the cast iron helps keep the temp very consistent, which you need for deep frying, the resting rack is helpful so that the liquid or oil drains back to the pan, leaving things nice and crisp. I haven't tried it yet for stir fry but I've heard good things.
So, FYI, I ordered this with visual imperfections because thats all they had in the Grenadine ( my fav color) it was a good deal and I was prepared.. NOT a Single problem, Guess I can't go into quality control because this looks like a first quality pan in any and every way. maybe I was lucky but I've read elsewhere that Zwilling quality standards are so high that other people have seen the same lucky result!
