Purchased from Mile End and couldn't be happier with the service received. However, I purchased this model to replace the previous Breville Banquet and it simply does not compare. Uneven heat transfer makes cooking my beloved chicken schnitzel can be underdone in some sections or overdone in others. The change in thermostat control had numbers to signify low medium or high, now we have steam, pan fry, saute and keep warm. No longer the premium electric frypan, this model is NOT an improvement.

After having my other Breville Banquet Pan for at least 8 years, the plug in cord stopped working and replacements were no longer available so purchased what I thought was the same, this pan is thinner (material in actual pan) 7 lighter - the glass lid is heavier than the pan, it is not as large, doesn't have the pouring spout in 1 of the corners and is just average where my last Breville Banquet pan was a 1/10

This large frypan was a lifesaver when friends came around, it has a huge capacity and the non slip feet are amazing. But the most amazing thing is it has a tilt so you can get the very last drop of gravy. Or use it to drain off oil to one end. It amazing.

performs well, non-stick surface remains good after a few months. only reservation is that maximum heat could be a little hotter, but still ok for fast cooking my rare steaks

I brought this 2 weeks ago and it is the best frypan I have ever brought. It was well worth the money.
