The sloping sides on this skillet don't appear to be particularly pronounced. Has anyone had issues using this skillet to toss their ingredients?

I bought Cuisinart 722-20 Chef's Classic Stainless 8-Inch Open Skillet, so I am not sure of the size skillet you are referring to. I find that the sides on this small pan work well when I toss veggies as I cook or reheat them...so long as the pan is not to full. The sides of my pan are about 2 inches deep and contoured with a lipped edge. Hope that helps.

Yes, it's much smoother. That fact, and its lighter weight are what made me choose it over cast iron. I haven't noticed any loss, or unevenness, of seasoning. I cookon a glass cooktop, by the way.

I turned mine on a little too high once and noticed that the spatula (which came with the cookware set) melted a little on the surface. I couldn't get it completely off when I washed the pan. I think it has worn off now, but I wasn't thrilled about that because I don't really like using plastic to begin with. This is the ONLY problem I've had so far with this cookware.

On the pots, the bottom is smooth, but on the frying pan, there are bumps in the bottom. I find it helpful when cooking things like bacon with just the slightest lift from the grease.

To be honest, I haven't noticed it being a problem but then again I don't use the pan on a regular basis. I just put the lid on my pan and it does shift a bit. The eggs turn out fine though.

Just went to try it out in a wok and no it doesn't sit properly. Instead of pointing downward into the wok, it sits back too far on the edge and ends up sticking out horizontally across the wok.

I've done it and it works just fine, the only negative factors are the size (ie, I don't have a 14-inch skillet) , and it's a little unwieldy when the pan handle is flush against the level of the oven rack. The two handles on this pan are nice.

Jack, I didn't notice that effect with the one I'm using, I would guess perhaps the problem migth be happening due to overheat the pan ! Since I bought it I took very serious the recomendation not to heat it too much and not too fast. Hope this help

Don't know. I haven't had that problem. Still using it whenever I make pancakes or bacon... a couple of times a week. Like it much better than the large skillet I used before I got it... especially for pancakes, much easier with this and can make more at once.

Tina I don't know what that would be. I've never had that problem, but I would definitely call the manufacturer and let them know about it. That is really strange. Sorry I couldn't help you. How long have you had the skillet? Can you return it?

I haven't had that problem. I use it pretty much only for pancakes. My issue is that the heating isn't very even. But to get really even heat I think you'd have to invest a lot. So for the price it's ok.

Are you using the right setting on the front of the griddle? I haven't had that issue so just curious if you tried a different setting if that would help. I think I used the griddle setting at about 300 (I think) Been awhile. Hope this helps. also make sure you let it warm up with the lid closed before cooking.

Sides are straight but bottom is curved.. Not as deep as a wok, but would definitely work better on a gas range rather than ceramic cooktop (which I have). With that said, I love it.

I have had no problem with that and warping on the bottom This couldn't happen to a cheaper pans if you tend to have them hot and then put them in Coldwater the outside world shrink and make the bottom work out I have have not had any problems with Farberware

Mine do not go all the way to the edge, although close. I guess I never noticed them shifting - at least not enough to keep me from loving my little whisk. I use it all the time, as does Nigella Lawson.

I've never had that issue either, and I do dips on it fairly often. I will say when doing dips, making sure it's on a hard surface is important to help reduce wobble.

I have used mine numerous times and have yet to have an issue with it. I am in love with these pans!
