"Great pan!"
I bought this pan to replace an 8 year old version of the same thing. This one was even better! I liked the soft touch handle, the non stick surface is great. Wipes out with a paper towel. Still good for basic pan sauces though.

"A good buy"
I purchased this after reading an article in Cook's Illustrated, which gave it a "Recommended" rating. Although it is very heavy for me - to slide food out I have to brace my elbows against my torso and use two hands - it is very roomy, heats evenly, doesn't stick yet, and still looks very nice after six months of use. The "soft-touch" handle seemed gimmicky to me at first, but it turned out to be comfortable and convenient (I'm one of those people who has to drape a towel over a hot handle so I don't forget it's hot). This pan was an upgrade from the flaking non-stick pans of my husband's collegiate years, and it was a good buy.

UPDATE 1.13.08: I've now owned this pan over a year, and it is holding up well. I use it almost every day, and have had only one minor problem - eggs create a film on the pan that is difficult to remove. Otherwise, it's still heating evenly, non-stick properties (except for the eggs as noted) are still functioning, and it even looks great! Of course, we don't have a dishwasher, so the hand-washing may have something to do with that.

"Non-stick is inconsistant in quality"
I bought this pan almost a year ago. When it was new, it worked great. Attractive design, nice balance (though a bit heavy, which is a GOOD sign for even heating in my book), comfortable handle, and the non-stick coating worked great. I liked it so much, I bought the 8 inch as well.

Fast foward to yesterday when I returned it. The reason was the non-stick and evolved into MUST-stick. Everything sticks to the point that you have to use a pretty decent scrubby sponge to get it clean again, and that's after soaking it for an hour or so in hot, soapy water. I have since started to use an old T-Fal pan I bought at Costco 15 years ago and was subjected to the same level of use and abuse (if not more) and still is NON-stick. To be fair, the rest of the pan was holding up well.

The 8 incher I bought a couple months later is still working well, non-stick not sticking. Farberware needs to work on their quality consistancy. After reading other reviews here, I seem to have company in my experience.

"great purchase"
I have this pan for over a year and it is great. Easy use, easy cleanup. no complaints

"Best skillet I have ever used!!"
This skillet is excellent. When they say nonstick they really mean nonstick. It is a little heavy but its well worth it. I love this skillet so much. I have bought several skillets and they were all crap. I highly recommend that you purchase this.
