I am quite pleased with this KitchenAid frying pan - it is made from stainless steel with an aluminum core base so heat spreads quickly and evenly. I also like the silicone grip on the pan handle so it remains cool to touch while cooking. The inside of the frying pan is nonstick so food does not stick. So far, I've tried eggs, sausages and chicken breast without any issues. Overall, a great compact option to have around for daily use.
