I am a huge circulon fan. They have great cookwear. I love this skillet, It's huge. So if you have a large family you can cook bigger portions or if you mean prep its great for that too.I love the non stick and the helper part makes it easier to drain the liquid off without dumping any food in the sink. It's a little more shallow than I would normally purchase.  but its great to make burgers and great for pancakes and eggs or what ever you wanna make . I love circulon
