Sturdy - if heavy - and performs well
This beautiful pan is sturdy, well made, rather heavy for long use, and performs well as advertised. The polished finish does show up fingerprints and smudges but polishes and cleans easily. Non stick works well, especially when adequately preheated. Takes stovetop and oven heat well and does frying, stir fry, sauté, eggs of all styles, simmering and braising and is yet nice enough to serve from if desired. I've also used it on gas, induction and electric and it works well on all (didn't dare use it on the coals of the campfire - I'll still do that with my cast iron!). Took it camping and it took the place of everything except a large pot or Dutch oven on the gas hobs. Even used in a chafing dish setup where it fit perfectly. I don't care for the slot hole or gap in the lid rim where the wooden spatula fits thru along the handle side as the pan and the lid don't quite seal as well when that's needed for steaming or simmering, even when turning the gap in the lid away from the handle of the pan. Cleans up easily, especially when washed soon after cooking. It does seem a bit pricy for a single pan. Time will tell if the value is there, if it holds up. I'll update after using it for a while. I'd certainly go for an omelet size pan that's lighter and easier to flip and sauté as I do a fair amount of omelets, pancakes and crepes and move my pan a lot to flip and stir while cooking, especially sautéing and sweating at the beginning of a recipe.
