Proware Copper Base 26cm Sauté Pan

We bought this pan to replace a similar pan which did not have a helper handle. It is larger than I would have liked but there did not seem to be a slightly smaller version. When your hands become arthritic it is important to have the helper handle when lifting the pan in and out of the oven.

- it’s very heavy but that’s ok as there is a handle opposite the long handle to make easy lifting. I have taken time to season it which makes it fairly non stick . Cooks evenly with good distribution of heat . I recommend

Overall I'm pleased with this. I seem to have had better cooking with copper bottomed pans. My only 'but' is a personal preference: the handle, for the weight of the pan, is thin and feels a bit flimsy compared to the weight of the pan. However, there is another 'holder' handle on the other side of the pan so you can pick it up with two hands, but I am less likely to do that automatically. I might get used to it and it hasn't really been an issue as I've used it a few times now. Overall, its lovely to have a large flat pan with a lid on it (instead of putting a baking tray over the top of a frying pan!)

Great value for money and cooks really well.

I bought the full set for my daughter Iv had a set for years and they still look great,
