That is a great quality coper bottom sauted pan and it is heavy, too heavy: my husband complained despite there is a stick and a handle to carry it from the stove to the table. It is not easy to handle, but it cooks fast, uniformly, and it does not need too much oil to cook. The pan is a try ply, which means 3 layers of metal combined into 1. In fact it is perfect to conduct heat, and it is safe. Easy to clean too. The lid is 11' round and made of good quality stainless steel. Very happy

Loved the pan ! It has a nice heavy bottom so good for evenly distributing the heat. I like that it came with its own lid. Looks great too !

The first pan I believe was damaged in shipping. It shipped in just its bare packaging, there was no bubble wrap inside or bigger second box to really stop it from sliding around, and there was basically a small hole in the box from where I assume the handle slammed into the sides. Also the lid was missing, so it was a bummer.After returning it and getting a second one delivered though, everything was much better. This time it was packed into two boxes with some padding added, seemed to have prevented too much trouble. Handle is secure and not wobbly at all, no dents or dings, I'm satisfied. Also a lid was included thankfully.First impressions: Damn this looks good but holy cow it is heavy. The copper layer is real and substantial enough to give this quite a bit of weight. It's heavy enough that some people will miss the lack of helper handle, but I don't plan on pouring much from this beast so the lack of helper handle or flared rims is not a deal breaker personally. If you are concerned about the weight, simply get the fry pan instead.Performance was damn good. This heats about as even or more than my All-Clad MC2 pan, and that pan is already way up there in performance with ~3.5mm of aluminum. This is already surpassing the standard D3/D5 All-Clad lines as an example. Also the pan heats up pretty quickly, for most foods pure medium is all you would need. Would not excessively pre-heat this pan empty, maybe no more than a minute flat and get some oil in already. Too much heat on copper while the pan is empty is not great as a general rule.The included lid is fine and works decently. It does not feel as premium as the pan though, seems to just be thinner Stainless Steel. Not a big deal but if curious, I would say every lid I've tried from All-Clad, Sardel, Cuisinart, etc feel more premium than this lid. Not sure if durability will be an issue if it drops, but I have other lids that still fit this pan in case the included lid ends up too beat up.So yeah took a leap of faith but the pan is legit. I like cooking in it and it's significantly cheaper than the comparable options, with very strong performance you usually can't get at this price point. They may need to work on packaging and shipping a bit better, but those concerns aside this cooks so damn well and is a real diamond in the rough.

The pan had a stain in the copper layer, but it disappear at soon as the third use. It is an excellent pan to use and to show.

My pan just arrived this afternoon. I was disappointed: the lip of the pan was unfinished and rough / sharp in 2 places. I've returned the pan and will wait for a replacement.

Could’ve been packaged better, my pan was dented slightly in a few spots. But pan heats evenly and well.

I love this saute pan. We have a copper clad all clad saute pan I compared it against, and the heat was much more even, and it spread the heat from my small simmer burner equally across the pan, which none of my large pans have been able to do so far. It does take more time to heat up and cool down, but that will happen when you have 1.5mm of copper and 1.5mm of aluminum under the under stainless. I actually measured the copper thickness with my dial calipers, and it was right around 1.5mm, so it isn't a sales gimmick either.I do wish it had a helper handle. My all clad is probably 2/3 the weight, and I use the handle all the time on it, and this oan is even heavier! Some other people complain about the outside clean, or it looking like stainless instead of copper, but it is just the heat discoloring the surface. Give the outside of the pan a good wipe down with Barkeepers Friend and it looks just like new.

I used the square skillet to fry four porkchops. I only used butter to fry them inThey stuck so bad and then I scrambled eggs, same results. I bought the big square pan wit the basket, I am afraid to use that. If.it sticks, I'm out. I orde%red these$60.00.
