The round handle is hard to keep from turning in your hand when you tilt the frying pan to pour grease out, or to ease an omelet on to a plate, etc.
Excellent observation, but can you be sure this particular product will have the same fault?
Well, I can't be sure since I have not used that particular pan.
I think that the octagonal shape would make for an awesome-looking cornbread for the table, so I do like that aspect!
However, combine a
heavy cast iron pan with a round handle (lubricated a bit with grease spattered from frying bacon) and I have a hard time seeing how it would
NOT want to turn in your hand. The one I used sure did!
