Loved this pan so much I got one for our camper. This way we can not forget to bring it. Jave both sizes for the house but use this one mainly. Tne low sides are nice for omelets.

Wife Proof !

I love these pans! My wife can actually cook eggs without sticking now. Although they do come in seasoned, I seasoned them 3 more times for added measure .
Honestly the best cookware period. Beautiful and robust. Bravo 🙌
