All I can say is WOW. I've used many different pans for a variety of cooking over the years, and out of them all this pan claims the spot of  my personal favorite. This pan is great for cooking many different types of food. The flat bottom with the flared sides is one of the many features that makes this pan perfect for making almost anything you can think of. Pouring is simply and doesn't spill like many pans due to the fabulous design. Thanks to the 5-ply alternating stainless steel layers this product heats evenly and is good about preventing annoying hotspots. It's even oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit! The handle is comfortable and also heat resistant which is a huge plus! The nonstick feature is helpful too. All in all I would rate this item a 10 out of 10. Absolutely worth it, would recommend!
