This pan is humongous! Perfect for all dishes that require a lot of tossing and stirring, like stir-frying, sauteing vegetables or tossing cooked pasta with other ingredients. Since it is not nonstick, you don't have to use special tools! The lid does not leak any steam, and the handle stays cool enough to lift without using an oven mitten. Like other Calphalon Try-Ply pots and pans, it has great heat-retention and works well on glass cook-tops. Clean-up is easy, too - it can even go in the dishwasher!
