The color of this pan is gorgeous. The teal shimmer color looks a little like metallic car paint from years gone by.

The bottom coating still scratches off.

This pan is a great bargain. The price point is excellent and affordable. I'm writing this in my late 60's and there are not many purchases any more that easily get me impressed. That way my writing is not out of the new buyer high.

This is the first set of stainless steel cookware that i have bought. It is the kind of item you would give as a wedding or housewarming gift. I enjoy cooking and often experiment with new recipes, so good quality cookware was important to me.

The 10 inch stockpot lid also fits on the skillet, although the flatness of the lid may be limiting sometimes. It's great for steaming vegetables. My steel strainer/colander fits perfectly within the 7 diameter top of this pan.

We already have one of those so not needed. Sending it back. Seem to have to return more items lately.
