" ...  The handle is comfortable and feels like something you would like to use if you were a professional cook/chef, hence the "professional" in the product name. ... Remember not to use metal utensils to stir or scrape this pan and never use aerosol cooking sprays - I made that mistake a few months ago and it ruined the pan I had been using for 10 years, which looked brand new.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have since switched to the more professional, restaurant quality cookware (Vollrath is a favorite). ... I had been searching for a large enough pan, as I cook dinner every night for a household of 5 . ... When I say I cook for 5, it's more like cooking for 8-10 as I cook everything from scratch, every time, and make enough for everyone to take leftovers the next day - saving on buying nasty fast food/take out.  ...  "
