I have a large family and I often find myself reaching for multiple pans to cook “one pan meals”. This skillet, however, is deep enough that I can cook a meal for my family with just 1 pan. I love that it is truly non stick without having to add unnecessary fat. The lid fits snugly and doesn’t let any liquid escape. The pan itself is pretty lightweight, but it is made very well. It sits flat with no wobble, which allows the pan to distribute the heat evenly.
