I bought this about month ago but didn't find a place to store it in my cabinets until about a week ago because it has been in constant use. It is big enough to handle stovetop meals for four or more. I find it easier to use than a traditional skillet since it doesn't have a long handle to get in the way. The sloping sides make it easier to stir/turn than a more straight sided pan. So far I have sauted onions, made omelets, browned meat and fish and simmered one pot meals in this. I've been pleased with the results everytime.The handles do need a pot holder (unlike the longer handles on other pans in this line) but that is a minor problem, as is the slightly heavier weight of this item. This is a not a non-stick surface but the clean up has not been a problem. It is particularly nice to be able to put this pan into the oven.Get this item while it is still available since this line is being discontinued.
