I cook everyday and good cookware is essential. I have to say, I was super impressed with this skillet. To start off with, I live the size. It’s huge and so much food fits in there. Then there’s how heavy duty it is. Honestly, I picked it up and was impressed on how sturdy it felt and the weight on it. It’s not your cheap, lightweight cookware. I love the long handle too. The lid is very nice and heavy as well. I cooked beef in it and it didn’t stick at all. It got a good seat without sticking or leaving s mess. Washing was super easy too because everything just wiped off. Definitely a great skillet!
