Bought the 28" frying pan as I didn't want to be cooking with non stick any more and I love it. Cooks beautifully and cleans up perfectly. We've had our Stellar saucepans for nearly 30 years and they look brand new still and I don't see this pan being any different. Was one of the more expensive pans I looked at but i'm pleased I spent the extra. Once cold I have soaked it and its cleaned up easily, I haven't tried it in the dishwasher.
