I've been using the same cookware I bought after college for years.  I recently bought this skillet and could not be happier.  I used it for finishing off fajitas on the grill and it was a complete champion.  Cleaned up with ease.  I did the fried egg test, once I found the correct temperature setting for my stove, my sunny side up eggs slid right off the pan.  I'm getting rid of my non-stick ware and will be purchasing a 10inch to go with my 12 and 8 inch.  Can wait to cook filets and make a pan sauce this weekend.  I've also switched my sauce pans over to the all clad copper core.  Should have just bought the big set and been done.  My entire kitchen will be all-clad.  It's also American made so that is a bonus.
