Ever since I got this frying pan, all I've wanted to do is cook with it. I'm sure my family is tired of having stir fry every night, but I can't help it--- I love my new pan! It's non-stick, which really helps with cleanup. Appearance wise, it's beautiful and fancy looking (which probably doesn't matter to most people, but for me it's an added bonus!). I've both hand washed it and put it in the dishwasher. Both ways gets it clean and hasn't damaged it in any way. Overall it is easy to use and clean and makes me actually look forward to cooking each night!
