My wife loved this at our daughter's house, so we knew before ordering she would be fully satisfied with the pan, which she is. Primary usage is for cooking breakfast eggs (3 days a week) -- but obviously other things also.

Typical Allclad quality cookware. We like the LTD line because it looks snazzy but all of the allclad frypans are great. Nice even controlled heat, easy cleanup, good release and good fond.

The 12" LTD fry pan is my every day fry pan. But if I had to do it again, I would go for either the Stainless or Copper Core versions. While I like the look of anodized aluminum (on the outside), the anodized finish rubs off: it is not as hard an anodized finish like Calphalon's original commercial cookware line. And this is from using the pans on both an electric and now gas range and also hanging the pots on my cache rack. The Stainless fry pan is just as heat reactive as the LTD line (I have LTD, Stainless, and Copper Core pieces) but is not as heavy as the Copper Core line, and is less expensive than the Copper Core line. PROS: Good weight, heats evenly, right every day use size. A 12" cover is available separately for braising or steaming. http://www.amazon.com/All-Clad-Stainless-12-Inch-Fry-Pan/dp/B00005AL6Y/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i CONS: The anodized finish is not resistant to scratching when compared with Calphalon's original commercial line.
