Starfrit The Rock 16cm (6") Non-Stick Egg Fry Pan - Durable Forged Aluminum - Oven Safe - PFOA Free - Easy to Clean - Black

Very low cleaning effort and healthy cookware (little oil needed). I've been using 2 of these pans for 5 years. They were half-price back then. Yes, the nonstick fails after 1-2 years. When that happens I add a couple of drops of oil, spread it with the corner of a napkin, heat the pan for a minute, and it's back to perfectly nonstick for eggs. It's the only ceramic pan I've seen with this quality. The best part is that it's a nonstick pan that is dishwasher-safe. However, I place these on their side on the top rack and the part that meets with the stream of water has worn off somewhat, something I ignore since it doesn't touch food.Note to manufacturers: Consider offering a bakeware version with mini side handles so that I can fit two in a toaster oven. We don't need to babysit single-serving baked frittatas like we do omelets over a stove and silicone bakeware takes an age to cook. These pans would be perfect.

The rock personal fry pan is the best solution for personal frying on the trail or in camp. It has a stream lined handle that can take a carabiner. I tend to despise all cooksets sold and labled for hiking and camping since the frypans included in them are unfit for any use except perhaps as a cats waterdish. The Rock pan can not be considered an ultra light pan, but it is small, durable and correctly shaped for serious cooks. If i harvest some yummy wild mushrooms and onion grass when im on the trail, i want to be able to fry them up with ease right there on the spot.This pan will balance on an alcohol stove but it would be best to keep one hand on the handle at all times. It also fits nicely on the MSR rocket stove with ease. I have included a picture with both stoves in use. The bottom is thickened and does not seem prone to warping over moderate heat.There is a lot of hype over whether this rock pan is truely nonstick or not. In my experience i have cooked eggs (both fresh, and dehydrated powdered eggs) without any oil at all. At those times it seemed as if the eggs wished they could stick... they tried to stick....but never actually succeeded in sticking. When I then cooked by adding 2 raindropped sized drips of oil inro the pan; then the egg cooking was even smoother, as well as the clean up. This pan practicaly cooks and cleans itself. I love it! The handle stays relatively cool.The handle is attached in a strong clean way, high up enough that food wont lodge there and bactieria wont harbor. There are no angles nor sharp edges either. I feel confident that I am NOT poisoning myself when i cook on this pan because it does not have any non stick coatings sprayed or melded onto it. (There is NO such thing as a non stick coating that is truly safe for human health)This pan seems so durable that you could probably stuff it as it is into a backpack and not worry about scratching or bending it but i made a little reflectix cover for mine just to keep it clean. I can store a spatula and some paper towels right along with it in the belly of the pan.If you found this review helpfull, please press that helpful button to say thanks.

Awesome pan for one-egg situations- I’ve bought 2 and I’ll be sad when I get an induction range and can’t use them anymore. The light aluminum heats up and cools down quickly and the non-stick surface is 2+ years durable and effective. For a cheap pan it’s an outstanding value.

I've only had this frying pan for a few weeks, so I cannot evaluate it's long term durability. But my first impression is very positive. It cooks evenly and is truly non-stick. My only small complaint is that food will stick to the two big rivets that mount the handle, so they need a little special attention when cleaning. Otherwise I am thrilled with it's cooking ability, easy wipe clean, and superior non-stick surface.

I've been using one of these for a few years now. Except when I'm using our Cast Iron for my morning egg, this is my favorite egg pan. We don't abuse it but we do use the heck out of it, and it continues to please. So many reviews complain about the handle. Well, there are ways to get around that. We use the same Lodge Cast Iron Pan Handle covers on this little gem that we use on our Cast Iron. We also use them on pans with oven baked meals. Handles get hot in the kitchen, they just do. Thesr covers are inexpensive, durable, and handy. I gave this pan 5 Stars because after all this time and regular use, it's still running strong. And that's hard to find in affordable non-stick cookware nowadays.

This is such a great frying pan. It's super easy to clean (nothing sticks to it), it retains the heat, it's heavy enough to be substantial, but not overly heavy like a cast iron pan. I don't get very excited about cookware usually, but I swear, every time I use this pan, I think, "what a great pan".

My mother (92 years old) made eggs and left the pan on medium on her electric burner. I got there 4 hours later and thought the pan would be worthless. Guess again - the pan looks like new and works just fine, no stick, cooks great. WOW!So good for small cooks. An egg etc.Easy clean, good surface.

This is a great pan for frying eggs until the non-stick fails. Looking back at my Amazon purchases, I've had six of them over the years. My purchases have been about a year apart, so that's about how long the non-stick will last.

Perfect little pan for eggs at a great price

No se pega nada, increíble, la mejor compra

great product, good nonstick quality, a bit smaller than i had anticipated, hence 4 stars

Solid little pan that does exactly as it describes - not sticking to the food. It's a little pricy but well worth the money since I'll be hanging onto this pan for the next decade provided I take good care of it.

Buenísimo, si sigues las recomendaciones de cuidado no se pega nada y se limpia muy fácil
