A nonstick dynamo

Lagasse called his Forever Pans "the most innovative pans I've ever cooked with" in a video demonstration. "They can sear like stainless, caramelize like cast iron, and they have a super-nonstick surface that will never lose their nonstick coating."

So, what makes this nonstick pan different from that old scratched up pan you've procrastinated chucking? Its durable three-layer coating, which we're happy to report, is free of PFOA, lead and cadmium. Thanks to its heavy-gauge construction, it resists scratches, even from metal spatulas and whisks. This also means you won't have to overdo it with oil (read: fat and calories) to keep this pan pretty. It cooks food beautifully and mess-free.

"Browns meat as advertised. Cooks with lower heat and amazing results!" raved one five-star reviewer. "The non-stick is like no other and the clean up is so quick & easy. Also, this cookware is the first non-stick that actually browns the meat."

"Works great on my induction stove," a fellow fan chimed in. "It looks great, is well made and comes with a great fitting lid that also fits another pan I have. ... Used for fried potatoes and also over medium eggs which I flip using a little wrist action no spatula. You need a good nonstick to do that and a pan with a good rim edge."

A cinch to clean

Because things don't stick, it's a breeze to clean. And it's dishwasher safe — really!

"Best pan I ever found!!!" raved a five-star fan. "I’m 70. In all those years I tried almost everything. This pan is sooo easy to clean. Just wipe with a paper towel. Nothing STICKS to it. Food just slides around. I can’t believe it. Makes cooking fun and no worries about cleaning. You can spray it with Pam or use bacon grease or a little butter like you would any pan. The only difference is nothing sticks and it slides all over And my eggs slide right out. Hamburgers steaks even cheese will not stick. I actually have fun using it.

Don't flip your lid

The lid's cool riveted handle won't burn your hand; and the lid itself is vented to expel excess moisture and prevent condensation.

"Favorite pan," declared one fan. "Love this so much. Easy to clean and handle. Love that the lid is flat too. Very happy.

Added another: "Love that the handle stays cool."

Apparently there's a lot to love. (Especially if you go for the full 10-piece set — now 52% off.)
