Calphalon Mineral Shield Nonstick Technology 10" skillet is the perfect size for me, and my cooking needs. I like to make beef stroganoff in it, it's nonstick and cooks evenly. I really like the curve in the handle, it makes it easier for me to grip. It's great on gas, electric or glass to stoves and can be put in the oven in up to 450° degrees. It says metal utensils can be used on it, but I don't, I use my rubber or wooden utensils. It's dishwasher friendly, but I hand wash my pan, it's easy to clean. It's one of my favorite pans, everything tastes great cooked in it.
