Superb Fry Pan
I am new to stainless, but I love Creuset enameled cast iron and Mauviel copper, so when it came to stainless, I actually ran a head to head test between a Mauviel M'Cook (stainless) and Creuset Stainless skillets. And I like this one best.
I didn't compare to All-Clad which I feel is too expensive for comparable performance, and not nearly comfortable enough. I didn't compare Cuisinart and Calphalon stainless because I feel they cut corners to compete on price, and don't compare on quality (poorly balanced, handles too short, etc). But those are personal preferences, your mileage may vary.

Great Size Comfortable Handle
We have a larger All-Clad pan and the handle seems to have been designed by a sadist. This Le Creuset handle is very comfortable and the pan's polished surface cleans up nicely.

The 9 1/2" size and weight are perfect for many uses.
le Creuset tri-ply fry pan
What can one say about Le Creuset that has not already been said or written about. The pan is first class and cooks all foods very evenly. I only wish that I would have known about this earlier. This is well worth the investiment if you are a serious foody. Le Creuset pulls it off again and all I can say is Outstanding.
