This is a beautiful skillet that is well-made and performs well. My only complaint is with Hestan's packaging. We are drowning in our own waste, so there is no excuse for wrapping a small pan in lots of plastic, putting it in an elaborate box, then placing that box in a much larger box and filling it with non-recyclable Styrofoam peanuts. The first box is certainly substantial enough for safe shipping. After all, the pan is made of titanium for goodness sake!
