I have this series, and also the ones recommended by Americas Test Kitchen. this one is better by far. It is heavy and has strong and even heating. It has a flat bottom (as opposed to the ATK one), and also the silicone handle is removable so it is OK in the oven. I have tried many many nonstick pans, this one is very nonstick, and is also better than my All Clad nonstick pans (and WAY cheaper). But this series.

This is a great heavy duty cook pan for suaces and frying that should stand up to most uses. It arrived quickly and was well packaged. A bit pricey but worth it if you cook good sized dishes.Best Deals for Download Tramontina Professional Restaurant Fry Pans
This is a good non-stick pan. The size is perfect for making two grilled cheese sandwiches, or sauteing a bunch of veggies, or browning a pound of ground meat, or making scrambled eggs for a small crowd. This is our workhorse non-stick pan. It's made well, it heats fairly evenly (the outer 1/3 of a pair of grilled cheese sandwiches aren't as brown as the inner 2/3, hence the 4 stars), and it can go into the oven up to 450 or so. It doesn't play nice with our dishwasher due to its size, so I handwash it a lot. Still, I'd definitely buy it again.Honest reviews on Download Tramontina Professional Restaurant Fry Pans
Great looking pan, very sturdy. Handle is comfortable and stays cool. Plenty large enough for about any purpose. So far, I like it much better than the T-Fal pan it replaced.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Download Tramontina Professional Restaurant Fry Pans
Haven't tried cooking with it yet, but have three immediate observations:It's "pretty", but it's very light weight for a pan this size.... not sure if it will hold up to high heat without warping and/or scorching.
My gas stove has a six-pointed grate and since the HANDLE IS HEAVIER THAN THE PAN. It literally tips over and falls off the stove if it isn't positioned very carefully!! The handle is long, and on my stove it needs to be at a very awkward angle to balance empty on the grate for pre-heating. It's kinda dangerous! (On a flat countertop it does stay flat.)
The usable size is a full 12" inches with a 9.5" flat center area, but the rim flares at the top edge to 12.5 inches, so a generic 12" glass lid wobbles and doesn't seat properly for steaming grains, etc.
It should be perfect for flipping large dinner crêpes, poaching quantities of eggs, lightly sautée-ing fish etc., but I have doubts that it will last as an everyday high heat browning pan.
Update: After testing it for a week, my suspicions have been confirmed... It is OK for some foods and it IS non-stick... BUT,
It isn't heavy enough to distribute heat evenly. On test crêpes, they do flip easily, but you can clearly see scorch marks where the gas flame hits the bottom. I'm removing one star... and will continue to use caution with it.
