Buying non-stick is always a challenge. There are so many factors. Add to that an induction cooktop, and it is almost impossible. Enter Madura Plus. The Non-stick coating will last. It will also brown and caramelize foods well. Plus the pans are made of forged aluminum - a 'uni-body' construction that the pans will heat quickly and evenly. And unlike most aluminum pans, these will work on induction burners. The sleek Italian design - black on black - is just a bonus.
