This good-looking stir-fry pan is more diminutive than a wok and larger than a frying pan, and its nonstick surface lets you cook a handful of delicate snow peas or enoki mushrooms using virtually no oil without worrying that they'll stick or burn. It's the perfect kitchen tool for creating healthy, fat-free cuisine, but it also handles oils and special vinegars beautifully, and will accommodate a rich curry or a splendid bouillabaisse. You can even begin cooking on top of the stove and finish in the oven--up to 350 degrees. Its neat domed glass lid has a raised, easy-grip knob so your hand doesn't touch the hot surface, and you can peak at what's inside without releasing any of the flavors or steam. --C.

I bought the 12-piece set of analon classic and really love them. I love them so much that I've ordered this stir fry pan and lid which has not yet been delivered, but I'm sure I'll love it too.

Meyer manufactures Analon so they know all the pieces that are available. I wonder how this pan compares with the Analon Classic 12-inch skillet, no lid, ASIN B0000A0VG2? The lid-less pan is listed in its specs as being 3" deep but this one's depth is not given. Carefully comparing the enlarged images of both pans, especially where the rivets are relative to the bottom of the pan, it would seem that this one is deeper than 3". Its depth is not given. I hope so. This pan is priced at more than three times that of the lid-less 12-inch pan. A lid isn't worth that much!

Finally the perfect wok
I'm a Chinese so needless to say I stir fry a lot and I've been in search for the perfect wok/stir fry pan for the past 3 years. My criteria:
1. Non-stick
2. Flat bottom
3. Not too heavy with easy to grasp handle
4. Got to have lid

The first I bought was a Calphalon hard-anondized 12" flat bottom pan with plastic dome lid, since I liked Calphalon brand and the pan is made in USA. But that pan was 5 lbs by itself with a very narrow handle, making carrying very tough and my wrist hurted. Plus it's stick resistant but not non-stick, making frying meats, fish even eggs difficult. Heating up is slow too due to the sheer weight of the pan.

Then I got T-Fal deep saute non-stick pan. Being a saute pan, the whole 10" bottom is flat, causing overheating spots if you don't have enough food to cover. After a few months use, the supposedly flat bottom became higher in the middle and lower around the edge, causing the oil to flow to the edge exposing the middle which is even more susceptible to overheating. In the end I went through 2 of this pan since the non-stick coating simply warped.

A few months ago I saw this pan on sale at Filene's department store and got a chance to check it out. Love at first sight! It satisfies all my criteria and I was excited it was available at Amazon[.com] with even better price and free shipping!

After a couple of weeks use, I like it even more. It heats up quickly, foods simply glide inside easily since it is a wok after all, unlike the T-fal saute pan. What's more, the top edge is covered with non-stick coating (unlike some pans with exposed aluminum), so any left-over grease on the edge is easy to clean and won't build up burned grease after long time use. The glass lid makes checking progress so easy. Lastly the lifetime warranty gives me peace of mind.

So I give this pan 2 thumbs up!

Good Wok substitute, esp. for radiant heat
When I switched to radiant instead of electric or gas, I needed new pots/pans that are REALLY flat so food cooks evenly rather than burn on the spot that touches and doesn't cook on spots that don't.

I bought the 12-piece set of analon classic and really love them. I love them so much that I ordered this stir fry pan and lid. I love this pan so much. I admire its shape and everything. It's my most used pan. It's really big and deep, and the curved sides make it easy to stir things around; nothing gets caught in the angle. And it's a wok with a modified bottom that works on radiant heat!

Buy this instead of those "professional" cookware
This stir fry pan is better than most. I like it because it is lighter than most. Handle is easy to grip and it comes with a cover which is a good one. It also last longer than most.

Enough praises. But I have to tell you that if you use it regularly, it won't last over a year. "Stir Fry" requires high heat and "Nonstick" requires medium heat. "Nonstick Stir Fry" means "good pan for a year". I use it 5 times a week and trust me, it will start sticking within a year no matter what utensils you use and how careful you clean it.

Having said that, this stir fry pan is still a good value. Especially the standard size cover which will out last the pan. Do not waste money on those "professional" cookwares that cost over $100. Buy 2 of this instead. The only difference is the professional is heavier and had a thicker Teflon coating.

finally, a quality wok
For my upstart apartment I needed a wok at the core of my cooking ware that I could use daily, and I finally found a quality wok at a decent price. DO NOT spend less than $50 and expect to get something that will a) not rust, b) be real non-stick, and c) have a decent warranty. This wok combines all of the above. A definite recommended buy. ...

