The pan sautes with eaze. The clean up was simple. I really like the balance and I did not need a cover for the handle when it was blazing hot. The heating of the surface was even, no hot spots.
This is my 3rd skillet in less than 8 years. After the first one I said "No more non-stick finish!" (What are we eating when that black stuff starts to scrape off into the food?!) And after the second one, which was a copper-lined Revere pan, I said "No more inexpensive pans that don't last!" The Revere pan seemed great for 2 years, but then it inexplicably developed a large bubble on the bottom of the pan.
I felt this Sitram Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan seemed like a better quality. $80 is a reasonable price if it lasts for years; so far I've had it several weeks, so we'll see.
I also chose this pan because it contains no aluminum, but has the necessary copper core for conducting heat evenly. The lip around the edge of the pan is great because it doesn't drip down the side if you have to drain grease or liquid out of the pan and then return it to the burner.
I would warn that if you are accustomed to only non-stick, it will take some getting used to. No oil is necessary if you are browning meat that has any fat in it at all; just let it cook a few minutes on one side before turning or stirring. If you try to turn it too soon, it will stick badly.
Alternatively, try cooking with a few tablespoons of broth instead of oil to prevent vegetables from sticking. Less fat!
I was a bit concerned about the size; I wanted a 10inch pan and this is labeled as 9 1/2 inch. But I was pleased to find that my (Cuisinart)lid from the old 10inch skillet fits perfectly, so I don't notice any size difference!

Nice pan. Love it for quesadillas. I do well with this pan but always burn them in other pans. Clean up was easy, did not need to scrub it.Read Best Reviews of Sitram Catering 9-1/2-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Here
