Great !!!!
Face it, that 12" pan that works for 1 or 2 of you really isn't going to do the job when you have a crew over. Paella works best when you don't crowd the pan. Stacking stuff up 6" tall in the middle of that 12" pan is probably not going to work very well. You *need* a big pan for a crowd.The down side is that there simply is no way to fit a 20" pan on your kitchen stovetop burner. Heat distribution is good, but it's not *that* good ....:) ). Unless your oven is way oversized, you can't shove it in the oven. You need some sort of big burner. Figure out where that is going before you buy the pan !!! A multi ring burner is a really good idea. The "L 40" types seem to work pretty well with this pan.Cleanup is no better / no worse than any stainless steel pan. It's not teflon. The advantage of this pan over carbon steel is that this one isn't going to rust in storage. You also don't have to worry about blasting the seasoning off like you would on the carbon steel version.Are riveted handles better than welded on handles? That debate can take up a few thousand pages. These handles are solidly attached to the pan. Are the rivets easier to scrub than the weld marks? neither one is perfect in that regard.To me the big plus for this pan is the heat distribution. Even with a good burner, you want to keep things uniformly hot. That's been easier with this pan than with the lighter weight stuff. Fewer issues to deal with during a big cook is *always* a good thing !!

Unique stainless griddle for induction
Induction "burners" have localized heating that requires very heat-conductive cookware, especially for frying. I have tried cast iron griddles, but they have a hot spot right over the induction coil, and the temp drops off rapidly, so the side of the pan is 50 deg cooler than in the center. My pancakes were cooked on near the center, but the edges were uncooked!This pan solves that problem with a conductive layer of aluminum (They don't reveal, but the pan is too light for a copper core). The temperature on the sides is only slightly cooler than in the center, and my pancakes are a success!Cleanup is easy because it is stainless. I wipe out excess oil and heat water with washing soda (sodium carbonate) for 15 minutes. Any residues simply dislodge or a few wipes gets them off. Oven cleaner can be used for the bottom or tough stains.I searched high and low, but I think this is the ONLY round stainless steel griddle with a heat spreading core that is NOT nonstick. Lots of non-stick options, but I wasn't interested. There are also some steel options, but the heat conduction is not as good. Gas flames distribute heat much better than induction. Good heat conduction is critical for griddles on induction burners! This griddle delivers, and at a very reasonable price.

Almost perfect
I've been using a regular paella pan for decades. But lately, having an induction top, made this old and warped pan less usable. After a very long research, I decided on this one.Positives:It works excellent on an electric/induction stoveeasy clean updoesn't require the maintenance of a carbon steelNegatives:Despite having the same official measurements, my carbon steel pan had a slightly larger bottom AND especially important - slightly higher walls.Being used to the old pan, I knew the measurements by heart. This pan makes it difficult to cook the same portion for 7 people. At best it's enough for 6. The other was perfect for 7 and I had a little left overs for the next day lunch.Otherwise, nothing bad about this pan to report.

No paella yet, but fantastic pizza pan!
I got it for a deep dish pizza pan! Heat it up, lay the dough and it's already sizzling before you put it back in the oven! It made a great crust on the pizza. As for paella, I don'tknow yet. Great looking pan too
