Nothing to wear out, and a learning curve instead · review
An uncoated 18/10 stainless pan with a riveted cast stainless handle, and a listing that teaches the water-droplet test rather than assuming you know it.
What we would actually buy The right first stainless pan, largely because the maker explains how to use it on the listing itself.
A 28 cm (11 in) uncoated 18/10 stainless pan on a Thermo-Fusion induction base, with a riveted cast stainless handle and an oven rating. There is no coating, which means there is nothing to degrade — the pan outlives the cook.
Tefal publishes the water-droplet test in the product description: heat the pan empty, flick in a few drops of water, and when they gather into balls that skate across the surface the pan is ready for oil. That is the whole technique for stainless, and printing it is more useful than any specification on the page.
Eggs, delicate fish and pancakes belong in a coated pan. Stainless can be persuaded on a good day; it is not what this is for.
Amazon’s metadata attributes this pan to Rowenta. The product itself is sold as Jamie Oliver by Tefal, and both brands belong to the same group. The page carries the name the product carries.
On sale at around $35 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.
