This pan works great! I love it's superior non-stick properties. I have used it to cook pasta (using the strainer inside which made it super quick and easy to drain), bacon, eggs, pancakes, lots of sauteed veggies, and a bunch of other things. The other day I broiled some cheese on top of a pasta dish I had prepared on the stovetop using the broiler in the oven. Love that it is oven safe. It comes with a nice spatula that fits nicely on top of the lid, if needed. It says that it is dishwasher safe, although I have not needed to use this feature as I find its non stick properties make it super easy to clean by hand. Things seem to slide off.
