The pan may be well-made and cook well, but it requires extra effort for cleaning. It needs a wire to clean, it cannot be done only with a sponge. However, it withstands the wire. For those who want something non-stick, this pan is not suitable. On the positive side, it heats up very quickly and can cook and maintain temperature even on low or medium heat when other utensils require higher temperature to cook. It cooks meat perfectly without needing high temperature, which helps it stay juicy. If you want something to cook quickly, buy it... but be careful, it is not suitable for dishes that require non-stick properties! This doesn't mean that, for example, a piece of meat will stick, but an omelette will stick.
