Use it abuse it, a quick spray of P_M, no tin foil and it's good to go. there is a little scuff about the size of a quarter, where I thought I would speed up cleaning around the edges with a 3m green pad, lesion learned. a few drops of dish cleaner a mild brush and its ready for the next round. I even put it in the dish washer maybe once a month, no sweat. the orange thingies are blackened but hold up at any temp. with out melting, on my stove, always use pot holders but they look nice for awhile. nice gauge no bending or buckling. mine was gray, its now brown/black!
