I bought this frying pan to replace one of my old frying pans that was scratched. This frying pan is going to last me many, many years and it the most sturdy and well made frying pan I have ever owned. This frying pan is on the small side, but it's perfect for small recipes or a quesadilla.  The frying pan is nonstick so you don't even need to put butter in the pan ahead of time (I do for flavor though). I recommend using plastic or wooden utensils while using this pan so that you don't scratch it using metal cookware.
