Chef's Starter Set No.12

This thing handles like a dream on the stovetop. I seared a batch of chicken thighs and the surface took the heat evenly, no hot spots. It’s heavy enough to feel solid, but I can still toss and flip with one hand.

Bought this expecting the largest skillet to be unwieldy, but the weight distribution is spot on for one-handed tossing. Sautéing veggies and searing chicken in the same pan without swapping is a game changer for weeknight dinners.

The handle feels like a natural extension of my arm when I'm tossing vegetables, and the size is perfect for feeding a crowd without wrestling the pan. I've already used it for searing, sautéing, and oven finishes, and it handles everything I throw at it.
