Browned six pork chops in one go without crowding them, then moved straight to braising in the same pan. The stainless cleans up way easier than I expected, and it went in the dishwasher after.
The wide surface gives so much room that I seared four pork chops at once without them touching, and the fond came up easily with a splash of wine. It's heavy in a reassuring way, but the handles stay cool enough to grab. Going straight into the dishwasher afterward still feels like cheating.
