First of all this is the prettiest thing I have in my kitchen, it is really a gorgeous pan. It is high quality with a nice weight to it. The instructions are a bit different than most of my cookware so I am using it for things that don’t require high heat on the stovetop as per the instructions, but it cooks more evenly than any other pan I own. I cooked shrimp the other day and was really surprised that the shrimp on the outside edges cooked as quickly and evenly as those in the center directly over the flame. The best part is how food just slides out of the pan and it’s a breeze to wash. In love with this!
