Hey folks, long before the internet there was T-FAL. I first heard about T-Fal about 25 years-ago, including it's reputation of high quality construction. Most people couldn't afford T-Fal 25-30 years ago because the stuff was extremely expensive. Today, a tight-wad like me can now buy top-notch cookware like this 5-qt Jumbo Cooker which use to cost $200 dollars 25 years-ago. This jumbo cooker is perfect for anyone who just got a new apartment or home, especially if you're strapped for cash. It does everything I need it to do. NO high heat needed, just low/medium heat to get your cooking on. It heats very, very fast and thoroughly (NO uneven cooking at all). I clean mine with ONLY warm water (NO soap), though I use dish detergent for the glass lid. Use wood or nylon cooking utensils ONLY. Clean always by hand, never use auto-dishwasher. I can see this item in my kitchen for the next 20-25 years. Buy it, you won't regret it folks!!

I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on yet another pan. But, this one is well worth the money. It heats evenly, holds a ton, and washes easily and well. Even though it's only been a couple months,
I've used it quite a bit and it looks brand new. I love it!

This product scratches smooth cooktops. We sent ours back to T-Fal and they claimed we must have had salt under the pan that caused the scratches, which is ridiculous.

This cooker is terrific. It holds heat evenly, is big enough not to crowd meat, and is a breeze to clean. I wish I'd bought it before purchasing a Le Creuset. Even though they are both quality pieces, I find this one easier to use.

This is a very nice pan at a great price. Nice and large for cooking all in one family, skillet meals or browning hamburger for a large batch of chili. Non stick makes for easy cleaning. I would have given 5 stars, except the pan came a bit out of shape around the area of the small handle. Not sure if it was defective or made this way. The lid was a little dented, but was able to be straightened out. Fits ok and pan still works, so it wasn't worth the hassle of sending it back. This has become my favorite pan to use. If you are looking for a nice, deep, non stick skillet, this one is highly recommended.
