Just looking at this pan you can see the top spec quality and even so in the touch, I especially loved the handles. It felt well made and sturdy and at 33.6cm you can fit enough food in there to feed a family, iv already used it for spag bol and curries. By doing so I can confirm it's claim as being scratch proof, I dread using the metal spatulas on my pans but I thought I'd best give it a go and you wouldn't have known I had, not a single scratch. I have to add its a dream to wash up also as nothing stuck to it! My only issue with it is its really heavy to lift especially if you have difficulties but that just shows the quality of it. I absolutely love this pan, it will be used for everything and I can get the hubby to lift it when needs to be put away. I do recommend
