Replaced my old fry pan which also had a lid, think it may have been a less expensive brand possibly T- Fal.  ZFor the most part like the new Rock deep Fry Pan however not happy with the lid for 2 reasons:
#1. the metal logo in the middle of the rubber handle on the lid will burn your hands if you don't use a mitt, so quite annoying you can't remove the lid unless you are wearing a mitt.
#2. the vent hole on top of the lid does not let very much steam escape so you have a lot of water/juices gathering that drip all over (if you're not paying attention) when you remove the lid.
I put out the extra $ thinking it would be better than my more reasonably priced T-Fal but feel although the pan is probably better quality it's lacking in overall design & function.
