Don’t make the mistake I made with this pan and try to fry something in oil. The pan gets hot and stays hot! The oil got SO hot so quickly and stayed that way! I turned the fire off and the oil stayed hot enough to cook food for 20 minutes. I probably could’ve kept cooking but I could tell the oil was cooling down. I feel like this pan would be more ideal to cook pasta and things like that in. It’s a nice pan and very nice quality!
