I can't believe they do this!, I bought this pan because of it's heavy weight. So far I have not been able to use it because they place a sticker in the middle of the pan that doesn't peel off. I tried to peel it off and the glossy surface tore away in strips. So then I soaked it in water overnight. I was able to remove the rest of the paper but now I'm left with a gummy sticky residue in the middle of the pan. It appears they put this label on all their pans to boast about being eco friendly. I know I could use a product like Goof Off to remove it but Goof Off is hardly eco friendly and I would rather not use a toxic substance on a pan I'm going to cook with.
I emailed them to ask them how to remove the residue. I wonder if they will respond. I don't understand why manufacturers place these difficult to remove stickers on their products. I once bought a stainless barbecue and it took me over an hour to remove the 8.5" x 11" sticker and the glue residue left behind by the sticker they placed on it. Ok enough of this rant. I'll edit this post if I hear from Ecolutions and let everyone know what they say. If I ever get to actually cook with this pan I'll also let everyone know how it performs.
UPDATE: I have been using this pan for awhile now mostly for cooking eggs.
Love this pan!, After trying one of the lighter weight Ecolution pans (which is fine), I decided to try the heavyweight pan. LOVE it! It is truly non-stick and the outside finish is much more durable than the lighter weight pans. I recently fried two pans of okra side by side one in the heavyweight pan and one in the lighter pan. The heavy weight pan fried it more evenly and faster and it was on the smaller burner! I had no trouble with label removal. I just wish all the fry pans had lids.
Great, High Quality Pan, (What's this?) I replaced an old supermarket brand that had lost its finish and I like this pan more. The Ecolution's is heavier, but not at all too heavy. The cool silicone handles are much better than the chrome handles on the old pan. The guarantee of the finish is what sold me on this product. I would recommend it to anyone. Also, there is no longer a label stuck to the pan (like a prior reviewer had.) The "sleeve" it came in slides off and you an use the pan right away.
Excellent for the price, (What's this?) After trying some other PFOA free pans, I haven't been too impressed. When this one arrived and I opened the box, I still wasn't impressed. It looks cheap and like something you'd get at a large discount place. However, once I picked it up, this is clearly heavier and sturdier than it looks.
I 'seasoned' the pan according to the instructions. Since receiving it, I've probably used it at least twice a day - for a couple of weeks now. Where I used to need a tablespoon of oil, I now use either no oil at all, or maybe a teaspoon for flavor.
Wow...The heavy weight makes a huge difference!, (What's this?) This is really high end for the price! I used the 9.5 inch for the first time yesterday and it cooked a chicken breast in oil with spices and cleaned up great. This isn't too heavy but has a nice heft to it and the silicone grip handle is a nice touch.
One thing to keep in mind with ANY non-stick cookware is NEVER use commercial non-stick sprays in them because most contain Silicon Dioxide which will break down the non-stick coating and ruin them.
Printed on 70% recycled materials.Hydrolon water based nonstick - PFOA Free.Ultra thick aluminum insures consistent heating and guaranteed performance.Our soft silicone handle is easy to grip and stays cool.Dishwasher safe. Ecolution Cookware features Hydrolon - PFOA free nonstick which results in fewer Greenhouse Gases. Hydrolon is water based. We replaced nasty PFOA solvents with water. When the non-stick is applied to the pan water solvent evaporates rather then emitting PFOA into the air. Eco is part of our name and our products. If you share a genuine concern for the planet, we have something in common. We believe that cooking well in the kitchen and doing good for the planet can happen at the same time. Our cookware uses manufacturing techniques that do not include the use of PFOA toxins. Ecolution aims to educate the public on how to recycle old cookware. Cook Well. Do Good.
