What the testers found
Rated Recommended with reservations by America's Test Kitchen: the same performance and cleanup/durability scores as the Hestan, but 1 of 3 for ease of use. "Due to its narrow cooking surface and high walls, this pan’s capacity seemed a lot smaller than the stated 3.5 quarts." "we struggled to fit one pound of raw spinach," and reaching over the tall walls was awkward. Its slightly curved handle was comfortable.
