A very nice pan, a real eye-catcher, although that's not the main point. And that being said, it's also a very good pan, with excellent non-stick properties, so you don't have to worry about the bottom coming loose. The pan is also induction-safe. It's a bit large, though the size is perfect, but it's also wonderful for spaghetti sauce and chili con carne. These kinds of dishes are always handy to make in advance and freeze, and this pan makes that easy. I'm very happy with it.
