Like a lot of people, I used most of 2020 (or the Covid year) at home isolating. So I decided to up my cooking and baking game. After awhile it became apparent that my old pots and pans had seen better days. I do have a few good copper pots and pans but needed a new large skillet with lid. I've used Cuisinart before so I knew their quality. As luck would have it, I was looking and stumbled on a sale so I snapped up a few pieces. This skillet had a good weight. Nice long handle with a helper handle across from the main handle. Heat is even and fast. I cook on a glass top stove and I rarely go over a medium heat. The size is great to feed 4 to 6 people. I esp love to make my coconut chicken curry in this pan but it also handles corned beef hash just fine. I'm old fashioned, I was my pans by hand. Clean up is easy, but a pro tip from my restaurants is Bar Keepers Friend. I highly recommend this pan
