A great improvement over our last couple of pans. Very much a case of you get what you pay for. Non- stick surface works great. Heats quickly and evenly ( we have an induction stove). It’s well made and my wife and I both find it light enough for to lift easily. Additionally, like other reviewers have said, it looks terrific and you may actually want to leave it on the stove top. A bit expensive but well worth it and highly recommended.
