It's easy to use. Heats up quickly an evenly and, if used properly according to directions, is about as non-stick as those teflon coated non-stick pans I'm replacing with this stainless beauty. Clean-up is quick and easy. I like that I can scrup this with soap, unlike my cast iron frying pans, which I also love but for other reasons. It's really nice to also have a splatter screen that fits (and, of course, a lid). Will be replacing more of the coated non-sticks with All-Clad stainless.
