I have the 5 qt version of this pan that was purchased 11 years ago. It's used several times a week and has held up incredibly well. It cooks evenly and is very easy to clean. I've never put it in the dishwasher, it would take up too much space, but hand cleaning it with Dawn and a sponge works great. It's not non-stick, of course, but with a small of amount of oil I've never had an issue with most foods sticking. I don't see any reason to buy a more expensive pan.
