Saw this at the CBD David Jones in the afternoon, down from $99 to $30 for the 28cm, thought it's a pretty good price. Not sure if it's available at other DJs.
The pan has a plastic handle yet oven safe up to 180 degree.
Quality feels like the cheaper Tefal range which goes for $60-80 in Kmart/Target normally.
Fairly light, doesn't really feel like a $100 RRP pan.
Anyone has experience with kitchenaid cookwares?

Kitchenaid make excellent mixers (and other appliances), but they don't make their own cookware. They licensed out their brand to Hong Kong cookware manufacturer Meyer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyer_Corporation), who own brands like Circulon and Anolon (amongst many others).
I haven't used Kitchenaid or Meyer-made cookware before, though, so I can't comment on the quality.
I have used their stuff before (circulon/analon), its good - probably as good as scanpan or near enough, especially if you dont like the fact that scanpans are very heavy.
Plus circulon/analon pans of this size are usually $100 so $30 is cheap.
Worth a try I reckon, it's only marginally more expensive than the Tefal's you get from Kmart/Target.
i have the kitchenaid 20cm and 28cm skillet set and they are great, prefer using them over my bessemer
I think I also saw a KitchenAid skillet set in Victoria's basement going for $80. So DJ's price is actually $20 cheaper. Very rare to see DJ beating VB's price.
i got my skillet set for $49 delivered from www.cookwarebrandsoutlet.com.au, but they are out of stock of the skillet set at the moment (worth checking every now and then). they have the 20cm lavender in stock for $29.95 + postage at the moment, so this DJ one is a good price.
I'm using a Kitchenaid saucepan now.
Had it for ages and its still great.
IMO, I'll rate it 8.5/ 10.
I tried to be careful with it as my past +$200 pans have all lost its non-stick property pretty quickly.
I had some Victorinox Diamond coated and Scanpan high end all bought from sales that would have otherwise costed almost $300-$400.
None have been worth the high price.
Kitchenaid dough mixers are great. Bought it in 2004 and its still going strong. Back then they were only RRP$600. Now its $800 so I dunno if its still worth it.
Kitchenaid blenders aren't too bad either. It's not high speed so sometimes I'll need to switch to my Sunbream high speed for some tasks.
Bought 2 of those 28cm today. Plenty of 20/24cm ones but only about 10 of those 28cm left.

Kitchenaid electrical appliances are fantastic, but I don't know about utensils like frying pans.
