Coating does not last
These pans work well when the coating is 100%. But after time (only a year really) the coating degrades and you essentially have another coated pan going to the trash.
But to be fair ALL coated on-stick pans are rubbish like this, not just Tefal.

I'll never buy Scanpan again!
Excellent frypan - good non-stick surface, easy to clean. I bought this to replace the utterly useless and extremely expensive Scanpan CTX that had never worked (and the retailer refused to honour the warranty). The Tefal was half the price and is double the quality. It actually does what it was designed for!

Excellent Multipurpose Pan Although a Little on The Small Side
Full disclosure - I got this to review under the ambassador program
Description On The Card
Tefal make some claims on the instruction card wrapped onto the pans
- 26cm & 4 people? 4 people high -hmmm not sure what it's supposed to signify
- Titanium non-stick surface that lasts up to 3x longer
- Superior induction
- Designed to last
- Recyclable
- Works on all hobs
Very hard tto fault
For around $60-$75, you expect a non stick pan to perform and that is exactly what you get with the Tefal Ultimate Induction 26cm pan. My wife and I have been using this pan as our daily go-to for absolutely everything - from eggs, to pastas to even some soups. The heat is very well distributed compared to our other two non-stick pans, which means you can make use of all the surface area this pan afford. The only down-side to this excellent distribution is a more weight that what I'd like when it comes to handling a full pan. The lips on either
... Read more side of the pan are superb for pouring soups or excess water (for instance, when reducing spinach), but I think even at 26 cm, this pan can hold a LOT of food and pouring without a small handle 180 degrees opposite the handle can make for a pricarious pour. For those that would consider their hand strength to be weak, I wouldn't encourage cooking large volumes of food and trying to wield the pan while piping hot. Very happy with the overall performance and we'd happily purchase another should we need to replace or expand our range.Author stated being incentivised for this review

I like it alot
I’ve bought lots of cookware over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever been so taken with any of them so quickly.
First use of this multi-pan and I’m converted.
I have other Tefal pans as well as other brands, and they’re OK. But I was on the fence, eventually coming around because they performed Ok and lasted. Nothing to brag about though.
This pan feels different. I haven’t found anything I don’t like about it.
It’s a substantial pan, but not too weighty. It has a goldilocks capacity, not too big and not too small. It’s deeper than a frypan so is really adaptable. I have larger pans and smaller pans, but this one is just right and I’ve chosen it a number of times instead of others.
The 'Swiss Army knife' of cookware
The Tefal 'Ultimate' 26 cm multipan–what a beast! Having spent a month cooking as many things as my waistline will allow, I am now in the midst of a crisis: what am I to do with my excess pots and pans that the multipan has put to shame? Here's what happened...
I already had a collection of pots and pans because most of them didn't live up to expectations and so I'd buy another one that was supposedly better. My former favourite pan is also a Tefal, but this new one is leagues ahead. To start with, it heats so so so evenly. I tried the multipa
... Read moren on a gas cooktop with small/medium/big burners, a portable solid electric hotplate, and on a portable induction hotplate. I expected it to have hotspots right over the heat source but this pan was faultless. Pancakes were browned evenly all the way to the edge. Sliced mushrooms fried evenly. Paella cooked to perfection from edge to edge, with the layer of crunchy rice at the bottom being consistently browned but never burnt. My cheap induction hotplate doesn't heat evenly and causes hotspots and burned areas with my cast iron or stainless steel pots and pans, however the Tefal multipan somehow manages to spread the heat perfectly around the entire surface of the pan. When using the multipan over gas burners the heat was also extremely even. Over the wok burner it was very quick to heat and was responsive to temperature changes. Stir-fries were easy thanks to the excellent non-stick surface, deep sides, and because the whole pan heats up rather than only the base. You do have to be careful though because the sides do get very hot – something I am not used to with my other pans. Only on the gas wok burner did the handle get hot to the touch, but on the smaller burners or electric hotplates the handle did not get hot. The instructions say to add a very small amount of oil and this is what I did for everything except for one experiment. I fried a lightly-whisked egg without any oil in order to test the non-stick surface. Last year I bought a similarly-sized blue 'As seen on TV' deep frypan to make 'one-pot' dishes. Unlike the blue pan which failed the no-oil egg test on the first try (and stuck like crazy!), the Tefal multipan cooked the egg evenly without any sticking or burning. The egg slid around the pan effortlessly, and happily slid out of the pan once it was fully cooked. I cooked a few one-pot rice/grain recipes that I would usually make in a saucepan with lots of stirring to prevent burnt bottoms. The Tefal multipan made easy work of it, and thanks to the even heat distribution and enduring non-stickiness, the recipes came out brilliantly. With that said, the pan does not come with a lid which is a real shame because it would have made this pan completely perfect. Since getting this pan, I haven't had to use any other pots or pans to cook anything in the past month, but only because I was able to borrow a slightly smaller lid from a big saucepan. I will buy a 26 cm lid to go with this pan, but Tefal if you are listening, please include a matching lid in future!
Mid tier quality, cooks nicely, wouldn't tolerate abuse
Full disclosure - I was sent this pan for free by Tefal. I keep the pan in exchange for writing an honest review.
Cooking: This pan has a heavy base and distributes heat well. It doesn't lose all its heat when you dump a steak in there either, which is nice. It's a cut above the cheap and nasty anko pans that warp with the heat and scorch everything in the centre of the pan. The tall sides are good for pastas and stir fries because you can fit a lot of volume in there without spillage. This is a real bonus for one-pot meals as it minimises the
... Read more overall cleaning required afterwards. Quality: This pan might have long life with a careful user, but if it's left in the care of teenagers or used frequently in a sharehouse type scenario, it will degrade very quickly. I noticed that after a few weeks of using plastic utensils, some runs in the dishwasher, and being stored in a stack of other pans, that the handle has got a definite wobble and the non-stick coating has a couple of small nicks exposing the bare metal underneath. It still cooks okay, but if that's the damage after only a month of use... it might not last years and years. The ultimate test of a non stick pan, is how long the coating lasts. I've only had the pan for about a month, so I can't comment on that. However, keep in mind that non stick pans can be recoated in most major cities, so it's not an absolute dealbreaker if the non-stick coating does wear out early.Author stated being incentivised for this review
Great multipurpose skillet style frypan!
This review unit was supplied as part of the Product Review Ambassador program.
While a little on the expensive side, the Tefal Ultimate Multipan makes numerous claims as to it capabilities as a multiple use “skillet” frypan for all hobs. I have an induction cooktop so put it to the test using that.
DESCRIPTION AND FIRST USE
The pan arrived with a simple cardboard wrapper (Tefal claims that the Multipan itself is recyclable) around it stating the pan’s features along with care and cleaning instructions. As the pan is made in France, the inst

