This pan heats quickly and evenly, using lower temp on stove. Pan is heavy and I have to use two hands to lift it, not only because of the weight, but also because the handle feels thin compared to the pan itself. Also, after cleaning it leaves the finish cloudy. Tried baking soda and that didn't work. Arrived without any instructions and without warranty card. Didn't get much help from HSN. Am keeping it though because it cooks well and the size is great.
