Love the size and high lid
I use this pan a lot because I don't have to worry about my kids damaging it with metal utensils. It's nice and deep so it's good for frying. It's also very attractive. It is not non-stick but cleaning it has been pretty easy. I just dump everything out of it and then put a few cups of water in it and put it back on the stove for a few minutes. I use a spatula to just remove everything from the bottom. It take less than a minutes to get almost everything out of it. I clean all my stainless steel and cast iron this way. A scratcher sponge for the little bit left and it's clean. It also goes through the dishwasher well.
Excellent for popcorn, but use a vented lid
I bought this pan specifically to use as my designated popcorn pan because of its depth and domed cover. For popcorn, a vented lid allows steam to escape and prevents the popcorn from becoming soggy. I am using a T-Fal 11" vented lid. So far this has been an excellent pan for popcorn. It holds 3/4 cup of popcorn and when popped fills the pan completely, when using the aforementioned lid. It has a large flat bottom, and an aluminum base to distribute heat evenly.
I have not used the domed cover / lid but like the fact that it has a glass insert allowing sight in to the pan while cooking. I have not used this pan to cook a chicken so I am not able to attest to its use in that regard. I would be concerned about cooking anything in the pan that is heavy as the stainless steel seems a bit thin and the handle is attached with spot welds instead of rivets. There seems to be a significant amount of flexing between the handle and the side of the pan where it is attached. I noticed...
