love the depth of this fry pan, not shallow and flat like most! I browned sausages this afternoon and I always add liquid in the beginning to allow them to cook thru. Once they were cooked i drained the rest of the liquid and grilled in the same pan, they came out beautifully seared, and fully cooked. A shallow pan would have let too much liquid evaporate to achieve the results I got. Perfect perfect, need to grab a few other sizes now!
