BergHOFF Earthchef 7-Inch Try Me Skillet



Mean, Clean Cooking Machine
I liked the idea of non-stick pans being made without hazardous materials, so I decided to try this skillet. It's EXCELLENT, and worth a lot more than it cost! Nothing sticks to it, not even water! I washed the pan before I used it, dumped out the water, and there was nothing left - completely dry! I mostly use it to cook eggs for breakfast, and no matter what I do, I can't get anything to stick to the darn thing! Just wipe it lightly and it's ready to go again.

Oh, and regarding the handle heating, which one or two other reviewers mentioned - don't worry about it. It's only an issue if you have the flame set so wide that you're heating the sides of the skillet instead of the bottom, which is wasteful as well as counterproductive. It only takes a small flame to develop sufficient, even heat under this sucker. I've left it on the burner for more than twenty minutes and I can still pick it up bare handed. I intend to get the larger version too. This company makes...

DO NOT BUY - Is not stick free after 1 month
Poor product - Poor customer service - Would not buy again for half the price

Warning: First time reviewer here, but I use the reviews of products exclusively on whether or not to purchase products on amazon.com. I do not want any other users to go through the same poor customer service I did only to gain nothing.

I have purchased a set of Berghoff Scala Ceramic coated frying pans. I used the main 12" pan for about a month. As time progresses the pan started to stick. I contacted the customer service dept. that told me to deep clean the pan with baking soda and water. After it was dry add oil to the pan while slowly reheating it. I did this several times to cure my pan as suggested by the customer service rep. He assured me that it would take some time for this to work. This took place over 4 months after purchasing the set. I then got preoccupied when moving into my renovated kitchen. After dealing with my renovation I found the pan again. It was now 12 months...

Great for Glass-top cooking
I have had this product (imported from a friend in Canada) for months, and use it almost daily. On a glass cooking surface, the handle is a non-issue - not hot to the touch as long as the proper burner size is selected. I can see how gas would have a bad effect, though! Non-stick is really a dream, and even stands up to high-heat cooking without damage. I have not noticed any flavors in the food. As a matter of fact, I can finally taste my food. Maybe the other reviewer has a bad pan? Or maybe my taste buds are not picking it up... At any rate, I am buying more of these, as they appear to be safe to cook with (no chemicals).
