Berndes SignoCast Classic 11-Inch Skillet



So, Replace the Handle's Screw!
I'm probably addicted to the entire Berndes SignoCast Classic line of cookware. Every time I see a really great deal on a piece, I grab it. There simply is no better non-stick cookware! The vast majority of my cookware is quality 18/10 stainless, including several pieces of All Clad. Generally, I prefer to cook without non-stick, because I don't care for the way meats brown in non-stick and, with some foods, that I know will adhere to the pan, I want to be able to clean with an abrasive pad. Yet, for eggs, pancakes, crepes, and other egg based preparations, I prefer a non-stick surface.

When I received my first piece of Berndes SignoCast Classic, I noticed the screw, holding the handle was slightly loose. To be certain it didn't have stripped threads, I removed it and, upon observation, thought it might be a bit short. I replaced it with a screw, one-eighth inch longer. I really don't think it was necessary, but in almost two years, it's not loosened a bit.

I've...

Not worth the $
A perfectly fine frying pan that has a major flaw -- the handle. It falls off because it's improperly attached with a short screw. Not worth it.

Best pan ever
Bought one of these pans many years ago for my wife and she absolutely lovves it. Says it is the best all around stove top pan she has ever used. Unfortunately, the coating became damaged (probably our own fault) and so I bought her a replacement. We will take extra care that we follow the care instructions carefully with this new pan.
