the negative reviews sadly agree. We bought the first cup and no thick steaks fried at 400C, but shrimp and turkey meat, quite easily, at low temperatures. After 4 months, the coating was broken. The pan was replaced, but the second we have now almost the same story. It also looks after the first few days that the coating gets a dirty paint, which can not be washed off with prescribed detergent (no abrasives, clearly it is forbidden in such pans).
