I liked the design's look, rounded bottom corner to easily spoon liquids, its size and 10lb weight so purchased several for myself and as gifts. It worked great for cooking large camp breakfasts and dinners on top of a tailgater charcoal kettle and easily handles large quantity of biscuits in the oven. Note: The Lodge 15" glass lid is too small for this Titan skillet and sets down inside the ledge of this skillet so I'm still looking for a glass, cast or other lid that will set on this 15.5" skillet's ledge and lip.
