Kila Chef 11" Tri-Ply Copper Bottom Saute Pan with lid

I have had the KilaChef sauté pan for abouta month.

I use this mostly for sauces and curries cacciatore, marinara, vindaloo and such.

For dryer foods I use the fry pan.

Pros: Heavy and thick, well balanced, Feels right

Performs well heats up quickly, cools quickly

Does not burn food

Love the copper look

Very reasonable price.

Cons: Does require elbow grease and cleanser once a week I use Barkeepers Friend

Not dishwasher safe.

I can try new gourmet recipes. I use it almost everyday.
