I don’t usually cook with stainless steel, so there is a learning curve. The skillet is 10 inches and made in Thailand. I attempted to scramble eggs in the skillet using a gas stove. It was easy to use, once I regulated the temperature. The handle never turned hot, which is perfect, as some cookware handles will get as hot as the burner it sits on. I cleaned the skillet before using with Dawn dish detergent and it left no residue. Overall, I like the stainless steel, it cooks well and it also looks good in my kitchen.
