Poor in the professional series of Ballarini but is definitely the handle. Especially in the smallest pan handle will warm very quickly ... rather hot. I'll put the gas stove the pan already greatly offset (the good heat distribution of the pan bottom is the thanks anyway fry still perfect from the hand) so that the handle is not too hot (despite low flame). In large skillet I have of Ballarini, this effect is not as strong (greater distance) but still uncomfortable.
Ballarini pans include mitlerweile definitely my favorite pans. If this poor grip Währe not, I would give it 5 stars and would have my favorite pan and favorites found. No other brand has nearly such a good P / L ratio (had 100-120 Woll pans) with one of these metal handles must be aware. Searing turns out perfectly by a perfect heat distribution and non-stick coating.
Despite the handle absolute buy recommendation but again, respect for the handle! (Especially in children)
