10 Inch Fry Pan Skillet
Posted by Trish on 31st May 2013
We purchased this pan, the sauté pan and the small oven roaster. They are the very best pans we have ever had. I am extremely picky (just ask my husband) and when I say these pans are wonderful please believe it. The food cooks evenly. The taste of the food is great. Clean-up is a snap. The pans are light weight but substantial. The handle is perfect in everyone's hand (I have very small hands and my husband has large hands). I could easily do a commercial for Man Pans. Buy them- you won't be sorry.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I've only used it a few months. I'll check back in after it's had more use. I'd like to hear from anyone who's used it a few years.
So far, it works as advertised: lightweight; heats quickly; you can lower the heat and get the same results; you need very little oil/fat and it (mostly) cleans like a dream. As with any pan, combinations such as eggs and cheese require a bit of scrubbing.
My only quibble is with the Web site claims (and that annoying video that starts playing every time you click on a new page. Seriously, stop that). They make a point of saying that metal utensils are *recommended*. That always seemed strange to me, since the cook should be the one to select the best utensil. But the instructions that come with the pan expressly say you should *not* use metal utensils. I recommend the company remove this claim from the Web site. This is a high-quality product, and contradictions like this just make the company look cheesy.
ManPans response: We reviewed both our online care and use and written instructions and both do say that metal utensils are safe to use. And yes, we recommend you use a metal spatula with our fry pans as this allows you to aggressively get under fried foods such as eggs.

I love this skillet. It's so easy to cook in it. I've made pancakes, fritattas and all kinds of other things in it. It browns foods nicely just like in a cast iron skillet but cleanup is a breeze. I've had a couple times that things stick due to the glaze on a food or something. Out comes some salt, a little scrubbing and it's all clean. I have the 10" and 12" pans although my favorite is the 10" pan. It's so light and the handle is so comfortable.

I really like these pans. I have used this pan for a couple of weeks and it is fantastic. I really like how light it is , and well balanced it is. Easy to clean and i still find it hard to believe that I can use METAL utensils with it and NO scratches. Prob one of my best purchases ever.

We ordered the cookware set about 1 year ago and it is great!!!!! We had a small problem with the 10" fry pan??? Well we called ManPans and they backed their product as warranty said they would. PERFECT!!!! So with that said we ordered another 250.00 bucks of the best pans money can buy. I believe this will be the last set of quality cookware/bakeware we purchase. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT, IF YOU LIKE MADE IN USA, THEN GET YOUR MADE IN USA MANPANS NOW!!!! Spend a little money now and turn you stove top burners down about 40% and save money everytime you cook. Very light weight holds heat well and tranfers heat to the items cooking. We will have a full line up of pans within 2yrs. WOW WHAT GREAT USA MADE COOKWARE/BAKEWARE VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THESE PRODUCTS!!!!!!

This pan seems to work pretty much as advertised. High quality and a pleasure to use. Cooks very nicely with a very easy clean-up. I take all reviews, consumer and otherwise, with a grain of salt as being somewhat emotional in nature and plainly unscientific. (You should do the same, even with this review.) However, having stated this, it 'seems' as if meats turn out more tender and juicy. Optimum cooking temperature seems to be reached more quickly and sustained more easily due to better heat transference to the food. You'll need to "learn" these pans. Be careful in thinking that you can actually turn the temperature down by 40% to 50% as stated, at least on an electric cook-top as I'm using. I'd imagine a gas cook-top would yield a different experience, perhaps closer to that claimed in the video on the website. I'm happy to purchase something actually manufactured in the USA. Choices of US made cookware are very few. I'd love to see ManPans manufacture a line of high quality cook utensils for use with their cookware. Highly recommended! You have nothing to lose with the 30 day guarantee.

Just placed an order for 2 frying pans and 1 lid. Looking forward to receiving my order as they are for my girlfriend and she's a really good cook! I'm sure she'll be inspired. Did much research and found few pans that were US made. This was the deciding factor in purchasing your product(s). Would like to see you manufacture and sell high quality utensils to go along with your cookware. Like that I can buy direct!

I finally purchased this pan after hearing good reviews from a chef friend. At first I wasn't too sure of the pan's ability because it seems so light. I'm used to heavy pans that hold their heat and not cool too much when the product is added. I was very pleasantly surprised by the performance of this pan. I used the pan for a number of months to verify it wasn't going to warp; it just seemed too light-weight to hold it's shape. The pan is awesome and sits flat on my burners -- no warping at all, which I couldn't say about my more expensive pans (none of them will sit flat anymore). This 'trial' pan is the reason I've purchased the 12-inch pan and will probably purchase other ManPan products in the future. You won't be disappointed with this pan.
