Silly question...what is the "difference" between this pan and the cheaper one sold by the same company? Other then "pro" in the name?

I cannot say. The one I ordered is fairly heavy duty, I am very happy with it. Solid stainless rack, great handles... It is a little large for one chicken but I think that is ok. Great price compared to all clad...actually a superb price.

Because it is "clad." The thickness of the pan holds the heat and helps food cook more evenly. I love my pan and the many ways that I can use it. It is well made and will last me forever.

The finish and also thickness of the pan which effects durability, and even cooking.

Its a beautiful pan, thick, shiny, and cooks very evenly. I'm so happy with this pan, and I know it will last forever. You get what you pay for.

The main difference is that it is "multiclad" or "ply"which means its polished stainless steel with an aluminum core for the faster heating and even heat distribution. It's also heavy duty, thicker and stronger...most all of my cookware is clad stainless (All Clad & Cuisinart) Regular stainless does not have a core and will not have the same cooking advantages and may not last as long.

This is a beast. You will be including this in your will to your kids. It's about 1/4 in thick and would easily hold a 30 lb turkey. As far as the other one , I haven't looked at it. But as I said, this is well made.

I chose the Pro one because of the extra year in the warranty 2 vs 1 and the extra grind plate 3 vs 2 . I also believe there is a difference between a pro model (usually implies that it can take repeated abuse ) and the premium. After purchasing the original plastic one from manufacturer and having to toss it in the garbage after 4 separate uses , I could not chance throwing away more money if the cheaper of the two broke .

I would guess that they're comparable. This one is $5 less expensive though. I can tell you I use my prochef multiple times a day and am very happy with the quality for the price. I've had $30 scales in the past that have gone glitchy quickly with my excessive use.

I would say yes...but i returned mine because i found a cheaper pan in a local store.

I think the word "Pro" is a misidentification on the sellers part, it is a solid peeler, but does not over perform several others that are in my drawer. In fact it gets clogged up a bit more than my Kitchen maid peeler.

The more expensive one is the newer model with the brown-gold non-stick surface, the shorter cord, and no included spatula. I hated the "new and improved" surface on the newer one and will be buying this one.

I suggest go with the EP-RAC50. These pans were well made and worth every dollar you invest. They are easy to use/ care/ clean and I'm pretty sure they are durable, as I've been a loyal customer to Zojirushi's products for almost 20 years and each of their products lasts for a long time. Go with the higher grade and it will meet your need. (Plus you'll get a steaming plate)

I think it is the same thing. Kitchen pro 11 is the one you want. I LOVE mine!

I need find replacement for inner pan too. Not sure it is quality issue or not. I bought the cooker 4 years ago from Amazon. Now it started losing the non-stick coating in some area.

Sorry I can't help Barb. I purchased the pan for my mother and haven't even seen the pan---she lives cross country from me.If you would like I can call and ask her and report back. Again I am sorry to be of no help.Donna

Sorry - I don't know the answer to your question. I do know it is a great pan!

I went to look at my pan and it simply says "TFAL" 3 times around the edge of a circle centered on the bottom. No other writing appears anywhere that I can see. It would seem this is a different pan series or perhaps some updated pan with the same construction. You should probably drop a note with the information to the manufacturer.

Ours is exactly the same and works wonderfully. In fact, we use this pan almost exclusively now. It isn't stainless steel, so don't expect it to look like a stainless pan would after use.

The pan just out of the box is not shiny stainless steel on the inside cooking surface, but a darker color and appears to be a coating. Did you find a difference from the outside shiny stainless steel to the inside darker textured surface?

Ozeri offers lifetime warranties on their products, I am assuming the same would be true of the pan. (I would also assuming it is against manufacture defects as is the norm with most products, but don't quote me)

I don't have the other pan. I have a 10 inch and i needed a 12 inch .didn't even know they had a 11 inch. Go for the 12 if you only need one.

I am not quite sure if there is a difference but it really bakes evenly and releases from the pan plus it is decorative, and easy to clean. I am really glad I have this set. Hope this helps. I also think cast would be heavier.
