Excellent frying pan.  Was worried, that for the pans size and the robustness of the handle, that it would not sit flat on the stove opt, but it is so well balanced that there is absolutely no problem.  This pan also replaces an aluminum non-stick fry pan that was no longer non-stick.  Followed the before-first-use instructions and the interior of the pan has kept it's stainless steel luster even after frequent use.
