This pan is a beautiful creation. It is large enough to fit four chicken breasts or steaks, or whatever you choose, without any crowding. The heat distributes nicely and the cleanup is easy. I love the handles that don't get in the way of anything else and allow it to go in the oven easily. I am excited to use it all the time and happy that I treated myself to this special gift. Thank you to Staub for their attention to detail and also for the beautiful packaging. Also thank you to ZWILLING for offering it a great price.
I am so happy with this pan. The enamel cast iron means no seasoning and easy cleanup. The matte textured interior allows fats and oil underneath the food producing great sears, browning and easy release. The cast iron heats very evenly and retains heat very well. The pan is deep enough to also use as a roasting/baking pan in the oven. The double handle design gives more cooking surface while taking up less space than a long handled smaller pan.

I love cooking fritatas and big breakfast in my cast iron skillet but they aren't quite big enough for a large crowd. This pan is the perfect size. Nice and wide with deep walls. Its great on the stovetop for pancakes and scrambles and also amazing in the oven for baked dishes. The enamel coated cast iron gives me great browning and an easy realease. It cleans up very well too. A great buy.
I love how this pan comes with 2 handles that make it easy to maneuver. With other pan that have a long handle, I find that if I have a couple on the stove top at once, the handles tend to bump into each other and when you're cooking dinner, the chances are that you will have a couple of pots and pans on the stove at once. I love how wide this pan is and it is great to be able to sear 4 filet mignons at a time because of the surface area.
