I want to begin by telling you about the color overall. The color of the pan is beautiful and compliments very well with my kitchen setup. So I have tried it quite a few times and my experience with to is that is works pretty good. It works well with frying things and even to saute food. I usually used it with medium to.medium high heat and haven't had any issue shut once when I tried cooking something on higher heat and it sticked to the pot a little. Overall the pots works well best for me when used on medium heat.
