After 40 plus years of cooking, this skillet by far has been the best skillet I have ever used. The weight of the skillet definitely proves that this skillet is top quality which is why an additional handle is perfectly provided for picking up and/or moving the it. Also, the depth of the skillet is great for cooking an all in one meal without having to cook items separately. A lid is provided which helps with steaming and/or cooking at a low setting while keeping the food 
moist. The skillet requires little to no oil depending on the dish with no sticking and best of all, it is easy to clean.
