she absolutely loved it. I still wasn’t convinced, as she can be easily persuaded into just about anything. Then she got one for my cousin, and she kept on about how awesome her TeChef Art Pan was, and that it was not only making cooking easier, but was also making the food healthier for her and her family, and that she could really tell a difference. My cousin is an absolute health nut, so I figured I would give it a try after hearing her rave on and on about it, and I decided to get one for myself. I was still kind of hesitant at first, but I’m so glad I finally gave in and got one for myself!This is the coolest frying pan EVER. Not only is it a unique color that you never see on a pan—purple, but it also has a unique design that really does make it cook evenly throughout the whole pan! I used to get so frustrated when I would burn the middle of a pancake, or eggs, and the outside STILL wouldn’t be finished cooking. But not anymore. The awesome pattern on the frying pan helps me cook better (and now I can cook healthier foods for my family) because it gives me the ability to cook with just the right amount of oil every time I cook. It has a FIVE layer teflon non-stick coatings, but it is completely PFOA free. It’s super easy to clean, and it is kid’s-drumset sturdy! It is one of the best cooking products I have come along in a long time, and I plan on looking into getting more products from TECHEF soon. If all of their products are this amazing, I’ll have to steadily switch over to all TECHEF cookware/cooking products. I can’t wait to try new ways to cook with this thing!I do wish that maybe it came in other colors. If it came in other colors, it would be an even better gift for my family and friends who like to cook, but I still plan on getting several to give to my mom, my sisters, and a few of my friends. I’m super excited about this cooking revolution, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys cooking. Enjoy!

The media could not be loaded. I got it a few days ago only used this wok pan once for the first time and I am giving it five stars right off the bat. The design and features on this pan are excellent. I like that they even put a little design in the middle of the pan showing you the amount of oil to use. This wok pan is attractive and it was very well thought out. the pan has some nice weight to it well-balanced. I love this pan so much I decided to order the 11 inch Fryingpan. The 11 inch Frying pan is also excellent performed well with eggs I even compared it to the other pan I have and it did great. I am in the process of ordering the 8 inch frying pan, 12 inch frying pan, omelette pan and all the lids that go to all the pans.When you know you got something that's built solid, attractive and reliable you go for the rest and I believe the price is set right under $170 for 5 top notch pans and 4 uniquely designed lids. These pans are one of the best pans I have used yet. I have tried a few sets of nonstick pans and none were as solid or work as well as the Techef right out the box. My only complaint is that they don't have pots to go with the pans. Techef can you work on that please.Update 10/29/16:The pan is still performing like new. I did buy the other pans and they are all doing well. If you put it in the oven do not bake over 350deg the metal can handle it but the handle can't.Important note and info:This item does not contain the possible cancer causing PFOA in which the teflon brand had. Dupont no longer uses PFOA in the teflon brand.
