The 13-Inch hard-anodized deep skillet is a great all purpose pan for my family of four.  My husband and I both do a lot of cooking, including making dinner for our family almost every night on limited time. I do not like to keep too many different pans around and like to have one go to that I can grab for every task.  I love that this one can serve so many purposes - it can go in the oven, it has a cover, it is deeper than a regular skillet so can handle full meals in it like pasta tosses, stir fry, or curry.  I did the ultimate non-stick test of frying an egg and nothing stuck to my pan. This pan has cleaned up easily and feels well made. It says you can put in dishwasher and use metal utensils with it, which are nice options, but I generally try to treat it gently and have hand washed and used with wood and plastic. I am very pleased with it and highly recommend it.
