I am able to cook all my favorite dishes in this pan. It is nonstick and food slides out easy. I like that I don’t have to worry about my food boiling over when I am making pasta dishes. The cover let’s me see my food cooking so I don’t have to keep lifting the lid. I like the deep blue color and the textured outside of this sauté pan. This is the perfect pan because I have been needing something with a deeper capacity.
