I e had this pan for 20 years and while I don’t use it often (it’s huge!) when I do, it’s indispensable. It’s great for searing large roasts! The only downside is even though it’s far sturdier than anything else in this size, it does warp over time. It’s still ok on a gas cooktop but it’s insufferably too warped for use on a smooth cooktop. Also for some reason the handles on the new D3 have less rounded edges that dig into your hand more than the original 3-ply pans. I’m glad mine is from the 90’s but too bad the handles aren’t more ergonomic.
