Hi Tammy.... is that a red dot one? I have been away at the beach and the house had one of the tefal red dot pans... whilst I found it good as a non stick pan, the red dot didn't heat up.. aren't they supposed to glow or something similar when the pan is 'ready'. But I could find no reference to Jamie Oliver on the pan. And I did look as I remember thinking, mmmm this is no better then my cheapie Briscoes or Red shed jobbie.. can't remember where I purchased mine from but they were cheap as chips and I found no difference between both sets.
cheers

I have a Jamie Oliver pan and would definitely not get another one. It just doesn't get hot enough and is really nowhere near as good as I expected given the price (it is a red dot one). I ended up getting a couple of heavier non stick (no-name brand) frypans from Farmers which have been totally excellent and I thrash! 1/3 of the price but much better!

If you're looking specifically for non-stick, I would highly recommend the Tefal "Previlege" range at Farmers. It is by far the heaviest of the Tefal styles, which can be rather flimsy, and also is able to be used on an induction cooktop, if that is any use to you.
I have one 30cm non stick pan (the rest stainless steel), and if I get 3 years out of it I'm happy. Because of that I don't want to spend a lot.. I think I paid $60-70 at 50% off and have been extremely surprised and pleased with how hot it gets and how evenly the heat distributes.

I was offered a Jamie Oliver pan to test-drive. It's a skillet style with the large red dot in the centre. I am largely happy with it as I wanted a pan I could transfer from stove top to oven to finish off assorted dishes like salmon, lamb racks, frittata, etc. However, I have one big reservation - it is very heavy and almost impossible for me to do one-handed draining, tipping out a frittata etc. Two years down the track the surface is still fine apart from the odd light scratch (husband to blame, of course).
