How does this pan do on browning? I am looking for one that does not over brown the outside in order to get the inside done.

I have not had that problem but you may want to lower the temp on the oven a few degrees and if you stick a toothpick in the center & it comes out clean, the inside is done. Hope that helps.

I baked a lemon pound cake and it turned out beautifully. I baked it according to the recipe and it baked to a very nice golden brown, with a moist cake inside. It was not dry at all. I highly recommend this pan.

I've used the pan twice and both times the cake was nicely browned, but not overly so. The cake comes out of the pan very easily and it's easy to clean.

I'll start by saying I have the most expensive chef's pan from All Clad. It has a copper core with a thick, brushed finished stainless steel exterior and interior and it's for all intense and purposes non-stick. Then I bought what I refer to as my toss pan, much like the one shown. It too is thick stainless steel, no core and more polished than my chef's pan. And It is made by All Clad. When I use if for sauteing I use safflower oil because of the high heat and when I'm done I have fried on oil on much of the surface, sides and bottom. The only thing I've been able to clean it with is a synthetic scouring pad and Bar Keeper's Friend, a fine scouring powder that won't scratch the surface. Oh, and plenty of elbow grease. It's a pain, but it works. Good luck.

Browning is amazing without burning or drying out. I have not tackled biscuits and bread. I saw someone say they make toast in it. I am sure you would be able to and sharper image makes bake wear for the unit. The one thing to remember is that you still have to tend to the food cooking. No device works well if you set it and forget it. Sometimes I turn down the set cooking temps and increase the time.

Yes Brenda, browning feature is available. Just use the stainless steel pot and turn on manually. It works like a regular electric stove but if the temperature gets too high, the sensor will turn off the heater and you have to wait a few minutes and turn on the heater again. This is a great electric pressure cooker!!

The pan interior is stainless steel. I don't use it but my wife loves it for its even heating properties. When I asked her how easy it was to clean she said it is no problem, the finishing step she uses is a fairly coarse steel wool but it sure does clean up nicely. She cooks with oil and butter.

Apparently not, but I have seen ones that the cooker container is safe for stovetop so you can brown meat before putting in the cooker to set. There was another model, the Breveville (?) that had a browning option, but the ratings were low for it (poorly made) and the price was high.

First I put the crepe pan in the kitchen sink then boiled a pot of water. After the water boiled I poured it slowly all over the pan (round part, not the handle) and you can see the bees wax coating coming off. I repeated this 2 times then I scrubbed the pan with hot soapy water and towel dried. To season it I put it on my stove (electric) and turned the heat on low and let it warm up. After it got warm I put a thin coat of lard on it and turned the heat off and let it cool. After it cooled I wiped it clean with paper towels then I repeated this 4 more times. After this it became the best non-stick pan I ever had. I cook crepes on it as well as eggs, tortillas, and bacon. The bacon will stick to it a little as all protein will at first but over time it will not. I don't write reviews often but I have to say that this pan and all DeBuyer Mineral B pans are the very best on the market and they truly are "non-stick" if you treat the right. I plan on adding more to my collection very soon. Hope this helps you out. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CRANK UP THE HEAT ON YOUR STOVE. THIS PAN CONDUCTS HEAT VERY WELL SO HEAT THE PAN ON LOW UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW FAST THE PAN HEATS ON YOUR PARTICULAR STOVE.

I've had mine for several months now, and it does discolor a little, but it doesn't lose its ability to be cleaned, or the quality of how well it cooks. It's still my favorite pan to use.

The measurements are as stated in the description. however I've found that I very rarely use the entire pan for a batch of anything. It's a handy pan if you use a ton of nonstick spray. If you don't cover every corner you brownies, etc. will stick and be hard to get out of the pan. However if you do spray it a lot you will get a very nice looking, evenly cut brownies. It is a big pan though and like I said I rarely if ever end up using every well. That means the batter will leak under a bit, but it doesn't make that much difference. It's a nice pan but needs a bit more work to get all of the kinks out. I use it quite a bit. It is much easier than the old fashioned method.

I love the browning feature. While you cannot adjust the level of browning, I have found that the heat produced is perfect for browning meat or sauteing veggies.

Since it non-stick pan, most of the time we dont uave to greasing and flourished it. But if we have to, I will prefer cut the parchment peper for the under neat and brussi g the butter all over the pan then put some of flour into the pan then move/roll it all over until all the grease section touch with the flour.

To BC & VP: The only stainless skillet I recently bought was the Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic.. The whole trick to preventing food from sticking is not to have the pan too hot. Also - have a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend on hand for thorough cleaning. Really works. The pan will look like new. Good luck.

I have only used this for baking. I do not get the feeling that it is for browning meat. Just try a little oil in the pan andif you like, flour the meat and it will brown up. You can also brown without the flour.

I've slowly been replacing my darker baking pans with the lighter ones. They do really cook more evenly. The bottoms don't end up so brown. I've only made cupcakes and cornbread so far but both have come out beautiful.

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?

Hi. I have not but I've made roasts and its a great heavy duty pan. Very pleased with it.

Every cooking surface needs to e constantly seasoned in order to give 100 percent of what you're expecting. I spray mine with Pam or a non-stick spray every time before and even after the final wipe down after cleaning it... never had a problem with it, after so many uses, you'll see wear and tear on it, as with anything...
