While I realize this bar is very low, I bought this because none of the hand me down pots and pans I have had a flat bottom. Cooking with them was infuriating, but I could not buy a nice set all at once. This pan was the first pan I bought to remedy that. Because of its size, it's versatile. It's sturdy but not incredibly heavy. Because of having this pot, I am back to cooking more often than not.
The beauty of the pot is that it does not stick. I gave it a “4” because it is relatively new and I don’t know how well it will last. I will update my rating as the need arises.
