The best cookware I have used, but expensive. The 4qt is good size pan and enough to cook for 2-4 people. I bought the CTX pan because it is one of the few stainless steel pans with ceramic non-stick coating. The lid with glass is good to check on the food and is said to be oven safe too. Easy to clean and looks good.
Ceramic clad in stainless steel...use metal utensils with no issues. This is my second Scanpan CTX purchase, and I will continue to replace my current pots/pans as needed with CTX. I have not stopped using this pan since it arrived. Dishwasher presents no problems.
