Along with a single large saucepan, the chef's pan has become my most used pan/pot... it can be used for pretty much anything. Woks always felt too big to use for other things, and this one hits the sweet spot on size.
I'd agree it's expensive... but the amount I use it makes this one worth it. I wasted money on the other pans I barely use.
This is something I purchased thinking it would be useful for a few things like stir fry, fried rice, etc... https://www.lecreuset.co.uk/en_GB/p/3-ply-stainless-steel-non-stick-chef-s-pan-with-lid-and-helper-handle/SS53109a.html?dwvar_SS53109a_color=silver&dwvar_SS53109a_size=24cm-l3-3
It's a deep chef's pan with lid, works brilliantly on induction. I purchased a slightly different one one than the one shown here, this one: https://www.lecreuset.co.uk/en_GB/p/signature-stainless-steel-non-stick-chef-s-pan-with-lid-and-helper-handle/ES54104a.html but truly that was just to match the rest of the pots I had purchased and the one above is essentially the same and cheaper.
