This pan can be used to fry anything.
It is great for steaks, chicken, sausages, and absolutaly anything else..

Its worth every penny.

This is a very nicely sized pan. It is a cross between a fry pan and a saucepan. Like all Analon Classic Pans it does not have the weight of a professional pan, like the Circulon, but it is not a cheap thin pan. I really like the extra disk that Meyer has put on the bottom of their Anolon pans. it keeps them flat on the burner and conducts the heat quickly and evenly. I find that heat settings of medium to medium-low work best with this pan. I have even done small stir-fry with no more than a medium-high setting. This pans biggest drawback is no lid, However I have 10-inch lids from QVC's Cooks Essentials that fit it perfectly.

I accidentally happened on this pan quite a number of years ago, thought the shape looked "interesting" (this was before sauciers were common), and bought it. Since then I've used it constantly for absolutely everything! Out of habit, I use spray, nylon and wooden utensils and handwash cookware, and this pan has outlasted my Scanpan set. Nothing's ever stuck or burned, the coating has only minor marks that don't effect cooking, and none of it has flaked. If I need a lid I use a generic one. It's the smartest buy I've ever made. I'm looking for more Analon.

Easy to cook in, easy to clean, and a perfect size to cook everything we need but not be a nightmare to wash.
