We used to use them a lot but have found better alternatives in most
cases. Most used are the Woll aluminum with non-stick, next is a 10"
copper pan for smaller meals, a 14" All Clad when larger is needed.

The CI comes out when high heat is desired for searing a steak. That
normally is done on the grill, but not when it is 2 degrees and a foot
of snow just fell.

I don't see that they have any magic in them.
