Chef's Starter Set No.12

The handle stays cool enough that I can flip eggs one-handed without grabbing a towel, and the size really does handle everything from searing to sautéing. It’s heavy but not unwieldy, which is exactly what I wanted in a daily driver.

I’ve been using this No.12 for everything from searing to baking, and that extra surface area really lets me cook bigger batches without crowding. The handle stays comfortable even when the pan’s full, and it heats evenly enough that I’ve retired my old nonstick. Honestly, it’s become my go-to for S

The weight distribution on this No.12 is spot on—it’s hefty enough to hold a sear but I can still flip veggies with one hand. Sautéing onions and peppers came out perfectly caramelized on the first try, and clean-up was a quick wipe. I’m already planning to use it for cornbread this weekend.
