I was expecting this skillet to be like all the others out there. I was so wrong! I had no idea how much i would love having and using a large deep skillet! I feel like I've been missing out lol. It's so functional and I love how big it is. I've been loving it the most for cooking bacon! No worries about grease overflows and there's so much room! It seriously took half the time to cook! Everything was cooked evenly, which was another issue I used to have. No hot spots and it can even go in the oven! I was also surprised by that because the handle is coated. Super non-stick and easy to clean! I highly recommend this skillet if you like to cook! It's now a must have in my kitchen. I'm getting another one as a backup! Oh and the color is gorgeous!!! Get one!!!
