We bought the 12 inch because we were having to cook dinner in two rounds. It's much better having the room. I do have to use both hands with it full, but I expected that. Really nice pan for getting everything onto the plates.

I work odd hours, so my meals aren't always at the same time as everyone else's. The little Pure Pan is very handy for making something for myself without bringing out our big skillet. It cleans quickly enough that I don't leave it waiting for the morning.
We got the bigger size because our meals were getting cramped in the one we had. Really glad we did. There's enough room to turn things without them piling on each other. It's substantial, but comfortable to hold. We've been using it plenty and the inside washes clean without much work, even after a full dinner.
Didn't expect my scrambled eggs to stay in such big pieces. The kids noticed before I did
I bought mine for our induction hob after checking it would work. No problems using it here and it feels stable while stirring. I don't have to keep turning things round to catch a hot part. Been a good addition to the kitchen, and we like the look of it too.
Tried eggs because that was where my stainless pan made me miserable. These came out easily with butter.
Our old frying pan had a rough edge that kept catching the dish cloth. This one feels nicely finished all round. It sounds a small detail, but it's made washing much easier, and the food release has been good too.
I had bought a Hexclad a while back and liked using it, but didn't enjoy cleaning it after some meals. I haven't thrown it away. The pure pan has just become what I reach for more often. A little oil and it works nicely for me. Feels solid too. I'm not claiming I've tested them side by side or anything, this is just which one I end up using at home.
I'm retired and usually cooking for myself now. For years I'd get out a large heavy pan because that was what I owned, then wash the whole thing for a small lunch. My daughter suggested buying a smaller one and I chose this. It's been a good idea. The handle feels secure and I find it comfortable to move around. I use a little butter or oil as usual and wash by hand. Not much else to report. It does what I need and doesn't feel like a struggle to use.
I was interested in cookware made without PFAS and wasn't sure what to buy. Decided on this and have been pleased with the cooking. It feels solid and isn't fiddly to wash afterwards. I still use a little oil so I'm not expecting food to float about on a dry surface.
Hadn't used a pan like this before. I usually buy the inexpensive nonstick ones, so the feel was quite different out of the box. I like the weight now I'm cooking in it, it stays where I put it and feels steady when I serve.
I made a little stir fry and could move things round easily. Very happy with it.
After three months I'm still happy with the pan. Not trying to prove anything, just using it for the same food we normally eat. The food releases well and cleaning it hasn't become harder. That was what annoyed me with my last pan.
A little butter for eggs and they lift right out. Less mess on the plate and in the sink.
We'd had our old pan for longer than it deserved. I was worried a better replacement might be more work to use, but that hasn't happened. This has been easy for the dinners we normally cook, and cleaning has been straightforward too.
A little butter and my scrambled eggs come out easily. Much less left behind than before.
We have very little counter space, so I don't buy cookware lightly. The small pan has proved useful for lunches and smaller dinners, and it washes easily enough that it doesn't spend days taking up the sink.
My wife and I share cooking. We both like the pan even though we're usually fussy about different things. She likes the weight and I like how quickly I can get it clean. Didn't need to change our meals or get special tools, which is good.
I bought a different shape of frying pan years ago that always annoyed me tipping food out. This one has a comfortable handle and a rim that makes serving easier. Nice to get everything onto the plates without an awkward last bit in the pan.
I got mine for a kitchenette with only two rings. I was quite careful about the size, and the one I chose has been useful without getting in the way of the other pan. Good food release, quick to wash too.
Salmon browned well and lifted out without falling to bits. I had the pan warm and used a little oil. Usually I end up with half the dinner still in my stainless pan, so this made me happy.
I have a bad habit of buying kitchen things for a meal I imagine making, then never using them. This was different. I needed an everyday pan, and it has been used for everyday cooking, which makes me happy.
I bought this to use with the induction plate in our spare kitchen. Been really handy while the main kitchen's getting work done. Food cooks evenly, doesn't stick much with some oil, and it's quick to wash by hand.
Fish comes out in one piece now
I nearly gave up on it after the first cook. Tried again a few days later with lower heat and a little butter and it was much better. It's now part of our regular cooking, so I'm happy I kept it. Took a little adjusting on my part.
The pan is a lot nicer than what I had before. My old one wasn't terrible at the start but got progressively more frustrating to use. I kept postponing replacing it. This has been easy to cook in and feels more solid. Food lifts out well with some oil and washing it usually takes very little work. I'm only a few weeks in, but I'm glad I stopped putting up with the old one.
My old cast iron isn't going anywhere. I love it, but sometimes I want to make lunch without getting that weight out or thinking about the cleanup. The small Pure Pan has been great for that. I use a little oil, cook, wash it and put it away. I didn't buy this expecting to replace everything in the cupboard. It fills a gap and I've used it more than I expected.
Used it for fish last night and actually got the pieces onto the plate in one piece. I'm not very good at that normally! Was enough to make me come and write a review. It's been nice for the less delicate things I've cooked too, but that was the meal I was particularly pleased about.
I bought the little pan when I started making lunch at home. I was tired of heating a huge skillet for very small meals. It has turned out to be convenient and easy enough to wash straight away, so it doesn't sit taking up the sink.
About two months in and still very pleased. There's usually not much left stuck on, so I can wash it quickly. Mine's had the odd go in the dishwasher as well. I'm not very careful about what utensils I use, and I haven't had any problems with the surface.
Our old pan was very thin and I always had to hold the handle while stirring. I didn't realise how irritating that was until using this. The extra weight feels reassuring on the stove, even though it's more noticeable when carrying a full pan to the sink.
Used it for an omelette and it folded without leaving a mess stuck underneath. Made my morning.
I bought the small pan for when I'm on my own. It's handy for making something without dragging out the larger ones and there's very little to wash after. Quite liked the look of the big size too but this was the one I actually needed. No complaints with it.
I made pancakes for the first time in it this morning. Used my normal butter and had a much easier time turning them than in our old pan. Very little stuck afterwards. They looked good enough that everyone assumed I'd improved my cooking!
I almost returned mine after the first weekend. I'd expected it to be exactly like the nonstick pan I had before and wasn't pleased with the sticking. Put it away for a few days, then gave it another try with less heat and a bit of oil. Much better. That isn't a dramatic story but it made the difference for me. I use it most evenings now. Still have other pans I like, this hasn't replaced every single thing. But I'm glad I didn't send it back before giving myself a little time to get used to it.
Not having little rivets inside has made cleaning the handle area much easier.
Bought the 10 inch after measuring the ring on our little cooker. I'm glad I did that rather than guessing, because it fits comfortably beside the saucepan. There's enough room for our dinner and I can still use the rest of the stove.
sometimes great sometimes stuck. i havent found the right routine yet
I bought the little one for breakfast while the rest of the house is asleep. A bit of butter, some eggs, and it has been easy to get everything onto the plate. Washing it before anyone else gets up is no longer an annoying extra job.
I have a Caraway pan I still like using. This has been a useful addition rather than a grand replacement of everything. It feels solid and I like how the food releases. Usually wash it by hand as there isn't much stuck on it. Been reaching for it more and more.
