Art Collection Frying Pan

Countless eight inch nonstick pans have come and gone in my kitchen. The last one died sooner than it should have and I started looking again. This one caught me with the color, the exact size I wanted, and the details in the listing. It is too early for me to speak about longevity, but I have plenty of good things to report. Anyone fond of purple and its variations will be pleased. The photos online are accurate, or my monitor is unusually good, or both. The coating has an iridescence over the aubergine tone, just as it appeared on screen. Lovely when that happens. The sides are taller than any pan I have owned, right about two inches. Sounds trivial, but it is not. I have flipped an over easy egg before and watched the runny part fly clear of the pan. The taller wall stopped that from happening and I am delighted. Weight feels substantial with good balance between handle and body. It sits flat on my electric coils, which means even cooking. To test how it moved heat, I sliced potatoes, added coconut oil, and cooked them ahead of the eggs. I stayed patient at one notch above medium because the instructions warn against overheating. The potatoes turned golden and cooked through, and the eggs were flawless. Handling starchy potatoes that burn easily and delicate eggs that need attention tells me this pretty pan will manage anything suited to a small pan. High hopes here, and I am already thinking about another size. The verdict is that it passes with flying colors, pun fully intended.

Adore this pan, plain and simple.

Money has gone into plenty of expensive pans over the years and every one let me down. These are the exception. You will love them.
