This Faberware Brilliance frying pan heats evenly and with just a little bit of oil or butter, it keeps foods from sticking. I like that it's not coated in non-stick coating. I feel that stainless steel is safer to cook with for myself and my family. It's compatible with all cooktops even induction. It's 10 inches and I can make many different types of foods in it. It's made well and, I also really like that it's dishwasher-safe.
