I am writing today to let everyone know about the best skillet that I have used to date.    I am so impressed with the Rachel Ray Create Delicious 10.25 inch covered deep skillet.   The cooking surface of the skillet uses a specially enhanced black nonstick technology called platinumshield.   This is very unique.  This skillet is 9x harder than titanium and twice as hard as stainless steel.   I am very impressed with the quality of the skillet.   It has a shatter-resistant glass lid and really nice comfortable handles.   The skillet is 400 degree oven safe and can be used on an induction surface because the skillet has a base that features a stainless steel plate on the bottom?   This is a very high quality skillet that can be used daily with outstanding results.   This is a must have skillet for any kitchen.   I am very impressed with this skillet.
