I have an extensive collection of copper cookware from another premium brand and I was thinking of investing in a set the required less maintenance. I bought this frying pan to put it through the wringer before I went all in. Wow! The pan is just a beautiful as I had hoped and the cooking surface is amazing. Although it's not completely non-stick, it's exactly what I look for in a pan. Good looking, easy to clean, extremely heat responsive, low-stick, flush rivets. This pan has it all. It convinced me to buy nine other pieces. I did notice that after using it multiple times, the pan slightly discolored (almost like water stains). However, a little bit of their cleaning polish on a paper towel took it off immediately and the pan looks as good as new. I'm a huge fan of this cookware. I couldn't recommend it enough.
