It was a very quality pan. I have to use it at my mother's house as I have a an induction range and it would not work on it. My mother has a gas stove and I am not used to using it and had some issues regulating the temp. My mom used the pan and loved it. She had no problem with temp regulation. Goes to say that is was a user problem and not the pan. I left the pan for my mom to have and she loves it. Says is compares well to her favorite pans which is anything with a copper bottom.
