I highly recommend the Faberware Dishwasher safer high performance aluminum nonstick 12 inch skillet in black to anyone! I cook every day for my family, and this pan holds up to high eat, and the daily wash in the dishwasher! Nothing sticks to it, even without oil! I'm not a pro chef, just a mom with a family to feed. This is a high quality pan, with a rubber grip on the handle. This pan is definitely restaurant, chef worthy! My other skillets were worn out, so I've used this pan a lot lately. It distributes the heat evenly throughout and will evenly cook whatever younput in it! I highly recommend this to anyone!
