This is a GREAT pan!!! The lid fits well, and its glass-so you can keep an eye on what you are cooking, the bottom hearts evenly and quickly, and if you follow the 'hot pan, cold oil' rule, you should have a nice surface that doesn't stick AND cleans up well.
While I have ALWAYS used and loved the natural non-stick qualities of the large cast iron fry pans used to cook family meals, I wanted something that could go thru the dishwasher, wasn't hard on my wrists, and was big enough to cook a whole casserole. This pan TOTALLY fits the bill.
I also love that it can go from stove top to oven, and that the handles aren't long, wieldy and clumsy. They do get hot if you are cooking for a long period, like a rice or one-pot pasta meal, however they are designed well, and nicely accommodate pot mitts.
This pan is also very pretty, shiny inside and out, pretty enough to display on open shelving.
I just want to say that think's it's unfair to compare this modestly priced item to pans that go for 15 times as much, and then give this pan an unfair rating. I have read a lot of reviews for pans around this price, and have found a few people saying that they prefer their $350.00 french chef pan they picked up while on holiday….apples to oranges.
All in all, this is swell little pan that is appropriately priced..I know I am going to get YEARS of use from this pan. The shape of this pan makes it perfect for Chicken pot pie, One-pot pasta, Shepherds pie, baked fish and chicken, enchiladas, breakfast casserole, stir fry, biscuits, and much more.
