Ayesha Curry Home Collection Nonstick Frying Pan / Fry Pan / Skillet - 11.5 Inch, Blue

In classic treat yo self mom fashion, I bought myself this sexy little number to heat up mealtime. Eggs, sausage- we both sizzled. My old skillet watched me from under the cabinet, silently cursing this newer, younger model. And then, the eggs were done. I reached for the handle, and then, BURNED. Maybe I’ve been out of the game too long, but back in my day, you could count on a pan handle to not burn the ever loving (bad word) out of you. Seriously, I’ve got a really bad burn from a handle that is not unlike the surface of the sun. Seriously, I’ve had so many lover- er, I mean, pots and pans, and I have never ever ever ever been burned by a handle. There won’t be a second date.

I was looking to replace a 2-3 year old copper pan that was completely worn out and I'd been wanting to try Ayesha Curry's cookware for awhile now. My husband felt sketchy about it and honestly did not think it would be that great, but for the price we decided to give it a shot. This pan it FANTASTIC! We use it at least 3-4 times every single day. We both fry up eggs every morning and we have used it for hamburgers and frying chicken as well - it has been a dream. After the first use, we realized we did not have to use the huge amounts of butter to coat the pan like we did on our old one. We just use a little and it coats the whole pan. No issues with sticking whatsoever and it pretty much just wipes clean with a paper towel. We will be looking to get the whole collection soon!

I bought this skillet because it was the size that I was looking for to make my omelets. It is the perfect size but I was disappointed in the coating and the textured bottom. So far it has done ok but I prefer a slicker, smooth surface. It has held up well with no scratches, etc. It is also easy to clean except where the brads attach the handle. Food sometimes sticks around this area.

I just got this out of the box, brand new and as soon as I took the plastic off I saw that it was dented. Not a small dent but like an entire part of the Circle is just straight. Super sad. It’s easier to tell from the bottom than it is from the top which is the only reason I’m keeping it. Also, I don’t know if this was Amazon’s fault or a manufacturing issue.!!!!!! E D I T !!!!!! :By far the WORST pans I have ever bought. I ended up not returning them because my husband was able to take the dent out (for the most part). Fast forward 2 months, I am really enjoying them, they get hot really fast, everything is good until one day, I’m cooking lunch and for some reason the pan gets stuck to my electric stove. Completely stuck. I couldn’t lift it off and neither could my husband. I took the contents out of the pan and turned the stove off in hopes that it would cool down enough and get unstuck by itself. While my husband and I are eating, we hear a very loud “POP” so I go over to the stove and lift the pan right off but not without noticing that parts of the bottom had MELTED OFF! I was very upset. It had been a few months since I had gotten them so I had used them a good amount of times so there was no “wrapping plastic” on them or anything and there was no food on the stove that could have melted or gotten it stuck somehow. I go over to try to scrub the burnt pieces off of my stove when I realized that the “POP” wasn’t just my pan becoming unstuck, it was my stove top CRACKING because of the pan. Keep in mind, these pots and pans are safe enough to go in your oven. I’m pretty sure my stove top does not get as hot as my oven. Never again will I be buying this brand again.

I have to tell you that, if you need good non-stick cookware, buy the "Ayesha Curry Modern Tradition" . Very inexpensive, nice looking and no "seasoning" or "pre-treatment" needed. Just wash, dry & start cooking. I've been using mine for a few months now and have had zero problems. Usually, by this time, I have thrown out my non-stick frying pans because they don't remain non-stick - even with the most careful washing and handling and they get buildup on the outside which is removable only with scouring with steel wool. These AC pans look brand new & with no sticking on the inside and scouring at all on the outside. May be the best cookware I have ever bought!

After buying the 12 inch, I decided to buy this set. Why, because the 12 inch covered is a little marvel. It heats evenly, it cooks to my preferred setting and results are impressive. I should have purchased the package in the first place. I highly recommend this line. Ms Curry, your cook skillets/pans age truly great. I have a gas stove and burners.We totally enjoy cooking in Ayesha's cooking ustensils.

We owned copper pans (you know the ones) and wanted a wok. I found the Ayesha one thinking it was copper because of the color, I think it’s called brown sugar. I loved it so much I wanted to replace my “ other” copper pans pans only to find it is aluminum. Whatever it’s made of it’s amazing. Extremely nonstick, ridiculously easy to clean and really pretty to look at! They’re perfect. I also learned that you should never use cooking spray in nonstick pans which might have ruined my other pans. These pans/cookware/bakeware from Ayesha Curry are the BEST!

Followed the instructions to the letter and these brand new pans stick constantly. Food lodges in the waffled texture on the bottom of the pan and burns in the crevices. Cleanup then requires a non abrasive tool to scrape the textured pattern clean. Even the surface of the pan is slightly abrasive and unusual for a non-stick pan coating. If we hadn't passed the return window I would have sent these back for a refund.
