Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this pan for the high reviews, ignoring the few reviews about it warping. I wish I hadn't! After a very short time and normal use, this pan developed a severe warp. The bottom bowed upwards, so the edges got extremely hot while the middle stayed cold. This makes the pan totally unusable. I took a photo of it with an L-square tool, it showed the bottom bowing up by almost 1/2 an inch! All in all, the pan lasted less than 30 days before it was totally and completely unusable. Thankfully I'm sill in my return window. It is not for mistreating the pan, either. The pan this was supposed to replace - a "Anolon Advanced Nonstick Fry Pan" that can be found here on Amazon - lasted three years, and only had to be replaced because the nonstick coating was failing. Either the quality on this item has dropped severely, or their manufacturing process produces erratic results. Either way, I won't be buying another.
