When we were kids we had a frying pan almost exactly like this and I think we cooked 50% of our meals in it - including chili! My parents had received one with a glass top when they got married that lasted a long time. An avocado green one replaced that and then a golden rod one - with nonstick, that was not so great. The first one was the best one.
