I needed this pan. I bought the stainless set, but the pan that came with it is 3qt, and that just isn't quite big enough for some of the recipes I want to cook. This one fits everything I want, with room to spare. I have seen the other reviews, and have to say, there is a bit of a learning curve to cooking with stainless, but once you "get it", you'll only use it (or your cast iron), ever again. First, you want MEDIUM heat, not low, nor high. Second, give the pan time to come up to temp - say, five minute or so. And learn the "skitter test". Drop a few droplets of water in the pan and they "skitter" over the surface, not just sizzle. And a little oil, it doesn't take a lot. I have no problem with stuff sticking, occasionally some stuff does, but not a lot, and it's never major. One thing people people with stainless need to learn, "Barkeepers Friend" is also YOUR friend. It takes off any stains, scuffs, marks, etc. It is also recommended by most stainless manufacturers. Once you have all this down, cooking with these is a breeze. Even heating (if you haven't warped your pan), non stick pans are cooking up great meals in your kitchen!

Great pan and helps having a glass lid to see the food cooking.

There are some that are more expensive, but not better.Nice heavy bottom gives outstanding heat distribution.The glass lid is made with thick, durable glass.Excellent piece of stainless steel cookware!I’d buy again, no question.

Replacing crappy non-stick pan. Tired of throwing out non stick sauté pans due to the surfaces failing/peeling. This will last forever even with metal utensils.

This pan is really smooth and great to cook in. It has all of that metal inside the bottom of the pan and produces a nice, even heat all over. It's a little heavy, but that's to be expected with a pan of this size. The handle doesn't get hot, and that's a good thing. I love cooking chicken dishes in this, or frying bread or sandwiches.This pan cleans up nice, even on the bottom, and I especially appreciate that the bottom surface is stainless steel and not aluminum, as aluminum bottoms mark up my cutting board and my counter, which is a pain to clean up. Great product, beautiful design. Worth the money.

Third pan was received and it has the least issues of the three. Some minor defects on the bottom of the pan (cooking surface) but this time they do not interfere with use. Still recommend looking at different options to avoid hassle.---Currently awaiting my third pan and will update when received. I'd recommend looking at the All-Clad D3 line instead.First pan had a rough, unfinished lip. It was sharp, and could catch food/utensils or cut you during use.Second pan has metal bumps/burrs on the cooking surface, which could catch food and damage utensils (lip was fine on this sample).

Use oil, sear meats, finish cooking in oven. Cleans up nice if you don’t burn the food. If you do overcook something the fried on residue will come off easily by adding hot water while on the stove, then scape it off. The smooth bottom is great for glass stove top induction. Handle is very comfortable. It’s pricey, but a good pan for this this type of stove top. And it comes with a lid, which a lot of large fry pans don’t have. If the pan sits with residue on it and cools ( say you are lazy after eating) Bar keepers friend will take it off. It takes some practice to get use to, but it’s worth it. It’s become our favorite for the 6 people all in one pan meals.

Heat distribution is VERY good, long handle is very good, lid is a nice fit. The helper handle opposite the long handle is a little narrow if you have average or larger hands, but will still give you a good 3 finger grip.It heats quickly and browns evenly, even on a slightly too-small electric burner, and I love that it also works on my induction burner.This is a really great pan for the price point.

Using stainless when you've been used to non-stick does take some adjustment, BUT, with a few habit modifications, I am in love. DON'T add your oil until the pan is hot, and then only RIGHT BEFORE you add your food. That will save you some grief, but if you are worried about scrubbing, know that an overnight soak with white vinegar takes off most baked on goop, and if not, bar keepers friend really is your friend. Usually, warm soapy water and a scrubby is all I need. The UP side - you can use all your heavy duty METAL utensils, it heats up in a flash and food cooks evenly. Plus, this is a really BIG pan, big enough to feed a small army.
