Essteele Per Domani Non-Stick Saute Pan

Avoid Esteele like the plague – I purchased this pan from David Jones but after the first use, the food just stuck to pan which literally destroyed the thing. After the first use, this non stick pan was destroyed by food sticking to it. It got sent away to Esteele for warranty and they no joke: 1. Had the audacity to say it wasn't faulty but their main reason for not exchanging it was, 2. It had been damaged because their massive dent making it not round around the lip anymore hahahahah as if this wasn't a manufacturing fault or transportation fault caused by THEM

apparently in one single use, I cooked my food so wrong that it destroyed the pan and also smashed the thing against a concrete wall to dent it.

Luckily David Jones also found this utterly ridiculous and decided to exchange it for me anyway and surprise surprise, my food has not stuck since.

Embarrassing company. Avoid them. If you do really want something from them, make sure you get it through a respectable 3rd party and at least 40% off.

Non stick cookware that sticks!! – This product fails its fundamental feature. We bought it on sale in Myer. Cooked eggs with it at first use (without oil) and it sticks and leaves marks on the pan which will not clean after following their soak instructions twice. Second time we tried using some rice bran oil and it's worse. I emailed the importer but received not reply so I returned it to the Myer for refund, but they say they have to keep it for the rep to inspect before they can process the refund. Not sure why as I bought it from them not the importer. I stressed that although I am willing to be patient, I will not be entering into any correspondence with the distributor as I do not have a relationship with them. I bought it from Myer on they basis it's non-stick and it's clearly not.

Fantastic Saute Pan – I love the quality of this pan and the fact that the base is flat for even cooking. I have had other big brand name sauté pans that are not flat on the bottom with sauces and oil running off to the sides not providing even cooking. This pan also works well on an induction cooktop. I’m also impressed with the way this pan cleans up. Wash up is a breeze. I have used it many times now and am still impressed.

Do not buy! Horrible for induction! Doesn’t have an even transfer of heat – I bought the Essteele Per Domani non stick sauté pan 30cm from David Jones. The way Essteele advertises is that this pan has so many layers, it’s the best for induction as it has an even layer of heat across the base. SO wrong! Only the center is very hot. And around it doesn’t get as hot. So I did an experiment just to be sure - I made pancakes and I had a few rounds of pancakes in the pan. The pancake in the very middle was nice and golden brown, but all the other rounds of pancakes were all basically white and uncooked.

I don’t know how Essteele could make a pan so poorly designed!? And then advertise it to be the best at providing balance heat. The ONE thing it should do and it doesn’t.
