I was excited to receive this skillet as I never had a skillet this large.  Everyone should have a 12.5 inch Rachael Ray hard anodized aluminum nonstick deep skillet.  I thought my food would get lost.  It didn't.  My food cooked evenly and the cleanup was a breeze. The skillet is high enough that spattering was minimal and I love that.  The handle is rubberized and red, the color of my kitchen dÃ©cor so it looks just so nice.  I would highly recommend this skillet to anyone and everyone who enjoys cooking and wants a pan that cooks great and cleans up beautifully.
