Perfect for one pot dishes!  Great for soups, stews, chili, and anything else you normally have to fry things for then transfer to a pot to cook.  Holds so much food it's easy to make enough for leftovers and for freezing at the same time.  I cook a lot and find myself using this pan even when I could use a smaller one because of how evenly it distributes heat and nothing I've made sticks to it.  They aren't cheap, but worth it.
