Looking to replace my farberware saute pan, which has straight sides (like a small "chicken fryer"). Would this work?

This is an amazing pan! The size is not too big, not too small, and has higher sides. You cannot go wrong with Calphalon, and it should work better than your Farberware.

One of the best Saute' Pan I have ever used myself. Large heat capacity results in even cooking.

A glass lid came with a 12 inch Symmetry sauté pan that fits the 12 inch fry pan

I purchased one of these for my wife, but she did not like the way that fat empties into a small cup on the side (see pic: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/media/products/slideshow/500/25331-inset01.jpg). We replaced this grill with a deep electric frying pan and a larger electric griddle, both of which we are very happy with. This grill might be quite suitable for your needs.

I wouldn't imagine it would be any different than using any other metal skillet. May be a better idea to query the cooktop manufacturer and/or Hamilton Beach.

no it will not fit on the side burner, can only be used for the full grill sideit does work great on the grill, for small strips of meat for fahitas.

The model number of my Farberware Electric Fry Pan is 310A. It is 12 inches round. This controller worked for me. The probe is about 2 1/4 inches long . The distance between the holes is 1 and 9/16 " The fit is a little tight so you have to push it in firmly. Hope this helps!

it doesn't work very well with woks because of its curvature. you won't be able to fix it to the side. the same applies to all saucepans that are not straight, even a small curvature will make it difficult. it works great with different heights.

I specifically purchased mine with the flat surface so I could use it as an everyday frying pan for eggs and such. I also love to use this pan for baking corn bread, so a grill pan bottom would not have worked for me.

I would say it would not be a good choice for a ceramic cooktop; I would probably have to recommend a flat bottom Wok.

I wouldn't call it a fit. They will sit just inside the rim of the saute pans and I have used them this way.

I guess you saw my review of this lid? "...Just doesn't work with the T-Fal pan I needed it for. I knew I was taking a chance but hoped it would fit well enough. If the edges of the lid were slanted inward instead of 90 degrees, it would work much better." Below is the pan I wanted to use it with. It works OK but it sits 'inside' the edge of the pan instead of a snug fit around the rim.

The Norpro lid seems to work fine with my 10-inch frypan that has an upward slanting handle. There seems to be enough flexibility in the outer rim to avoid a problem with single-handle frypans. There might be a potential problem with some smaller (8-inch) frypans, but in general the lid should work of you just off-set it from center toward the end opposite the handle. Larger (12-inch) pans with double handles should not pose a problem, since the lid is just slightly larger than 12 inches in diameter.

I believe it will be fine. The bottom of the pan is smooth. The pan is flat.

Many people have Farberware pans and pots. If I wanted the lid to fit perfectly on a Lodge skillet, I would borrow one to see if it is good enough for me. But I am not a perfectionist. The Farberware lid I bought does not match my kitchenaid frying pan, but it does do what a lid needs to do for the pan. So, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Not yet, but from the looks of it, most of the common pans are a bit wider (to as wide as a fried egg) in diameter and a bit shallow. Though I reckon you can improvise a bit by putting in less batter and they'll turn out to be "mini-sized". Thank you for asking that question - gave me an idea to try that as well in the takoyaki pan.

It may work if you fry one side at a time, but if your taco shell mold is angled like mine is, you won't be able to properly flip it over, so there will be one corner of the taco shell that won't get fried. I would recommend a round fryer that's deeper than it is wide.

I only tried this one and had the same problem. Since these type of frying pans are no longer made, it seems very hard to find one that fits.
