I always ask myself the question: what is the matter of the non-stick coating, so why rock? In short, not good granny! What I know is that this utensil does not really attached -even without GRASSE- material is lighter in hand, and this is easily stored thanks to its removable handle. I would have liked a more rounded and tight lid, so I take the lid of my old skillet and it was absolutely perfect! Life of the non-stick coating? I am not a soothsayer, but being careful, I think satisfaisant.Pradel Excellence - 52393M - Jig Way Aluminium Cast Stone
