The KitchenAid Hard-Anodized Nonstick Saute Pan with Lid, 3-Quart quickly became one of my favorites. Super flat n cooking surface just makes everything easier.  Evenly distributing the heat of the stove to the food.  No oils or nonstick sprays are needed. Everything will slide when you want it to.  Keeping your pan looking amazing for a long time shouldn’t be difficult. I can tell that this hard ionized cooking surface is going to last a very long time with proper use.  Such a versatile pan comes into play from breakfast to dinner.
