Bought this one for my wife. She is always using our larger skillets/pan lately and since she is petite, I had a concern for the long handle sticking out from the stove top. This is the perfect pan to solve that problem! No chance of her snagging her sleeve or knocking the pan off or around the stove top since the handles are designed as such. Also, the lid rests securely in place in it's own grooved slots just above the handles. This will be one of our main "go tos" when cooking now...!
