First, how it’s packaged. Kept the pan very secure. For cooking, I’ve been looking for a high quality non-stick pan, but also wanted stainless steel. I have searched and tried many, always disappointed. Until the “Perfect Pan”! I love that I can make chicken breasts or fish, get a beautiful sear on a filet, but also make some Asian foods, to Italian pasta dishes, or a wonderful paella ~ all in one pot! It can also be used as a pot for large amounts of rice or sauces. It’s by far my favorite pot/pan!
