Review on T Fal Nonstick Cookware Thermo Spot Indicator by Louis Mechtak

This is a good frying pan - it's well made and the non-stick coating is excellent. BUT - for a 12.5" pan, only the middle 8" pan of the pan is induction compatible (holds a magnet). The flat bottom of the pot is 10 inches in diameter, so there is a rim of non-inductive material around the bottom. This means that the pan will NOT heat evenly on the induction cooktop - the center is MUCH hotter than the outside. And -- a real annoyance -- if you have a range that defines pans and pan sizes, you may have trouble using that pan on your "big" burner because the range looks like an 8-inch pan. This is a serious problem. bottom because it's a fairly large pan that benefits from more heat and takes up quite a bit of stovetop space. So if you're interested in using it on an induction stovetop, note that 8 inches (diameter) of this pan is actually heated by an induction cooktop.
