I like that this one has a lid, a lot of my larger pans don't have a lid with them and I have to put tinfoil on top of it. So this one is nice for that. Also, you can put this pan in the oven under 400º. But the best part is the non stick, I cooked some bacon in it and they just slid around nothing stuck! I do wish this pan wasn't as shallow as it is but other than that I like everything about it. Also you have to be really careful not to scratch it, it says to use silicone utensils, hand wash but not with an abrasive sponge, don't put in the dishwasher.
