+ The pan is well made. The click mechanism is without play and goes perfectly.
+ The pan bottom is characterized by its strength well in the heat distribution and is flush.
+ The pan looks at the beginning of quite pretty.
-The extremely scratch-resistant coating is described starting from the edge when the pan in the sink turns to scrub around the back while resting the edge of the sink. Well, not so tragic at the edge, it does not bother me. What then is a shame is the non-stick effect. That was after 10 times will use already significantly worse and is now no longer available. a stainless steel pan is this pan for when it comes to "non-stick" in Nothing.
On request at Berndes whether this is normal, limescale has advised me a little vinegar water or lemon juice to water in it Kochem to EVT. Solve.
Unfortunately, nothing brought. Then the pan was offered to me to send back, so you can check if the pan was okay. (Clear as if I return the pan and aluminum foil on the next three weeks cook ???) Here I think it would also have been a change of the basic price. New pan and send old then take back, especially since the pan was only 2 months old. But even with the highest-priced manufacturers Kundenfreunlichkeit is probably not priority No. 1
In summary, I have to say: Beautiful pan, but to adhere to the actual purpose "nichst" not met. Thus, they can be used only with a lot of oil and a stainless steel pan in no more advantage. At times the color of the pan slowly merges into the slightly yellowish and some passages of the pan are also so badly discolored, that even by vigorous scrubbing (Spülschwann, brush) they do not wegbekommt.
The Budget series of Berndes has, however, this problem is not as strong. But again, the cleaning and the non-stick behavior is bad. But the price-performance ratio seen better.
No buy recommendation from me. I kan however not imagine that here the pans so different quality ausgeliefet. So I really wonder how I come about the super reviews. But maybe some people cook only 1 times a week and then realize after months that the quality is not so great as described.
