Amazon.com Review
This moderately sized, deep, round-sided skillet is like a flat-bottomed wok, perfect for stir-frying and designed to facilitate a chef's C-shaped flipping motion. Because it exposes lots of surface compared to the diameter of its bottom (it's 6 inches at the bottom, 9 inches across the top), the 2-quart skillet is also ideal for quickly reducing sauces. Though not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. Contoured, textured handles of cast stainless steel resist heating on the stovetop, go safely into the oven, and are triple-riveted for durability and balance. Notches in the handles facilitate hanging on a hook or a peg. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Good stuff, gets a lot of use
I should start my review off saying that my pan was manufactured in Toledo, there seem to be issues with Chinese manufacturing according to some.

That being said, this little pan has become my goto pan for just about everything. The only exception to that is anything going into the oven I still use my all-clad pans, just a force of habit I suppose.

I still don't understand how people have sticking issues with this pan. I can cook eggs on it just fine, or just about anything else for that matter. Certain foods, like eggplant or rice, if cooked long enough and not tended to will eventually stick to the bottom of the pan. In those circumstances I will typically just soak the pan in hot water for 15 minutes and it will come right off.

Unfortunately I did not review the dimensions on this item and thought It was a wok type pan. I returned it.
