I’ve been trying a variety of ceramic pans over the past 2 years. Some failed at even heat distribution and all look banged up after a few weeks use. Truth be told, I have only used my Zwilling pans about 6-7 times so far, but they heat up beautifully and still look brand new. They are super heavy though, which I guess is the secret to even heat and long lasting quality, but I do think twice before lifting my pan with food...
