I love this item!  I had purchased the full set of smaller pans and utensils 2 years ago and love that too but the largest fry pan is not big enough to hold larger recipes and those with sauces, etc.  So this one fills the bill nicely.  The helper handle gives it great balance and ease when moving the full pan and capacity is perfect without being bulky.  Only thing I would suggest is to make an optional extra lid with a steam vent in it.