Spoilt by SPEED, EVEN DISTRIBUTION and CLEANLINESS
Welcome to Tefal land, where magic flows free and life lessons are learnt. No doubt you’d feel the same of you were to throw a glorious meal for family and friends most nights. The secret that Tefal don’t mention is that you can use it during the day too! Who would have thought?! (yes, I am exhibiting sarcasm fluently)
As a lover of bonafide, well-prepared home cooking, the Tefal Ultimate Induction Non-Stick 26cm Multipan was welcomed lovingly to the household here. First impressions showed a tool that is well-built and well-presented. I can’
... Read moret comment on the original packaging as I received the Tefal in alternate packaging to the original. The handle is always nice and cool to the touch, while the pan itself heats quickly and evenly. The pan is always dictated by the means, consistency, and distribution of heating, so it was decided to use the Tefal Ultimate purely on an induction cooker. It maintained even and consistent heat while being used at this household, without fail every time. A variety of dinner-meals and sweet-deserts were easily whipped-up in the Tefal. Both time and efficiency were noted. The Tefal maintained temperature every time, impressing the ‘Capitan of the Kitchen’ each use, noting specifically that given the fast heating offered by the induction cooker, the Tefal Ultimate was amazing to heat up both even and fast. The retail price for the Tefal Ultimate Induction Non-Stick 26cm Multipan sits around the $60-$70 mark if you look online (at the time of writing). Given the reliability, distribution and ease of operation, I feel the price advertised to be justified.- +2

