Wonderful fry pan, I like the shape and the sturdiness of this pan.  I originally bought a 12"  pan in this same series, and liked it so much that I bought the 10 inch fry pan, now I have my sights set on the 8" fry pan, I like them so much!  It is an easy clean up pan.  No matter what I cook in it I can swish it out with the scrubby of my choice and it is good to go again.  Even though you can put these pans in the dishwasher I don't recommend it. These pans have a lovely finish that can be damaged over time with the high heat of a dishwasher, like knives that I want to keep sharp. It is so easy to wash these things by hand, that it isn't a problem.
