This is a beautiful, sparkly pan. That's a good reason to buy it. Another good reason to buy it is its generous size. I can now sear two salmon filets without having to cram them into a pan. They can spread out now. I love that this pan is non-stick without containing teflon. I have several pet birds and teflon fumes will kill them, but this pan is safe for them. Fantastic product. I will buy more in this set.
