This is one mighty small fry pan and worth every penny.  This is a heavier weight pan with higher sides so flipping eggs, veggies, pancakes whatever your cooking is easy and of course nothing sticks.  The pan is very easy to clean and although I have not put it in the dishwasher, the box said it was dishwasher safe.  It can also go from stove to oven which is a big plus if your making cornbread or a desert that requires this.  I own a very expensive French manufactured fry pan of this same size  and honestly this one works as good if not better for more than half the price.
