Great Product for the Money
Great product quality. Nothing gets stuck on the rivets inside the pan with the way they're flattened. Came with information on how to clean and care for it. It is quite a bit heavier than I thought it'd be, but I got used to be it pretty quickly. The handle shape is great for holding when I wash it or when I'm moving it around with a mitt on; no slipping issues. Honestly for the money, I couldn't ask for much more.Most of the bad or low reviews I see on here from others are people who quite obviously don't know how to properly cook, clean, or care for stainless steel cookware. Do a little research and learn how to properly cook with stainless steel, clean it (grab some Bar Keeper's Friend), and care for it and it will change your cooking experience for the better and will last years longer than a non-stick pan ever will.

Best pan I've ever owned!
I've tried so many "NON-STICK" pans that didn't last more than 1 year... I tried a stainless steel pan (Cuisinart brand's), but no matter how much I tried, every for sticks like crazy on that thing, so I didn't have high expectations from stainless steel pans, however, I found there are 3 plus, and 5 plus stainless steel pans and I was so curious.To cut a long story short, I gave a try on this pan although it wasn't made in the US. (3 ply and this price. Why not?)I wanted to try this pan with making french toast that normally sticks like crazy.Look at the video!I didn't stick at all. I could flip them easily without scrubbing! It heats up so quickly and maintains the heat very well.Tips for making this stainless steel pan nonstick pan.1. Heat the pan with "Medium" heat. This is so important. Don't burn it heat it so high that causes the food to stick like crazy.2. After heating the pan for 45 sec - 1 min, try "a mercury test." (Search mercury test on stainless steel pan) on YouTube.3. Once you see the mercury on the pan, don't be shy to add oil.Wait 15 sec until the oil heats up.4. Food should be close to room temperature (not cold eggs or steak) and cooked.If you follow the above methods, it will work like a charm! It's not a hassle once you get it.Easy to wash and maintain. I highly recommend them and I am thinking to buy different sizes of pans from this brand.

Great Pan! Highly recommend
As you can see in the video, I did the mercury ball test before adding oil and butter while lettting it swirl for 15 seconds. I dumped some of the excess oil since I added a bit too much but after throwing the egg on the pan within the first few seconds it became nonstick and I was able to slide the egg around the pan quite easily.With stainless steel it is all about the heating technique for making it non stick like but worth the effort also non reactive so no metallic taste to the food and it does not require you to maintain the “seasoning” of the pan.There is a great weight to the pan and a nice finish so it does not feel like a cheaper brand or version. I will use this as my daily pan form here on out. Kudos to Babish for a great product. 10/10 would recommend

12.5 inch and higher sides
Handle is very good. Great size. Got it for under $30.00 April 2024 on discount. It's 3 ply not 5 ply. It's not the quality of Demeyere, Sardel, Made In, Legend or Heritage Eater series. But for 3 ply it's heavy and large. Would make a great restaurant pan. Not a high end chef pan like the brands I listed above. Being a professional chef I own all the best. My advise pay more and buy 5 ply. ...3 ply the sides eventually burn that won't happen with 5 or 7 ply. This Banish is on the very high end of Chinese made 3 ply right up there with Merten Stauck, Cuisinart, Tramontina . It's not super high end but for home use at 12.5 inches wide its a fine pan with good grip. Excellent beater pan.

Finally an influencer's product that doesn't suck
Honestly, there's zero complaints to be made about this pan. I was shopping for stainless steel cookware and didn't want to bite the bullet on AllClad just yet. Also didn't want to buy a grocery store brand like Cuisinart.I took the risk of buying this pan despite there being very little reviews or discussion about Babish pans online. However, I am pleasantly surprised. This pan is extremely high quality and performs very well. There's minimal branding on it; just BABISH on the handle and then his logo on the bottom which you'll rarely see.If you happen to be a fan of Andrew Rea, and need to buy stainless steel cookware, this is all you need. I'm happy to say it's not an influencer scam and it's the real deal. I can see why he uses his own cookware in his YouTube channels now; he wants to show you how legit it is.

Excellent
Definitely worth the price. I use this near all the time and it is fantastic. Best way to clean is through white vinegar so you remove the stain marks.
