This is my first stainless saute pan, wanted a pan that would handle larger volumes and brown the food well with good fond production also. Other pans are Scanpan titanium and I love them but they dont fond well. This is a great pan and is good value when on special. Handles much more comfortable than All Clad models, cooks evenly and heats quite fast. Good deep sides, nice pouring rim.

I worked for Williams-Sonoma for 8 years and know my pans. I was looking for a good sized pan with a cover for my wife. Most of the top end cookware, like All-Clad, Calphalon, etc. are great pans and worth their high price tages as they will last forever. But Anolon offered this pan at a more reasonable price. Let say this...the pan is great in design, appearance, and function -- but if you don not know how to use a stainless-steel pan successfully, find a nonstick version. My wife burns things in this pan almost everytime, and it is a hassle to get the pan clean.

I have ran through all the cheaper 'non-stick' pans that lose their non-stick coating. Disgusted, I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy a good quality stainless steel pan. Am I glad I did!!! I love this large pan, even though I only cook smaller portions for myself I still use this pan. Cooks wonderfully and clean up is a breeze, just as easy as non-stick. The price was incredibly cheap compared to the quality. I have a similar Cuisinart pan for about the same price, but its not the quality of this Anolon.

We finaly broke down and bought a pan...a HUGE one. Holy cow! This thing was DIRT cheap too...but not bad cheap. It is STURDY and cooks WONDERFULLY! And clean up is really a breeze. I am really, really impressed. My husband loves the fact that the handle, lid and side of the pan have grippy handles so you don't even have to use an oven mit. And it's beautiful! So many plusses!

I love this skillet. Doesn't stick. Large enough for everything. Can even use it for a roast. LOVE IT
