Title: Once in a lifetime purchase
Review: We own several La Creuset skillets, but this one is the perfect size. The others seem almost laughably large or small. Size is hard to tell online, but this is a nice medium sized skillet.The only reason I don't give this product five stars is that people should be warned what they are getting. This product is very heavy and requires different cooking habits. Most notably, you never turn the burner above medium heat. High heat makes the food stick to the bottom requiring lots of scrubbing. The other trick to cooking with La Creuset is Bon Ami cleaner. It cleans these skillets with far less work and won't do damage to the enameled surface.As an alternative to cheap skillets that have toxins built in, there is no substitute for the life-time warranty, and durability of Le Creuset. If you think of it as a once in a lifetime purchase it is actually quite a good deal.
