Summary: Excellent for the Price
Comment: I purchased this item because I needed a bigger skillet for cooking items such as chicken. When I received this skillet the first thing I cooked in it was chicken. I was very impressed with the way it cooked chicken. It also is very easy to clean. I do agree with others when they said it should have the red dot to let you know when its preheated, but I think that is just a minor issue. I look forward to using this skillet more. (and I hate to cook) I am pleased with this purchased, and have bought several more for gifts. The people that received this skillet as a gift was very happy with it as well.

Summary: Great quality and price
Comment: This is one of the few deep skillets that I could find that is dishwasher safe and big enough to hold a five-person family one pot meal. The non-stick is great and easy to clean and the glass lid makes it easy to tell when the food is ready.

Summary: Good while it lasted - 4 uses!
Comment: As others mentioned, this pan is made in China. It's lightweight and not sturdy. However it looked nice upon arrival. After 4 uses, it has warped. It no longer sits flat on the surface (a flat cooktop) and a gentle nick on the handle sends it spinning away. It was used a total of 4 times over 2 weeks. Now to see what T-Fal will do for me. It was not put in the oven or used over high heat or abused in any way.

Summary: Works well especially for the price
Comment: We purchased this 5 quart cooker based on it's size and the fact that it shipped with a lid. This pan has not disappointed us. It is quite large, in fact we had to clear out a special spot in our cabinets for it. Over the last three months it has worked as expected. The non-stick surface is functioning well and we have not had any issues with scratches or sticky food.

I don't miss the red dot that is on most of the T-Fal products mainly because I know how to cook and I know when a pan is at the correct temperature for what I am making.

I would have preferred a metal lid because I am fearful one day I will either drop the glass lid or it will break being banged around in the cabinets. Being able to see what is covered isn't a necessity because I know when my recipes are done. I don't lift the lid except when I am stirring.

If you are like me and prefer buying inexpensive cookware and replacing it more often (every 3-4 years) rather than over paying for expensive equipment and hope it lasts then this is a great pan for you. Granted this doesn't beat a comparably sized cast iron pan, but it is a nice addition when you want a non-stick surface.
