So, I may not be the chef in the house, that's my wife. But, this product makes everything amazing. Heating is distributed evenly and while helping my wife with the prep work and cooking, cook see how awesome this pan is. Durability after a couple weeks use has been great is is still basically brand new. I have had the task of washing the pan and maintaining it and it is so easy and cleans well. I am so happy with this and  the 10" is the right size for portions of a couple.
