This is one of those must have's.. I have big to medium burners on my stove, (gas) when I want something to simmer just a little for a long time, this is a must. It keeps my soups, stews etc. from burning. gives a more even heat, and I have Calphalon commercial cookware.It keeps my stove cleaner, from foods that might boil over, or splatter. If you have a stove with smaller burners, the flame will spread out farther underneath for a more even cooking. This one says it's non-stick, which looks better then what I have!I bought mine at William Sonoma, and Calphalon only makes it for them.But mine is the same size, same price. Years ago I had one that was a smaller size, and cast iron, this one is bigger and more even heat. Just remember when using this, it will take a bit longer to heat up your pots, and do not touch it with out using a pot holder.It stays HOT for a long time.

Just put it on the stove and heating it up right now. The reason I got this one is because it was the only one I could get in a 9" which fits my burners to a "T". Otherwise I would have opted for a cheaper one.Anyway, the surface looked so slick when I pulled it out of the package I was afraid if I shook the pan the plate would fall off the burner so I almost returned it unused. I tested sliding heavy fry and saute pans and unbelievably it remains stationary. i wonder how they did that?Ok, so it's nice and hot now and I cant get it to budge off the burner by sliding and shaking the heavy pot full of ham and beans across it. NICE!I bought two of these because I can't afford the expensive cookware that cooks evenly and I have 10 lbs of veal bones sitting in my freezer for months now waiting on a decent pan to make demi glace. Still don't have the pan, but I know now I can put my cheap pan from oven to stove top and deglaze without scorching the pan or the bones and mirepoix. EEh Yah!To justify spending this much money on these plates I told my husband, it's a lot cheaper than buying the $1000s of dollars worth of pans I need. So I just turned my cheap cookware into something really special and expensive for under $100.00.I'll try to update as far as the evenness of the cooking goes.Off to thaw some veal bones!Update: I cooked the beans til almost dry in my cheap flimsy pan and they did not scorch or stick! This is a winner! Now I know what it's like to have expensive pans. Woo hoo!!UPDATE:After using them a while the wow factor went by the way side. I now use those flimsy cheap tin things that rust. It works 10 times better. I think they are sold for camping. Don't waste your money on this, if you want a long simmer you need some kind of air flow. Yes you will get a better heat distribution with this, but still I wouldn't waste my money again.UPDATE: 1/19/13I threw them out and still use the cheapo flimsy tin burner guard/flame protector. It's the best thing out there. I know cause I have a custom flame tamer that came with my pricy Kitchen aid gas stove. The custom one works well, but for some things I still have to pull out the cheapo tin and put it on top of the custom flame tamer.Don't wast your money on this. There are better things on the market.

I've had a set for three years; two with heavy use on a gas range, and one year in storage. Not sure when it happened, but both plates are warped. I also have a set of the less expensive Nordicware, and while they're not as efficient (especially on a low flame), they're in better shape after equally heavy use.
