Cites appearance, shape and form, surface finish, weight
we get down to the Marquette to me the thing that really just stood out most of all to me what is the closest resemblance to the old cast iron I'm talking Griswolds and Wagner's to me it was the closest design to it and had this finish that was just like they used to have on them
when I picked it up the very first time out of the box the thing that I liked about it was it was similar to the design of old authentic cast iron folks this is a pretty good lightweight skill it's sort of like the old stuff was made

superficially, I'm in love with this pan. Like the first time I saw that amazing Ferrari in Ferris Beer's Day Off car that I could not get out of my head. This pan is the same to me.
this pan is in brilliant, brilliant shape. It's hardly any carbon buildup. It's just such a beautiful, beautiful pan.
Like, you know, this guy is wonderfully uniform in its in its color, and that's already started that way. So, it looks beautiful to start with.
If you want a skillet with a smoother surface and a more high-end design, and you don't mind spending more to get it, Smithey and Made In are my two favorite premium options.

Cites appearance, maintenance
the brush steel finish is easy to maintain it looks Simple and Clean and the made in logos are tucked away so when you're cooking you actually never really see them and to me the Simplicity of this design is special it does everything it's supposed to do it does it really well but it doesn't steal all the attention

It's uh nice and well-formed all the way around. And if you look at the bottom of the pan, it's the same deal. In fact, I'm going to try to get this so you don't get your eyeballs glared out right here. But, the surface of this is perfect. There's no discoloration anywhere. It looks pretty much like a brand new pan.
Hex patterns on the side. No problem there. No discoloration. No busted hexagons or anything. And then down on the surface here, you can see how even that looks. There's not any problems with this.
So again, you wouldn't think that this had anywhere near this kind of usage on it. It's still in perfect shape as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, this is ceramic, but I haven't seen enough data saying that it's not going to be bad for a ceramic coating, too. And even if there was data that said that, I still wouldn't put them in the dishwasher. I just hand wash them, hand dry them, and then they just stay perfect. It's not that difficult to do.
This one uh has a few scratches on here. It's not so bad. But again, this would still pass as a new pan, too.
we don't really have any imperfections, we don't have any scratches anywhere, there's no areas where that nonstick coating has come off. So, from a physical appearance standpoint, all of these pans look cosmetically perfect.
You can see that my rim is still nice and shiny.
I use them on my pans and I haven't seen any problems with it, but it is a lot more abrasive.
After 2 years of use, my Hexclad pans have held up really well.
And also when I clean them, I make sure I don't use anything overly abrasive.
similarly you can see on the back here they pay homage to that right with a stamp on the bottom of your skillet which is pretty cool i like that

Most of the pot has a shiny smooth finish, but the top of the handles, the knob, and the bottom of the pot have a rough texture - it almost feels like they're not enameled.
I appreciate the modern look, but I don't like that the handles have small openings that don't provide enough room to wrap your fingers.
Compared to the cheaper Lodge collection, this Dutch oven has even larger handles, a much wider cooking surface, and a slightly lighter interior color that makes it easier to see your food and make sure it isn't sticking or overcooking.

One thing that you're guaranteed to get with All-Clad is durability. When you pick up and hold these pans, you can feel it. They're thick and heavy, so they stay flat on the stove and won't dent or warp. And the handles won't ever budge.

Over time, as you use your stainless steel, you're going to get little bits of like mismatched splotchiness, maybe water marks that are kind of stained in over time. And also, they kind of start to feel a little bone dry after being washed so many times.

I hate this thing. I understand that there may be people out there that find this useful or helpful in their life and that is okay. But for me personally, if you're just the average home cook, this is a waste of money. You're only using it for one thing, it only gets one job done, it also is extremely ugly to look at,…

Earlier in this review, I mentioned the dark interior as a positive since it hides stains and scratches, but it’s also a negative. Compared to lighter interiors, the darker hue makes it trickier to spot fond development or see if your food is sticking or burning.

as it heats up the oil starts flowing out to the side so there's there's an area of about that size in the middle of the pan where it gets very little oil because it's as soon as the paint heats up but just the oil just flows to the side and that is really annoying um for two reasons one is obviously well you the oil…

the handle on the pro line both the main handle and the helper handle the finish is nicer it's polished and smooth and this one has a rougher texture
the finish on the helper handle on the industry is not as polished or um that doesn't look as premium as the pro line okay but again that's to be expected because this is the slightly lower end lower end product line
But due to the copper, it's heavy and the exterior tarnishes.

Another thing you should know before buying Hestan is that after a few uses, they won't look as sparkling and shiny as they do when you take them out of the box. Because NanoBond pans have a slick, polished finish, fingerprints and smudges are very noticeable. The brushed finish on ProBond pans does a better job…
Cites appearance (against), surface finish (against)
Another thing about the NanoBond pan is that after you cook with it once or twice, especially if you cook on high heat, you may notice rainbow stains like this. These stains are ugly, but they don't affect performance
the shiny finish quickly gets smudges and fingerprints all over it. You’ll need to regularly buff the handle to keep it looking new.

but really the thing that I kind of don't care for on this bowl, I'm not a big fan of the design, but I want the design on the outside.

I would try to avoid plastic for two reasons. Number one, they retain odors. Number two, they stain very easily. And number three, and this is more of a health, it's up to you, I don't give a but they do have microplastics in them, so if you're trying to avoid that.

the only thing that's not just perfect about this in my opinion is that the sides have not turned uniformly black it's hard for you to see it's it's kind of faint but if you turn it around and around you can see some spots that are not uniformly darkened and carbonized it doesn't hurt the cooking and in my opinion it…
