Amazon.com Review
This moderately sized, deep, round-sided skillet is like a flat-bottomed wok, perfect for stir-frying and designed to facilitate a chef's C-shaped flipping motion. Because it exposes lots of surface compared to the diameter of its bottom (it's 6 inches at the bottom, 9 inches across the top), the 2-quart skillet is also ideal for quickly reducing sauces. Though not nonstick, like some Calphalon cookware, the matte-finish pan is anodized for stick-resistance as well as hardness. Metal utensils won't harm the surface. Contoured, textured handles of cast stainless steel resist heating on the stovetop, go safely into the oven, and are triple-riveted for durability and balance. Notches in the handles facilitate hanging on a hook or a peg. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, the pan cooks without hot spots or warping and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

chef's skillet
Unfortunately I did not review the dimensions on this item and thought It was a wok type pan. I returned it.

Awesome Calphalon Skillet w/Lid
What can I say . . . Calphalon is the BEST! This is a great
skillet for your Chinese food! Love making fried rice in it!
Highly recommend this product!

My error on not reading all the specs
I am only doing this review so others like me will not make the same mistake I did. I did read other reviews(apparently the wrong ones) and based my purchase on them.
If you are one to do this than here is the most important thing.
.....THIS IS NOT NONSTICK........
I tried cooking a grill cheese(which had butter on the outsides)sandwich and the bread stuck to the skillet and I gave up.
Unfortuately, through my excitement of getting new pans to cook with, I threw the boxes away upon opening.
