From cooking on the stovetop to throwing it straight in the oven (as the recipe called for), this pan stood the test of multiple cook environments. The pan heats evening which made stovetop cooking easy and controllable. There was only one thing I didn't like, after the first use a portion of the ceramic coating (nor more than an inch long) chipped off where the log is put on. Not sure how it happened, but it did. That was the only drawback.
