I am an exChef and family member who cooks. I am 74 years old and have gone through so many different types of cookware including frying pans! So many companies offer the ultimate pan, such as this one, but this pan has a very bad design! It’s one of those pans that they swear by, but they don’t really work! This pan LACKS THE ABILITIES OF EASY CLEANING! Once you have overcooked a typical dish let’s say Fish, the burn never leaves the pan!! I SAY PASS ON THIS PAN OR SUFFER THE RESULTS OF NEVER BEING ABLE TO THROUGHLY CLEAN IT!! -2STAR RATING ️
