We really like this non-stick pan, and the concept of recycling, and toxic-free. Toxic-free was the main selling point, because I have had health issues and have reduced kidney function etc. We would have given 5* but my wife still smells a 'chemical smell' one month after purchase, and we wonder what this is. Any reassurance that this is not any toxicity would be appreciated.. And would lead to us purchasing more Earthpans!!
