There are many reasons why I like this pan. Having two handles gives more stability when lifting from the stove and its filled with food. There is no long handle which might extend over another burner. The lid is glass so viewing the contents of the pan is helpful.  Most of all, I love the fact you can both cook and serve in this pan.  When placed on a buffet table, it looks like a serving piece.  This saves a step when cleaning up. The non-stick surface is another bonus.  No down side to this pan!
