Before being alerted by the hazard Teflon and other nonstick coatings as I bought everyone ... I tried this stove De Buyer. How many lost years!. True, it is heavy but has otherwise only real advantage: it is not sensitive to the tip of a knife and nothing actually. It's solid. She washes well, darkens its appearance over time. It also becomes non-stick. This product is made in France AND MORE therefore work of French! I recommend!
