I think that this pan is terrific and the price makes it even better. Some complaints about this product was that the sides feel flimsy. The sides are unquestionably thinner as they are purely stainless steel whereas the bottom is a stainless steel, aluminum, stainless steel sandwich. That being said the sides are still thick enough to not be concerned about. I work with metal routinely and you would have to do some pretty bad stuff to this pan to worry about it warping. All around it is quite handsome and has been fantastic to cook with. My one complaint is that I wish I could have bought this pan in a slightly smaller size but at the same great price and with a lid. For one person this pan is comically large but for a couple or a family this would be perfect.

This pan was so lovely looking when I took it out of the box, and great to cook with! Clean up is easy, and I love the look when they are sitting on the pan rack shining in the sun it makes my day!!! ...And when I cook with the stainless steel pans, I know I am not eating chemicals from the non stick pans I threw away. Nice weight, and easy to handle...Good purchase!

Perfect, roomy 12 inch shiny stainless steel pan. The glass lid fits snugly. I keep it in my oven when not in use to save space. I bought this to replace a similar size pan that had non stick coating which I learned can contain toxins so I am now using all stainless steel. This is the pan I always grab. It is perfect for my needs.

We bought this for my mom and she loves it. The handle stays cool while cooking, it's very large and it has a no drip edge.

I was a bit nervous about giving up my nonstick pans, and as soon as I ordered this I read a lot of blogs about how to cook w/ stainless steel. So far it's worked well for me. Something I'm confused about is that much of the advice I read says to preheat the pan, but the instructions say not to heat the pan up w/ nothing in it. Indeed, it makes a sound like it's buckling when it gets hot (It doesn't look like it's buckling though). This is at medium heat or slightly lower, and I have a gas stove. I've been using that sound as my cue that it's preheated and I the fat to the pan at that point, food shortly after. So far I've used this pan to carmelize onions, sear turkey cutlets, scramble eggs, and make fried rice, and there's been a little sticking but nothing a short soak doesn't take care of. I didn't have $$$$ for a more expensive pan and figured it was better to have a cheaper pan to learn on anyway in case I ruined it. I've been happy with my choice.

Updates:

I have since made pancakes and quesadillas in this pan and it has definite hot spots, those things did not cook evenly. (Maybe that is normal for this type of cookware, I don't know.)

I also wanted to add that I make eggs in the pan all the time -from a dozen scrambled to a single fried and never have any sticking as long as I follow the routine: start from a clean pan, preheat, cooking spray, then add the eggs. Much better than my nonstick pans ever were.

Because this pan is so huge, I've been using it for chili and taco filling I would previously have done in my dutch oven.

I've also noticed that the buckling sound I mentioned in my previous review doesn't happen anymore, and the pan is still in perfect shape. Still happy with my purchase!
