Bought as a replacement for another similar size fry pan. The design of the product, i.e. the patented ROCKTEC surface enhancement. I was displeased with the last pan and it's pealing non stick layer partially because of the potential of ingesting the layer but more because the pan will lose its non-stick capability. This pan has no layer therefore no need to worry about ingesting or loosing non-stick ability. As for usability, the utensil heats up fast and evenly. It's just the right size to cook a small breakfast or a grilled sandwich. It cleans up easily and is easy to store. Overall a good product. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
