I added this to my 12 piece Cuisinart set. I'm so glad I did! I do use this everyday! It's my go to pan. It's great for spaghetti sauces, poaching eggs, frying eggs, meats, burgers, bacon...The pan and lid are really good quality, solid but not too heavy. Easy to clean, just handwash to keep it nice. Nothing sticks, it doesn't chip. Buy it and you'll be glad you did!
