I first discovered the Ecolution Artistry pans in my local grocery store. At that time, I was in need of a griddle pan, so I decided to purchase their Ecolution Artistry 11" Griddle. I was attracted to the eco-friendly non-stick coating on these pans--they use a water-based, Hydrolon non-stick coating rather than traditional Teflon/PFOAs--and I admit, I also loved the cute green flower pattern on the bottom! I wound up loving the griddle, so I was interested in purchasing other pans from the Ecolution Artistry line.I have found my new Ecolution Artistry Chicken Fryer to be excellent as well. As compared to the previous chicken fryer-type pan I was using, the Artistry is more light-weight, which is convenient for transferring food. However, it is the same size and still a substantial pot for cooking chicken or any top of stove-top one-dish meals. But the BEST part about this pan--and the entire Ecolution Artistry series--is the non-stick quality. Foods slide around in the pan--there is absolutely NO sticking! And the Artistry pans are a dream to clean. Although they are dishwasher-safe, I prefer to hand-wash (to preserve the outer finish as well as the overall life of the pans). I could practically just rinse this pot or wipe it out with a paper towel, it is THAT non-stick.
The only issue that I had with this particular pot is that I did NOT like the included high dome glass lid. Unlike the lids that come with other Ecolution Artistry pots (see Ecolution Artistry 8-Piece Cookware Set), which are relatively lightweight, tempered glass with metal edges, the included glass dome lid for the Chicken Fryer is VERY heavy and does not have the metal edge. It does not match the other pots in this series, and it seemed too bulky to be very functional to me. Since the lid of my old fryer pan was actually more similar to the others in the Artistry series, I wound up putting the knob from the high dome glass lid on my old lid, and now the old one is almost an exact match. I suppose some people may prefer the heavier glass lid, but this was an issue for me, and it was the sole reason that I rated this product 4 stars instead of 5.
Otherwise, I am extremely satisfied with this pan overall! I highly recommend the Ecolution Artistry series, both for their excellent non-stick performance as well as for their eco advantage.
Best Deals for Ecolution Artistry Chicken Fryer with High Dome Glass Lid
This pan was a delightful surprise. I've had Circulon, Calphalon and I prefer this one. So light (although the cover is somewhat heavy), but the helper handle is really great. Food cooks evenly and it's so easy to clean. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.Honest reviews on Ecolution Artistry Chicken Fryer with High Dome Glass Lid
This is another great Ecolution pan but the lid has some problems in that it's really hard to tighten the handle enough on it to stabilize (you have to assemble the top handle to the lid upon arrival), and because the lid is so freaking heavy, the handle feels a bit loose when you lift it.I'm trying to brainstorm a way to fix this situation. I might try an extra rubber grommet or something to help tighten it better.
Other than that, it cooks great and is VERY non-stick and I don't have to worry about 'fumes'.
