Guide Review - Martha Stewart GreenPan Fry Pan, 11-inch
Overall, this has been a good non-stick cookware addition to my kitchen. It performs well for breakfast items such as eggs, pancakes, and french toast. It also performs well with vegetables such as onions and peppers, without any added oils or fats, which is an essential quality for low calorie cooking. The non-stick performance is pretty good, though while cooking eggs, I did experience a slight amount of sticking. This, however, cleaned up very easily in soapy water.
The 11-inch cooking surface is a good size as it is not too large to fry a single egg, yet can accomodate a larger portion of food such as scrambled eggs or several pancakes.
The pan qualifies as user-friendly, as it cleans up in a snap, though it is recommended that the pan be hand-washed as opposed to being placed in the dishwasher. After several uses, the pan still looks fantastic. The handle of the pan consistently remains cool to the touch while the cooking surface of the pan heats.
