I am very pleased with my frying pan. Very durable and well balanced. Cooked peppersteak the other night and it was amazing how even everything cooked in the whole pan. The oil stayed evenly distributed over the entire pan and just the way the food cooked was much better than the other pans that I have been using. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know about the experience of cooking with it. I intend to purchase the 12 inch in the near future.
