Where are the reviews for this pan?  When the item comes up it says there are 2 reviews - only 3 stars but when you scroll down the page it says be the first one to review this item.  QVC has sold so many of these pans, it's hard to believe that only 2 people reviewed it and you can't even access the 2 reviews.  Anyone else having this problem?

There are many reviews on Amazon, and they are mixed. It's worth a look.

I googled for the reviews. I opted not to buy after reading them.

I saw that too, 3 stars, but no reviews. I think a lot have people who ordered din't receive them yet. I'm pretty sure they didn't ship until last week.  It will be just a matter of short time before it's available in the As Seen on TV  sections of some of the box stores, Walmart, Target. I know Bed Bath & Beyond carries it.

I received my pan and immediately sent it back.  I did read the reviews on QVC.  Initially, there were many reviews.  Were they pulled because they were bad?  I'm wondering why they don't show the pan being put through scatch and other damage-type testing.

I felt the pan was not substantial enough for long term wear - especially for the price.

I've read all the reviews when they were up.  They are mixed, some love it, some it's just so-so.  Someone gave it a bad rating just because it got scratched on the bottom.  That is not a helpful review to me at all, I'm interested in performance.

 

Also, I'd prefer to read reviews after they've owned it for a month or two and used it more than once.

I received mine the other day and made fried chicken with it this afternoon.  While I agree that it needs to be tested for at least a month to really know how it will work out, the chicken that I made today was the best tasting that I have ever made.  Everyone raved about it.  Fried chicken is definitely not my specialty.

 

Knowing the price, I do not expect it to last forever.  If I wanted that, I would get AllClad or real copper (don't want the upkeep on that one).  So, if it lasts two years, I am happy. If it lasts one year, I am probably still pretty happy.  If it burns up in a month, it goes back.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I received mine a few days ago.  Decided to try the recipie for the Smores Cake.  Now maybe I'm just stupid, but I read the instructions and the first thing said to mis the cake mix according to the instructions on the box and set aside.  So I did.  I continuted to follow the instructions.  Layered the graham crackers on the bottom, sprinkle half the chips and pour the cake mix on top.  Place pan in oven and cook for 15 minutes.  Crush the rest of the crackers and sprinkle on cake with the rest of the ingredients (marshmallows and chips) but also listed was oil, water and 2 eggs. 

 

At this point, which is too late to do anything, I realize something is not right.  Should I have used the oil, eggs, and water measurements instead of the box directions????

 

I ended up with a mess.  Of course there was too much batter to cook in 15 minutes.  I left it in longer hoping it would cook correctly but it burnt around the edges and didn't cook in the middle.

I got mine a few weeks ago, have used it a half dozen times and so far , really like it..it heats evenly, works on induction, is light enough with two handles for easy handling, has great capacity, steams like a dream..haven't deep fried in it yet, but for the price, I think it's a great value... Do I think It will  last as long as my Le Creuset? No, but then, neither will I!

 

Thumbs up from me!
