I got my sauce pan about three days ago and already it is my go to pan from cooking pasta to making sauce. you can tell that this pan is quality made as soon as you take it out of the packaging box. the weight of the pan tells you that it is professional grade. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends. I also own two of the ceramic frying pans from Fissler. I would not trade these pans for any other pans. I plan on replacing the rest of my cookware with Fissler products. If you are thinking about purchasing a Fissler product I would tell you that you don't have to look no further for this is definitely the product that you want to buy and you will not be sorry you did.
