Vida by PADERNO Elite Series 3-Layer Frying Pan, Dishwasher & Oven Safe, Stainless Steel Reviews
#1 in Cookware

Description


The Vida Elite Series Clad Frypan provides a surround-heat tri-ply construction comprising of a stainless-steel interior which is non-reactive to food, an aluminium core for even heat distribution and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior which is suitable for all cooktops.

• 3- layer clad construction provides even and fast heating
• 18/10 stainless steel interior is non-reactive to food.
• Aluminium core provides even heat distribution and retention.
• Rolled edges for mess-free pouring.
• 28cm (11”)
• Oven safe up to 500 degrees F/ 260 degrees C
• Compatible with electric, gas, ceramic, halogen, and induction cooktops

NOTE: Clad cookware preheats at a different rate than other types of cookware which in turn can cause food to stick more. Before adding any oil, we recommend preheating the pan over medium heat. It is also necessary to add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan so that it can act as a barrier between the pan and the food. Adding food to cold oil may also lead to sticking since the temperature of the pan will drop too quickly from the addition of the cold oil and cold food. For this reason, advocates should let the oil heat up until it starts to swirl around the pan loosely.

    Such a good quality and heavy pan!

    This pan is seriously some impressive quality, it is really versatile, I love using it for basic quick frying needs, like French fries! But I have quickly implemented it as one of my go-to pans when making certain pasta dishes in the oven as well! It is easy to hold and clean!

    What a great find!!

    I was selected to try out the pan. I usually buy top notch brands as I cook daily and need food safety, food integrity, resilience and performance. I always thought Paderno to be a low quality product but it exceeds even all-clad under every aspect. And it has been easier to clean!

    I'm sure it works, but maybe I need more practice

    I used this stainless steel pan for the first time to pan fry my salmon. I waited for the pan to get hot before I added my oil. I then added my salmon in, and within a few seconds I could tell the salmon was cooking really quickly. Unfortunately, when I used my tongs to flip the salmon over, I could tell the salmon was burning on the side that it was cooked on. I had to take all my salmon out and use another frying pan to panfry my salmon. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but since this was my first time using a stainless steel pan, maybe I missed a step. I will try it again, because I like how stainless steel pans contain no harsh chemicals and are better for human health.

    A great addition to my Cookware

    I prepared the pans as instructed using oil to seal the pan and ensure that food did not stick. I started off with pancakes to see how the pan worked. The pancakes were evenly cooked and did not stick to the pan. They came out light and fluffy. Next up was bacon. Same as the pancakes, the bacon cooked evenly, but there was some sticking to the pan. I cleaned up the pan, applied a small amount of oil and then cooked scrambled eggs. There was some sticking to the pan, however, clean up was simple with dish detergent and the pan came out shining and clean. The selling feature for me on this pan is that it can be used in the oven, none of my other fying pans have this feature.

    Pleasantly surprised!

    I have never used an induction pan before so I was excited to test this out! It was safe and evenly heated the food! When used on our stovetop at home it cooked everything evenly. Highly recommend!

    Paderno Frying Pan

    Considering the fact that is is not a non-stick pan, no issues with food sticking at all. Heats very evenly, cooks food evenly and quite quickly and is super easy to clean. No mess left on the pan and no issues with cooking at all. Super easy to use, quality seems to be great first couple uses. Would highly recommend as an alternative to non-stick that contains harsh chemicals.

    Disappointing

    Food burned quite quickly. I am a pretty experienced chef and am disappointed in this product. I certainly wouldn’t purchase it again or recommend it to anyone!

    Overall good

    The product was of good use overall. I liked how it was easy and not too heavy to handle. However, when cooking my food, I needed to put more oil than expected, otherwise my food get stick to the pan.
    It's also a decent size to cook for 2-4 people overall. The handle is a bit too thin to my liking but you don't feel the heat from the pan. When washing, it leaves a bit of grease if your food stick to the pan before, so you might need to wash it more carefully.
    Overall, the product is pretty handle and easy to use.

    Beautiful pan that is healthy and helpful!

    This pan is a beautiful addition to our kitchen. It looks beautiful and performs even better. It’s important to preheat it and some oil/butter before adding in food so it doesn’t all get stuck - but it’s easy to clean in the event it does. Love that it can go straight in the oven and cooks food evenly. So happy with it so far, and happy to replace scratched ceramic cookware with it!

    Super light weight good quality pan

    Unlike other heavy stainless steel pans, this pan is very light weight and easy to use and wash. The fact that it’s dishwasher safe makes my life so much easier. I’ve also cooked eggs in it and they definitely do not stick. I am really impressed!
