The first thing I noticed when I received this pan in the mail is the lovely red color. The color gives the pan a really premium look. Next I noticed the weight. Its so lightweight compared to other pans I have been using. It also heats up very quickly and retains heat longer for even cooking. The rubberised handle on both the pan and the lid made the pan feel really comfortable and the best part is I can wash the pan in the dishwasher without being concerned about the non stick coating.  I have Rachael Ray cookware before and always loved it. This pan is an other feather in their hat.  Thanks to Viewpoints for giving me the opportunity to test this pan. I definitely recommend this pan and will buy more in different sizes.
