This is a 12.4-inch jumbo skillet with high sides and a 5.5-quart capacity, sold with a lid. The ceramic nonstick coating is meant to release food with little or no oil, and the graphite exterior with a copper-tone interior gives it a distinct look. The high walls suit one-pan meals, braises and stir-frying that would spill over a standard skillet. Against plain 12-inch fry pans it trades a flat, low profile for volume; against enameled Dutch ovens it heats and moves faster but has thinner walls and less heat retention. Buyers rate it well overall, though some report the coating losing its release over time.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 618 ratings, buyers mostly like the size, the easy release and the low-oil cooking. Complaints center on the coating's durability over months of use and on cleaning the large pan.
It has a graphite gray exterior and a copper-tone interior. The pan can be used for searing, sautéing, braising and pan roasting.
The high sides contain spatters and keep food in the pan as you stir and toss it over high heat. The pan responds quickly to changes in temperature, which suits recipes that need precise heat control.
The ultra-nonstick ceramic surface releases food without oil or butter.
