Just received my Essentials pan in Merlot! WOW!! I love the size of this pan. It's just perfect! I have a feeling this pan will be used a lot!! Bonus... it's lid fit's the 12" French Skillet Fry Pan as well. I love the non-stick on this Symmetry line, it's truly non-stick. Cooking, and especially cleaning, dare I say are a joy now!!
