Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 6-Quart Chef's Skillet with LidA Chef's-Skillet ... A Frying-Pan ... A Shallow WOK-Pan ... A Paella-Pan ... A Casserole-Pan
It's all of those and more. Usefulness, Quality, Uniqueness and Weightiness makes this Skillet a must have, for those cooks, who are serious about his/her cooking plus it includes a domed-lid to boost.
If you only ever used a 10" frying-pan or skillet ... YES ... this is a large skillet, but you will quickly discover, the 'Helper-Handle' diminishes any awkward handling problems, you might be concerned about.
The 'domed' lid serves two purposes ... It returns evaporation liquids right back onto the food ... PLUS ... If some of your foodstuff is slightly higher than the rim of the skillet, it's not a problem.
Yes ... I too, gave it much thought, before purchasing the Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 6-Quart Chef's Skillet with Lid from Amazon. My only concern was the physical dimensions of this skillet. Then, as I started to think back, on how many times, wishing I had a large skillet, the choice was clear.
I have always savored the concept of a dual-cooking method, meaning 'start it on the stove top and finish in the oven' or in reverse, depending of the dish in preparation. With the un-coated all-metal Calphalon cookware that is never a problem as they will tolerate temperatures up to 700-F (371.11-C), even though most home ovens do not exceed 550-F (287.79-C)
Useful dimensions of this skillet not including the lid:
Inside Diameter: 13" ... Inside Skillet Depth: 3" ... Flat bottom cooking surface: 8-5/8".
It must be kept in mind, in the case of the thick-walled Calphalon cookware, the complete inside surface of their cookware becomes part of the useful cooking-surface.
KHS Tip: Always use heat-resistant nylon cooking utensils in any of the Calphalon cookware and follow Calphalon's recommended cleaning methods
Always Remember ...
The magic outcome of great cooking, is a combination of your passion and skills, infused and centralized with the tools you use, to achieve the end result. KHS

Description of Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 6-Quart Chef's Skillet with Lid
Calphalon Professional hard-anodized pans are made for the serious cook who's looking for kitchenware built to last a lifetime. This rounded, 3-quart chef's pan, for example, is shaped right for hand-tossing foods in the pan, and can be efficiently used for a variety of cooking tasks, whether it's making sauces, or braising and deglazing meats. Its nonporous and nonreactive hard-anodized surface resists sticking and doesn't affect the flavor or color of food--it's also tough enough to handle stainless-steel utensils. Unlike pans with plastic or wood handles, the extremely sturdy all-metal construction provides the flexibility to take a pan to the oven or broiler. The chromed cast-iron handles do get quite warm though, so keep a hot pad handy. Remember to hand wash all Calphalon pans--dishwasher detergents are bad for the finish, and their use voids the lifetime warranty. --Dale SteinkeAll Pans
