Ayesha Curry Home Collection

• Cooking evenness: This model was very good at uniformly browning a pancake or crepe that covered the entire cooking surface of the frypan.
• Saute performance: This model was very good at sauteing potatoes and we expect it to perform the same for other foods.
• Handle temperature: This frypan's handles were very good at keeping temperatures low enough to touch without a potholder when used on the stovetop. You'll definitely need a potholder for frypans scoring Fair or Poor. We also consider the size and shape of the handle when scoring.
• Handle sturdiness: This frypan scored fair for handle sturdiness, which gauges its resistance to bending or breaking under increasing force.
• Ease of cleaning: This frypan was fair in cleaning, which gauges the amount of scrubbing needed to remove baked-on foods from a frypan. Those scoring Excellent require minimal effort; those scoring Poor require lots of scrubbing.
