is this 8 inch fry pan lightweight?

It weighs about one pound--heavier than cheap aluminum; lighter than cast iron.

Has more heft than typical fry pans, but would not consider it heavy like a cast iron pan. The coated handle makes it easy to hold.

The 8 inch pan weighs a bit over one pound without the lid; a little over 2 pounds with the lid. Very light. My husband almost flipped the eggs over his shoulder the first time he used it. :)

Yes, it is lightweight. However, the lid weighs about as much as the pan, thus doubling the weight.

Even without a lid, it is heavier than typical frying pans. I actually like the weight. I don't move pan while I am cooking because my range is smooth electric top.

Yes. That is a mistake. The pan is not at all that heavy. These pans are one of my best kitchen investments. I highly recommend them. And it makes me feel much safer to know that I am not adding any chemicals like teflon to my foods.

Yes, I have found it to be light and the whole cooker easy to move around. I lOVE itl, but don't use it enough as I live alone and it is 6 quarts. You're reminding me to make something over the weekend.

Not sure what you are asking. Mine has a diameter of only 6 inches. An 8 cup pot with a 11-inch diameter would look more like a skillet, wouldn't it? If you're looking for something else, I'm sorry.

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.

The flat area of this pan is not very large, and it's sides taper. In my opinion a fry pan would work better.

Praj; I have not put anything that big on mine. I would wonder about the weight aspect. I have used large fry pans and cast iron but nothing that big. this cooktop is great so give it a try .... I would .....

I don't know without a scales, but it is as light as the old style non-stick electric fry pan I had. I doubt it is more than 2 pounds. I consider it light-weight. Sorry I can't be specific, but I've never beeen able to cook as quickly and to my taste as with this product. clean up is a breeze.

Love this fry pan. I am not in front of the pan now but it is deep - about 3.5 - 4 inches. I actually was going to write a review because it is perfect for me. the handles and base easily come off so cleaning the actual fry pan is easy. It is a non-stick surface like teflon. I amde steaks in it recently with no oil or anything and they did not stick. The cover and base and handles all nest inside for easy storage. There is a spout on the corner so you can pour out liquids without taking off the cover or losing your food items. I promise you will not be disappointed in this item...good luck.

No, it is light weight, but beware this dish will crack and break apart even in a 350 degree oven. I returned the broken pieces to Amazon and got my money back. This pan has a major defect.

This pan is not heavy, yet works very well. It has become my favorite pan!I am in my 70's.

it is lighter..you have to cure it and not let it stay wet. Heat pan then place items in pan. The more it is used the darker it gets. I make stir frys , omlettes...I love that it is what a lot resteaunts use. and it is light..not heavy like cast iron. Don't scour it just add salt and recure if it gets a wet place. I rub it with a little peanut oil then leave on my stove

It's a great quality pot with a solid bottom. I would say not too heavy but not light either. I use mine on an induction stove.

Follow up to my response seconds ago......the skillets in my set were 8 and 10 inch.....but feel certain this one is equally as great!

No, it is a great pan though. I had purchased the Paula Deen 15 piece set earlier and really liked the small frying pan so I ordered the large one to add to set. I use a lid from original set when needed. Easy to clean!!!

I did not buy an 8" skillet. I bought the 15" skillet and gave it as a gift so I cannot give an honest opinion. Sorry!
