All the pots in this series have professional quality. I am amateur cook and have had various pots already in use. Last but not least I have finally turned away from beschichteten- and cast aluminum cookware because after prolonged use (1-2 years) but significant wear can be reported. Very positive is the strong base of the pan; needs a longer time to heat up, but can at the beginning of cooking energy Moderately be throttled, even after switching off the power source, the residual heat is sufficient even for cooking - please try.
