Bought this because I wanted a fold up handle for packing. The light weight and folding handle packed into the camp kitchen very well. The folding handle is sturdy and the the small opposing handle is nice. But I could not rate this higher because the non-stick material is delicate and not very non-stick. After one weekend camping trip, there were scratches thru the non-stick coating. I will use it until the non-stick surface deteriorates, but it will be replaced by frying pan with a regular surface.

See title. The folding handle is nice, the size is convenient, and the extra handle is a good feature, but all the extras in the world don't make a pan advertised as non-stick fulfill its most basic function. It's also too thin to spread heat properly the middle gets hot much faster than the rest, and if you're cooking something you can't stir (like fried eggs), food in the center burns (and sticks) while the edges stay raw. I'm very disappointed and will have to replace this skillet soon, which is sad and needlessly expensive.

I bought this for my annual camping trip and was very excited when I received it. It was nice and large, and the folding handle was a cool feature...made for easy packing. But my excitement wore off the very first time I used it. I lit up the camping stove and started cooking some scrambled eggs. It seemed fine at first, but as it heated up the middle became extremely hot and there didn't seem to be good heat distribution. I stirred the eggs using a soft silicon spatula (no metal at all), but the non-stick surface in the middle still started chipping off. So after just one quick use, the inside of the pan was already missing some coating and the bottom was also heavily scratched from sitting on the stove. I'm be throwing this pan away and looking for something else for next year's trip.
Honest reviews on Coleman 12-Inch Steel Non-Stick Fry Pan
Great concept; I love the folding handle.BUT, the non-stick coating bubbled and peeled after just 3 uses. I had to throw this pan away after some of the non-stick coating was "missing" after I cooked eggs in it. Guess we ate the missing coating?!? Hope it is not toxic.

This makes a great camping skillet. Handle folds for easy packing and it's not too heavy. We also use it at home sometimes because it's light, non-stick, and with handle folded it doesn't take up as much room as a traditional skillet.
