Can't remember who wanted on these boards his small square "japanese" style pan.

Set of 3 today: 721-330. $59.95

Might order them as I used to have one from years ago from Q and coating came off☹️

I am a big fan of square frying pans. I need a new one and I am tempted to order the set of three. They are not easy to find.

I am hesitating because I have had such bad luck with his baking pans. They were pure junk.

ahhhh, decisions.

The baking pans are an entirely different animal. I have had things stick to them and not been able to clean the residue off. The cookware is awesome - I've never had DH love anyone's pans as much as CS.

@Carmie

I know you always reference in most posts about the poor finish on the cookiesheets. I do have them but they are not good anymore🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. Even using parchment they have "hot spots" ...wonder why the cookware doesn't have these issues?

I thought I'd pass on these pans but I may get them and share with my son. I don't need 3.

I love my CS fry pans and just bought the TSV for the three square pans. I will keep the small one for myself since I live alone and give the other to to DD. Can't beat CS cookware

The size and shape of these rectangular pans look to me to be pretty much useless. I'd never use something so shallow or narrow. Reviews report damage to glass top stoves and them being very heavy. Read specifications before ordering.

I'd like only one.

With all of my round pans it would be hard to store.

They keep saying CS is the #1 selling chef. He out ranks Wolfgang?

ETA 5pm

I caved bought the gray Extended delivery for all colors now.

bad reviews I found: paint coming off the outside, too heavy, handle too long, didn't fit in dishwasher

I bought one when it was first introduced, I think last January.

It's wonderful, has held up well, and I look forward to receiving this new set.

Not sure whether I'll order them but do find square pans hold a little more when cooking. I did order his limited edition 8" pan with lid last night. Even though I already have two other of his 8" skillets, excited to get this one with lid. Both pan and lid oven safe to 400 degrees. Great size for one or two person household, can even make casseroles in it.

I ordered the classic blue. I like the shape too. It'll be lots easier to fit grilled cheese sandwiches in them.

Johnnyeager — Sat, 12 Dec 2020 17:32:14 GMT

Many of the colors are already on extended delivery.

@homedecor1

I got a set of CS cookware about 2 years ago and use it almost every day. I’m hard on my pans and these are like new. Impressive. I love the slide out shape of these and ordered a set. I was able to use a $5 off coupon and also ordered through RetailMeNot for 8% cashback.

Too many good colors to pick from - I could not decide if I wanted classic blue to match what I have or something completely different so I got the stone gray.

I love his cookware but the pan I use almost everyday was a TS from years ago --not this color but this style.

I think it's the workhorse of my kitchen. The next one is the 12" skillet .

Not sure I need TS but maybe for grilled cheese. I use the square grill pan a lot too!

gave my pieces I didn't need (new) to my son. He loves that everyday pan...bought as TS but never used it.

i like the idea of square pans, but have one, not from CS and the thing doesn't heat in the corners as my burners are round---But i have CS set of durapan cookware that I LOVE.

Just jumping in to say I love my CS cookware. I've had them for about 3 years and am very pleased.

I have just the large square pan and love it, even though it's just the 2 of us. I use it for pancakes,bacon, grilled sandwiches, eggs and sausage since it's large enough to handle both, and anything else without much liquid. This pan cooks so evenly and is so easy to clean. I also just received the set of 3 smaller baking pans (different sizes) - perfect for so many things for us.

@froggy I am trusting you. I ordered a set. I hope they are awesome as some people have said.

I ordered the TS today in gray, too. I love his cookware. Great price - I also had a $10 off coupon. Love that HSN offers coupons regularly. I would've bought the set without the coupon.

I ordered a set with two 12" skillets with lids that I use practically every day. I don't even know how many years I've had the set, but the nonstick is starting to show wear but isn't flaking. I'd be overjoyed if they would offer a TS wtih this combination. I think it was on sale for $50 for the two pans.

And yes, the paint on the outside gets stained and chips, but I buy pans for the way it cooks, not for the way it looks. This nonstick holds up better than my pricer Calphalon, and it heats evenly. I cooked two beef Wellingtons for Christmas Eve and browned one filet in the CS Everyday Pan and one in an enamel-coated Lodge pan. The one in the Everyday Pan browned much better on the outside. I'm slowly changing my pans to CS. I can't even remember the last time I pulled out my All-Clad. But I won't ever get rid of the All-Clad because it's too dang pretty.

@Carmie Gosh I hope you like them - and there are a ton of folks on these boards who do. I haven't gotten rid of my old non-stick cookware - All-Clad and Scanpan - but I have put them out in the garage. I do keep a few All-clad SS pans around for when I want something heavier.

A couple of posters have recommended USA cookie sheets to me and I bought several. They are perfect and lived up to the hype.

I am hoping that these frying pans do as well. It can't hurt to try them. It is very difficult to find any square pans.
