When I ordered the new pan, I was replacing one of the same size. On the old one, the non-stick coating was coming off into the food in flakes. I am disappointed in the new pan. It's great for cooking vegetables which need to be drained before seasoning and serving. But it doesn't work well for cooking rice, which was the main reason I ordered it. Even when the lid is turned around to close off the draining holes, there is still a gap on the side (opposite from the draining lip) which doesn't allow the rice to be sealed off with a tight-fitting lid. I also don't like the handle style--looks totally industrial and rather primitive.
