The stove I have in this apartment leaves a lot to be desired. I wanted to get me something like this skillet anyway, and the fact that the stove burns a lot of my food made this imperative. I am so happy with this: I use this for casseroles, mixtures that must be warmed, and with the setting just above warm, I use this skillet as a slow cooker. I've never had anything that burned, overcooked, and could slow cook some meats and chicken to make them more flavorful. I would recommend this to anybody that is in the market, or thinks they're in the market, for this type of product. You won't be sorry.
