Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a really big pan. If that's not enough to blow your skirts/kilts up, then maybe the super-slick, no-stick, inside-and-out surface will. I put this baby through the paces all week, and I'm really impressed. I had read a few complaints that it had warped for other users. I followed the enclosed instructions, and noticed no problems with warping. Keep in mind, the surface area of this pan is huge and aluminum expands much more than steel or iron with heat it's just a law of physics, not a design flaw so take care when using your pan to not quickly overheat or shock the hot pan with cold liquids, etc. Use your iron and steel pans for that. If you have a smooth-top stove, even the tiniest amount of warping will be noticeable, no matter what pan you use. Getting that out of the way, this pan is fantastic for doubling or even tripling recipes in one pot. There's room for everything and it has a vented lid! I marvel.
Edited to include a re-review 5 months later: Been using this pan several times a week for 5 months and it's holding up great. I am still thrilled with it! I can also confidently claim that it saves energy on top of everything else! Since the surface area is so much bigger, batch cooking is no longer required, and food is browned much quicker when you can spread it in a single layer. This means a meal can be prepared much quicker and the kitchen doesn't heat up as much. I cannot say enough good things about this pan!
Will I ever shut up about this pan? Here's a third edit to profess my deep love for the Colossus. After two full years of nearly constant use, this pan has held up exceptionally well. The non-stick coating is still in great condition, showing no sign of wear. I don't know about the rest of you, but I can never get non-stick cookware to last more than a year, even with proper utensils and hand-washing. I'm so pleased with the Colossus that I purchased a second one just in case anything ever happens to the first.

Why did it take so long for the Ecolution's Colossus Pan to find me?! The Colossus pan has many functions, but I like it most for that two-in-one recipe. I am constantly annoyed when I have to use multiple pans for my recipes, thus making a mess in the kitchen complete with an overflowing sink and dishwasher. The Colossus pan is is deep enough to saute veggies for four people and then add protein pasta, rice or potatoes to complete all of my favorite recipes. In makes my normal life of multitasking life seem simple. One of my favorite new items for the kitchen!Best Deals for Ecolution Artistry 14 Inch Colossus Pan with Glass Lid
It looks like a nice pan, but we couldn't test it out, because it came with scratches on the non-stick surface as if someone had used a metal utensil on it. I'm assuming it's a returned product that no one inspected before sending out to someone else? I wanted to have it replaced to see if we had better luck, since it is the perfect shape and size for cooking some of the larger things we like, but it was out of stock. Now I have to do more research and find a new pan. :(Follow-up:
The pan came back in stock right after our gift certificate was credited. We reordered it, figuring we should give them another chance. Maybe it is how Amazon ships it, but the new one had issues too:
1) It wasn't wrapped like the first one, making me suspect it was previously opened by someone else.
2) It was dented and the lid would not fit on the pan snugly and close all the way.
The pan looks great otherwise, but I wish their quality control was much better. Getting two with scratches/dents in a row is kind of ridiculous.
Honest reviews on Ecolution Artistry 14 Inch Colossus Pan with Glass Lid
Ecolution Artistry Eco-Friendly 14 Inch Colossus Pan with Glass LidI had high hopes for this pan. I had been looking for a pan this size for a long time. After I got the pan I read the instructions on how to use it because I hate pans that warp because I have a glass flat top burner stove, or when the teflon peels off and I wanted this pan to last as long as possible, I also threw out all my other old pans. I obeyed the instructions and use the pan on the lowest heat setting first and slowly increased so as to not mess it up but it still warped on me after about 10 dinners and now it's shot. It was kind of expensive at $25 for one pan but I thought it would be worth it if it worked well like it said it would. But it didn't it says you can return it with an $8 check if it is defective but they claim it is because over heating and I know it wasn't but how can I prove that? If it worked well I was going to buy the whole collection of them but not now I will never but one again.

I used this item only 3 or 4 times before I had to return it. It warped a little each time I used it until it was no longer stable. I have a smooth-top stove, so I would not recommend this item if you have a smooth-top.
