How are the pan and lid handles on the hands, easy/hard to use, and balanced? They seem short and insubstantial to me.

I use this pan everyday and I like it quite well. The pan, handle, and lid are well made and not of the flimsy variety. The pan feels very good on the hands, easy to use and balanced. I have purchased two of them.

Michael, the one with 1 handle is a grill pan which I absolutely love!! The one with 2 handles is a regular skillet and not as deep. The 2 handle one is ok but not my favorite. I have both. You can use regular utensils on the one handle grill pan. The 2 handle skillet is not very forgiving. Hope this helps.

The handles are contoured to fit your hands and fingers, so it is very easy to use for your arms. My wife uses it exclusively for her arms, which have toned up very well! A buddy of mine who is retired was so impressed with this machine, that he bought one after trying ours out.

Hi Sue,The handles are fine, just be careful not to touch the metal areas. Also, I advise you to use the pan for other things first to get used to them because these pots and pans are like iron pots-n-pans....they hold heat very well, so a little does it. Always start out small and work up to higher temps (lest you burn the stuff inside your pot). These are fabulous and I think you'll love it for what you want in peanut brittle.Ella

Handle is a good solid cast design, rounded metal, that stays cool to warm in use. Pan should be used only up to medium high. Could warp if used on high a lot.

My old pan which I am trying to replace has a small handle also. That handle makes it much easier to use. If anyone knows where I can buy the skillet with 2 handles I would appreciate that information

Karen, The handlw is definitely small. And the pan size is big enough for making 1 fried egg.

You are right, the pans and pots take small space. But they are thin and small, I doubt the quality

I only know this one For the most part I am satisfied. But, I can see a few design flaws that would have been so easy to change. The height doesn't fit under the kitchen cabinets, the cord needs a better latch to keep it out of the way, and the handle could be sturdier...but, it's so easy to use, it weighs nothing, and the price is right! Hope this helps.

The pans are very light. An additional benefit with my arthritis. Just have to remember to keep heat low as liquids are absorbed/cooked off very quickly.

We did not experience any issues with the handle. The pan is really heavy, just needs to be taken using both hands.

My experience is that it is very easy to open. I have never had a problem. And the absence of a long handle (or handles) at least for me, makes it easier to store.

This is Ken over at Nurturing Planet. I cannot say for sure that you will find the mitts perfect for you. I have had a very few ladies with very small hands say that they love the mitts, but that they find them unwieldy, and have returned them. I would say that if anyone else will use them besides you, then you will find them a very good compromise for a "multiple person" kitchen. I would suggest you try them. Returns are not a problem, and you can get all your money back if they just don't work well for you. Looking forward to your decision. :)

Pan has small, maybe 1/2 inch extensions on each end that can be used to support the pan for lifting and moving. (They are somewhat oval.)

I did a quick measurement with a ruler - internal about 8" (just shy) and the overall pan in 1/8" shy of 11". Yes, easy to toss food in it if you have a strong wrist, as it's heavy. The slope of the sides is a sharper angle than my other saute pans so it's a bit of an adjustment, but it works just fine.
