After many uses I have to say I am very happy with my purchase. I had trouble finding a coating without wok, but lighter and more suitable for the ceramic plate (many woks have rounded bottom) and it is exactly as I wanted. As is also the case with steel pans, it must be "prepared" with the first use, then dry and lubricate after each cooking as it can rust (which is normal and eventually not matter because we can scratch without problems and prepare again). It changes color as the months and years but this is the charm of uncoated steel. I pans De Buyer Wok and I treat it exactly the same way.
