Great pan for Chicken & Dumplings
I love this pan! The side handle is the feature that attracted me because large pans are SO heavy to lift. The design of this pan allows large quantities to be cooked and moved safely. It also braised perfectly because of the heavy bottom. The reasonable price was a bonus! The see-through lid with a metal rim to protect the glass from chipping makes it easy to see the food cooking and allows those "curious kitchen visitors" (aka kids, significant other, etc.) to see in the pan without removing the lid.
Love this pan!
This pan is fantastic, it's deep and large, and the nonstick surface is great. The glass lid also lets you check your food without lifting the lid. The pan is heavy, but the small handle lets you lift it easily. Great for frying, stewing, and braising. Catch it for $24.99 on the Friday sale.
Not for the long haul
I got this in 2008 for Christmas, I had put it on my Amazon wish list. At first it was great, the size is great for our family of 6 and the lid was nice, seemed to work well, handles were nice, and yes it's heavy but I thought that meant nicer product. Well probably 6-8 months later the surface started wearing down, and now there is no more non-stick to it at all! I never saw anything flaking off (like my old t-fal did) so I don't know where the surface went or if that is/was unhealthy. I always have to use non-stick spray now or oil and somethings still stick. I hand washed it and didn't use metal utensils. Perhaps it's not meant to be used several times a week. Maybe if you only plan to use it once in awhile it would be good. This is not a good long term investment in my opinion.
