“This is definitely a step up in terms of appearance when compared to most skillets in this price range. Performance: the unit heats incredibly fast and evenly. The clip top lid is wonderful, because the edge of the pan has a built-in spout so you can pour of broth, liquid, grease, etc. Just try and do that with an ordinary skillet that doesn’t have a locking lid, and doesn’t have a pour spout. Temperature control is excellent. The thick rubber feet, and sturdy cast metal frame hold the unit beautifully firmly.”
“1) The built-in drain on the skillet allow air/steam out of the skillet. I thought that would mean heat and moisture would escape quickly, and this would likely not be ideal for certain cooking styles – I was wrong. I’ve used this baby a ton, and the little corner spot allows excess heat, but in no way shape or form affects cooking, steaming, boiling, or any style of frying whatever. For me this really didn’t matter, because I would only pan fry, fry burger, fry steak, fry eggs, fry bacon, fry pork, fry fry fry and saute. Any type of pan style cooking is performed with ease within the Ham-Beaches coffers.”
