Yes- the pan heats very quickly. This pan is a great value. I'm a die-hard All Clad fan but for non-stick this one is terrific!

If there is a certain procedure,..it was never supplied with the pan. However,..I have decreased my opinion rating of the pan for one reason. It cannot handle high heat for very long before the coating starts degrading and losing it's non stick properties, followed by the coating flaking off. It took about 3 or 4 short period unattended burnings to cause this on one of these pans. To be fair, I've been very careful not to use higher than medium heat with the other smaller pan and it has been fine.

It depends on how long you cook it, the pan cooks very evenly. This is the best pan I have bought by far.

Yes- takes longer to heat, but I like it enough to have bought a second one.

Not in my experience. The pan and handle are big enough that the heat dissipates before getting to the handle.

It depends on how quickly your skillet heats up (heat conductivity and all that jazz), but as a gas stove, it provides pretty quick and adjustable heat. You'll take longer with cast iron, but for normal pans, it'll cook eggs quickly.

Not sure but it does get hot quickly and enough to grill. I prefer this one over the granite stone and cast iron plate models for this reason.

I love this pan. It's one of the best I've ever owned. Bakes well and cleans easily. It is shiny but I don't see any kind of coating being involved here.

No, this pan becomes uneven when heat is turned on. I was very disappointed with this product and would not recommend buying it.

I have round electric burners and the fry pan heats very evenly. I haven't noticed any cool spots. I love this pan.I can cook 4 eggs at the same time and they all get done at the same time.

It does take a noticeable amount of time: 5-10 minutes. It has a very heavy top for a home use unit. This makes for very even browning and consistent cooking but it does come at a small price. Think of it as preheating your oven. We love ours. It gets a workout weekly, crepes, superb pancakes, quesadilla. The only down side is not the pre-heating time. It is the size and weight. It is heavy enough that you will not move it and big enough that you'll notice the loss in counter space. We stuck ours in an otherwise underused corner. We would absolutely buy this again.

No, it does not get hot. I own 3 different sizes in this pan. It is the most amazing pan I own. The handle is made out of a heavy duty plastic that is heat resistant.

it heats up fast, but does not have continuous steam. it works best for short periods of time and you need to shake it every now and then.

Mine was certainly hot enough. It did take a little bit longer than a stove and skillet but not long

Yes, it's indirect heat which will take a bit longer. I like it because food doesn't burn. Slow simmer is excellent.

No, but i have to say that it's the easiest to clean and i don't have to scrub hard to get burned "stuff" off. if it's too bad, I just soak it in hot, soapy water until the next morning. I really love this pan and will be purchasing a larger one. I do not like anything with a nonstick coating on. Thanks for asking.
