This is a heavy type frying pan with a glass cover.  This pan transfers heat very well and you can put it in the oven.  It has two handles, so it easy to carry.  This pan is very easy to clean.  * Preheat the pan (with nothing in the pan) at the stove setting you plan to use, for 1-2 minutes only !!  Read the info that came with the pan. I really love this pan.
