I love the quality of the pan.  It is sooooo heavy.  The color is beautiful and I love the size.  It is very deep.  I could not pass up this deal.  I saved hundreds of dollars!! So happy.  I made chili in it and everything browned so evenly.  I keep it on top of my stove because it is so pretty.  I also love the fact that you can register the item with Cuisinart for the guarantee.  This is something that I will pass down to my daughter.
