The handles do get extremely hot. I use this to fry French toast . Then it can also be used in the oven to make a roast. Then you simply make the gravy right in the pan. I use this pan for making Steaks with a Peppercorn Sauce.
Utensils come with the pan, nice touch.
5-quart saut pan with lid. Great for frying , making sauces, and is oven safe. The high sides prevent many a spill unlike shallow fry pans or a griddle. Perfect for frying sliced russet potatoes in a a little oil and seasoning them with Fleur de Sel and Freshly ground Tellicherry peppercorns. Add a little butter to the oil.
