I received this pan..., I returned it... This pan was not what I expected. The pan is very thin, the lid doesn't weigh much more than several paper plates. The lesson I learned is to try to find cookware in a local store, inspect it, then if cheaper order on line. The only problem with this idea is that this pan was not available locally. I wouldn't suggest this piece to anyone.... If the price was [cheaper] it might be worth it. Don't think you are getting a great bargain, like I did, when you look at the regular price. It is a bargain pot at an inflated price.
