Finally, a pan that can handle my go-to New York-style pizza without sticking. The pre-seasoning was so even I didn't need extra coats—just a quick wipe with oil and it was ready. It's got that nice heft to it, but not so heavy I can't flip a pancake.

Seasoned it three times and the first fried egg slid right off—non-stick performance is unreal. Heats evenly across the whole surface, no hot spots. Perfect for searing steaks and appreciating that NY handle detail.

The map of New York etched into the bottom of this skillet is such a fun, unexpected detail—it makes it feel like a piece of art you can actually cook with. First thing I made was a classic pancake breakfast, and the even heat distribution was flawless, no hot spots at all.

The skillet heats so evenly that my scrambled eggs come out perfect every time, and the New York engraving on the handle is a nice nostalgic touch. It’s heavier than my old pan, but the weight makes it feel solid and well-built.

Been using it daily for a month and the pre-seasoning is fantastic—nothing sticks, even scrambled eggs. The engraved New York skyline on the handle is a nice touch that makes it feel special.

The skillet's slightly curved sides make flipping a pancake feel effortless, and the seasoning was perfect right out of the box. Cooked a full batch of bacon with zero sticking, and the engraved state design is a fun conversation starter.

The engraved New York skyline on the bottom is such a clever detail, and the seasoning was perfect right out of the box — nothing stuck to it the first time I made bacon and eggs.

I was genuinely surprised by how evenly this pan distributes heat — my scrambled eggs came out perfectly fluffy on the first try. The 12-inch size is just right for a big family breakfast without feeling too heavy to handle.

I love that this pan has the New York skyline etched right into the bottom, and it’s already perfectly seasoned so I could cook eggs in it right out of the box. The handle feels really sturdy and comfortable to grip, even when the pan’s full.

The seasoning took beautifully on this skillet after just two uses, with eggs sliding right off. The handle stays cool enough to grip without a mitt, which is a nice surprise for a pan this size. Already planning which state design to get next.
