I love the size and color of this pan. It's great for a small entree like an omelette. Or for individual pancakes. The finish of the exterior is a very pretty deeper turquoise/aqua/teal with nice sparkle. The handle is very sturdy and has been fixed solidly and attractively with a grippy heat resistant handle. I'm not sure how I'll feel about the way this handle holds up and feels over time. Something about it feels slightly sticky to me. That said, the non-stick finish is lovely and you can truly wipe it clean with a paper towel, if you are so inclined. I'm old fashioned, this won't see the inside of a dishwasher or the use of a metal utensil while in my kitchen.
