I have a pile of unused & unusable fry pans (several are bird baths) that did not disperse heat evenly on induction (or pan interior deteriorated). I was optimistic as Venice Pro is sold as improved induction heating. Yes, you must use lower heats but distribution and cooking effectiveness quite acceptable. I would not use to fry steaks or for high heat use. Items cooked previously with burn areas due to uneven heat with this pan were evenly brown at lower recommended settings. Only time will tell if pan interior surface remains pristeen as I've had this break down with other pans. So far though so good. Only 4 stars as it is still early days (1 month), but am optimistic.
