Buyer was crucial that it also steaks can be cooked, because the pan is tolerated to 400 degrees. That went well the first time around. Unfortunately, now stick even the fried eggs in the pan. In my experience, after one year (pan now comes in a ton), the prospectus requirements of performance characteristics are not met with respect. For the really hot stuff I now use a 30 year old Gußeisenpfanne that has been newly burned by the book. For the rest I have a Teflon-coated pan again. Both now costs together no more than the ceramic component.
