This pan is to replace a previous 10-inch non-stick all-clad pan that after 20 years had started to loose it's finish.  I always liked the older pan, used it extensively, and decided to replace it again with another all-clad pan but this time I went with top-of-the-line.  Very pleased with the performance I'm getting.  After investigating several possible replacements, I found having the cool handle, the fact that it can take being under the broiler, and the curved lip for easily sliding food out, to be pluses again.