Amazon.com Review

A rare feature among hard-anodized cookware, Anolon Titanium isactually dishwasher-safe. However, it offers cooks many advantages longbefore cleanup time. Constructed of extra-thick aluminum, these heavypots and pans conduct heat quickly and uniformly (no hot spots) andwon't warp. Their handsome, charcoal-gray exterior is harder than steeland resists scratching and denting. Inside, they're coated withDuPont's exceptionally durable Autograph nonstick that readily releasesfood. Stainless-steel handles have an attractive satin-finish. Thehandles are rounded for comfort, hollow to stay cool on the stovetop,oven-safe to 500 degrees F, and have hanging holes. This 12-inch stir- fry pan has a helper handle and a rounded bottom that's perfect forcooking Asian-style food.

Unlike conventional hard-anodized pots and pans, this cookware isdishwasher-safe because its titanium-composite exterior is nonporous.Nevertheless, its virtue of being dishwasher-safe is not unlimited. Toprevent pots and pans from discoloring in a dishwasher over time--andto prevent voiding the lifetime warranty against defects--themanufacturer's cleaning instructions about water temperature (120 to140 degrees F) and detergent (mild, with a phosphate content less that7-1/2 percent) must be strictly observed. As with most cookware, handwashing Anolon Titanium is the better alternative for ideal care.--Fred Brack ... Read more

Cutomers Beware!!!
I have spent thousands of dollar's, On Meyers cookware everthing from KitchenAid, Anolon, Prestige, Faberware, & Circulan, just to name a few. Though Meyers does manufacture very high quality pots & pans and I would recommend them to anyone it's just sad that if you have any problem with them, under warranty, you have to go throught the chain of command, that never gets you anywhere, even if you want to speak with upper management about the rudeness of the customer service department. Their customer service department employees are always very rude and snotty and they act like they are doing you a favor to even talk to you about their products. Don't get me wrong they do make good cookware, probably the best, but you as the consumer are at the mercy of their customer service and their descision or your fait on wheather your life time warranty is honored or not.

Extremely Pleased With This Wok
This is a heavy duty 14 inch wok, heavy gage stainless steel and it has a small flat 5 inch base to concentrate the heat from a 6 inch burner. The outside is polished to a mirror finish and the inside of the wok has a brushed finish. The inside of this wok is a rounded bottom wok with a small flat surface at the bottom. Around the edge of the wok, the edge is turned under to form a rounded lip; no sharp edges as is found on the cheaper carbon steel/hammered woks. Unlike stir fry pans where the sides of the pan are sloped or rounded which allows the food you just stir fried to slip back into the oil at the bottom, this wok has a shallower slope which allows the meat you just stir fried to be moved away from the oil at the bottom and the meat stays up on the sides and hot while you stir fry the vegetables and noodles at the bottom on the wok. When you are ready, you can recombine all the meat and the vegetables together in the wok; no more putting the meat in a bowl on the side to keep it from overcooking when using a stir fry pan. And no more rusty carbon steel woks which get sticky from the oil you use to season and store the wok. Been really easy to clean with soap and water. Extremely pleased with this wok and it's price. ... Read more

The hard-anodized aluminum nonstick cookware in Anolon'sProfessional line delivers exceptional results and satisfying features.Because it's pure aluminum, the cookware distributes heat quickly andevenly, both across the bottom of the pan and up its sides. Thehard-anodizing process makes the pieces harder than stainless steel andcreates an excellent surface for nonstick coating to bind to. The endresult is a convenient cookware that releases food easily, cleans upwithout fuss, and is markedly resistant to daily wear and tear. Plus,it's guaranteed never to chip, crack, or peel.

A handsome member of the Professional line, this 12-inch open stir-frypan has fine balance, pleasant heft, and generous dimensions. Itrequires surprisingly low temperatures to cook food thoroughly andlittle to no oil, thanks to the top-of-the-line Dupont Autographnonstick coating. The pan's 18/10 stainless-steel stay-cool handlefeatures a comfortable rolled construction, permanent rivets, and ahole for hanging. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F, the pan performs bestwith occasional conditioning and wooden or plastic utensils. Itmeasures 12 by 21 by 4-1/4 inches and comes with an uncoated charcoalgray matte finish. --Emily Bedard ... Read more
