This is one of the best skillet I have tried, and I really enjoy using it.  Great size and weight is balance well.  Heats quickly and evenly. I will be looking to purchase more of these to complete my set.  I was not aware of the Anolon Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel 12-Inch Covered French Skillet before participating in this program.  I am very happy with the performance of this skillet.  I would recommend the Anolon Nouvelle Copper Stainless Steel 12-Inch Covered French Skillet to others.