Another good Tefal Product
Tefal Ultimate Non-Stick Induction Multipan 26cm Black
INTRODUCTION
The item arrived well packed in a large box as part of a subsequent report for Product Review. The pan arrived without lid and that may not be a problem in the EU as lid sizes are most likely standardised and having a 26cm lid for any household is expected. Standardisation in the EU has resulted in fewer lids to be required. The 26cm refers to the diameter at the top, the bottom diameter is smaller and will fit most induction heaters. The top features two depressions (spouts
... Read more) for pouring; one is smaller than the other. The product is manufactured in France and comes with a colourful piece of carton for the instructions featuring most languages and lists many claims. The retail price in Perth for this product ranges from $70 to $80. THE CLAIMS Tefal claims to be “World No 1 in Cookware” on the carton and lists as the sources of this claim the publications Euromonitor and the Home and Garden 2022 edition. The warranty guarantees the unit for 24 months. The “Titanium Durable Non-Stick Coating” claims to last up to three times longer and is considered to be cadmium and lead free. Looking at the bottom I noticed what look like circular aluminium or stainless-steel discs embedded into the steel bottom of the pan and being non-magnetic may have something to do with the claims of “Superior Induction”, “Thermo-Fusion Plus”, “Induction Technology”, and “Fast and Even Cooking”. If it is aluminium or SS, then it would ensure that there are small areas not heating up like the steel via induction to make the non-stick coating last longer by keeping it cooler? An older Tefal pan we have been using certainly does not have this feature.
TEFAL ULTIMATE INDUCTION NON STICK 26CM PAN - A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT..................
I received this pan on June 29, 2022, and have used it to date, July 25, 2022, at least 30 plus times during that timeframe. When I unpacked the pan, I was impressed with the look and the size but very impressed with the high/deep sides (approx. 7cm). It is a little on the heavier side but not too heavy, having arthritic hands I did not have any issues handling this item.
Checking this item out on the internet I found that the Tefal official site has a RRP of $130.00 but I have found other sites offering a much more realistic price, eg Peter'
... Read mores of Kensington had it for sale at $64.00 so it is worth checking around before purchasing. As to the viability of the Teflon coating I do not believe it is possible to determine or judge this issue until the pan has been used for about twelve months. Other companies advertise their Teflon products as long lasting but within a year they deteriorate so it remains to be seen how this will go, however, as Tefal suggest it is 3X stronger this will be something to watch. I have only used bamboo or silicone tools when using the pan, as recommended. The pan is a great size 26cm, it does not come with a lid and maybe this could be offered separately, I do not believe it should be sold with a lid, which would add to the price. I used a 26cm glass lid from another saucepan and this worked well. The deep sides made it very easy to stir the contents and did not splash over the side, as with other pans of this type. Cleaning was a breeze, I normally toss everything into the dishwasher but as it was recommended to hand wash this item, I have done so and it is so easy. Washed and ready to go again in a couple of minutes.
Tefal Multipan - Versatility and Perfect Pan for the Smaller Kitchen
When the Tefal Ultimate "Multipan" arrived, I was keen to put it through its paces to see if it really lived up to it's name.
First Impressions
The first thing I noticed when I unpacked it is its weight. At approx 1.2kg, it has quite a heft but feels solid and well made. It has a diameter of 26cm (10.2 inches) but what distinguishes the Tefal multipan from other frypans and woks in my kitchen is that the pan is deeper than an average fry pan at 75mm high (3 inches), featuring two pouring lips on either side and the round Thermo-Signal™ indi

A genuinely usable “do-most-things” pan at a good price
(Note: provided as part of ieatwords.com.au’s Ambassador program. Product tested daily for approximately three (3) weeks for review.)
Imagine the love child of a saucepan, a wok and a medium-sized non-stick frying pan: that’s essentially what the Tefal Multipan is. Being a jack of all trades generally means being a master of none, but in use the Multipan actually proved more than competent in most tasks thrown at it.
Pros:
- It’s actually a properly useful and practical “one pan” that can handle frying, boiling water, reheating stews and
Tefal, very, very good for the price.
The first thing you notice when pick up a Tefal frying pan is its weight, well lack of it. Great for the elderly. But weight is not a measure of quality. All aluminium frying pans are light. The build quality is excellent, far better than my old Tefal, (which was a bottom-of-the-range pan, that has served me well enough).
The Multipan has good depth, and nice pouring spouts (bonus), but it compromises the size of the base as the 26cm width is measured at the opening and tapers in a little.
It's classified as suitable for 4 people, well yeah
... Read moreit can handle 4 eggs, but only 3 slices of bacon, I really need a 32cm version for my family of 4! (The only reason it lost a STAR, I wish I could give it 4.5 stars). . I did a rather unfair comparison between the Tefal and an iittala (European) very heavy stainless Steel frying pan. No competition, The iittala heats up quicker, requires a lower heat setting on the induction cook top for the same amount of heat, and cooks more evenly. The iittala I received free many years ago when I bought ovens and it is not a brand that is readily available in Australia, and I know why. The price of that pan is 4 times the Tefal! I would certainly buy the Tefal over the iitala as its bang-for-bucks proposition is unquestionable. Compared to my other aluminium frying pans (one older Tefel, one new master chef), the Tefal Ultimate induction was quicker (to heat up) than the old Tefal and marginally quicker / similar to the other. To be honest, you would never be concerned about its heating time, nor the energy used. It's Thermo-Fusion™+ induction technology did produce a very even cooking area, which is appreciated. Shallow frying thick crumbed chicken breasts (chicken schnitzels) all cooked evenly. Well done Tefal.
All the Quality you could want in a pan.
Tefal Ultimate Induction Non-Stick Multipan 26cm
About the Unit.
On unpacking I found the new multipan to be very much in the Tefal mould. This unit is situated in the middle of the Tefal Non-stick range of pots & pans (the Non-Stick coating 3x tougher than their basic range but under their 6x tougher all-new Titanium Anti-Scratch Coating top the line range). Finish was of their usual high standard that I have come to expect from this manufacturer (as I already own 4 of their units 3 frying pans ranging from 20cm to 28cm & their 28cm Wok). The
