I did not expect this deep skillet to be quite as big (I know... it says the dimensions in the product info... but it's hard to image just how big this thing is until its in your hands). It is the perfect depth for everything from stir fry prep to sauce prep. I've been able to make a couple dishes including sautéing some veggies for fajitas, to making a creamy sauce for potato gnocchi and the skillet is a winner. The lid is a nice feature to have when things need to simmer or be steamed (i.e. rice or veggies). My only complaint is that the skillet is heavy... I mean heavy. It rivals the weight of my cast iron pans which is saying something. Other than that, I'd highly recommend!
