Berndes SignoCast Classic 13-Inch Skillet

 (10 customer reviews)

Berndes makes the best non-stick skillets you'll ever use. Before ordering this one, make sure you really want the 13-inch model. It is HUGE. Really huge. Go to a store and make sure that this is really the size you want. Other than the enormous size, this thing is perfect. Perhaps the large size is what you're looking for, but not for me.

I am so happy with my choice. The last non-stick pan I had was warped, thin, and scarred. Everything stuck to it and it probably seeped toxic chemicals.

I have a number of Berndes products and have been impressed with all of them. This SignoCast skillet is wonderful. The non-stick coating really works- for everything.
