This is a very heavy-duty pan. It heats evenly and it has a very nice non-stick coating. I love the stainless steel handle it's easy to grip and it's just the right length. I also like that you can put it in the oven and broiler.  I'm also very impressed that it is scratch resistant. And you can use metal utensils in it. It should last for years and make many wonderful meals. It is definitely a good addition to my kitchen.
