I really love the Circulon Symmetry Hard-Anodized Nonstick Covered Essential Pan. It is large and does a great job cooking up your food evenly. I love the nonstick it makes so easy cooking and even easier clean up. You cannot go wrong with that. It is really great quality and I am looking forward to years and years of use that we will get from the 12-inch pan. Our family is growing and it will make cooking for everyone easier. The lid works great for simmering and keeping everything fresh. I love that you can cook with it on the stove or in the oven; it makes this pan so versatile. The pan says it's nonstick will last 10 years and from my use so far I would believe it. I think this pan will be with our family for any years!
