Pan is heavy, and needs the auxiliary handle. It heats well and evenly on low heats. We bought this for specific use on a glass top range. I am not a large person, and found that I can pick up the skillet with my left hand, the trick being to use the heighth and length of the handle against my forearm for support. I can transport it to the table that way, serving with my free hand. I believe it was great value for the money.

Actually, I’d wanted a 12 inch All Clad Saute pan, but they don’t make a 12 inch saute with a helper handle on the opposite end. This (CIA Masters Collection) pan DOES have one, and is every bit as well made (if not better, since it has an aluminum AND copper core). And like All Clad — it’s hefty — so when you add food it helps to have the helper handle. It performs flawlessly. I’m glad I found one that meets all my requirements.
