All items of this brand with sleeves "Bakelite" are exceedingly dangerous. The sleeves brutally break without warning, for one it happened to me with all the pans after about a month of use. I was very lucky because the hotplates are near the sink, each time the accident happened while I was very close to the sink tray. You risk severe scalded and seriously injure your children. These items should be banned from sale in Europe, I do not understand the CE label for this brand.
