Lakeland Stainless Steel Non-Stick Frying Pan - 24cm

I know this is a cliche but I can honestly say this is the best frying pan I have ever used. I always thought that some of my previous frying pans, including some rather expensive Hard Anodised pans, were good but 1) they soon looked shabby and didn't last for long and 2) were nowhere near as good as this one. To some, the cost might look relatively high just for a frying pan but I can assure you that it is definitely terrific value for money and cleans like a dream. Apart from some slight discolouring on the base, which is to be expected, it still has the look of a 'new' pan. Quality counts.

I knew what I wanted frying pan wise and so happy when I found this in store when I last visited. Sadly after just a couple of (good) uses my other half ruined it! Thinks he can cook but does not have any idea on temperatures apart from full blast, plus there was no oil in the frying pan either! He promised to replace it but I finally had to order another on-line (and treated myself to lots of other goodies too!) Needless to say, he is banned from using the new one that I rate very highly.

I was pleased with this at first but found that the coating deteriorated quickly. Lakeland replaced it but, after a few uses, I've found the replacement is deteriorating too. The non-stick is very effective but the pan does not have the longevity of my Le Creuset pans. I suspect it should not be advertised as suitable for metal utensils or as dishwasher safe (I only very rarely use metal utensils and don't run a high dishwasher cycle but suspect the wear must be due to these factors).
