That changes the Tefal and Co. stoves: the solid, this stove. The background is quite thick and allows the use on induction hob. The mass of the stove was 1.5 kg. The quality of the workmanship is very good, stainless steel rivets are very strong and very aesthetic. The handle is made of fine quality polished stainless steel (the hole to hang the stove is not polished inside). The coating does not stick and is easy to clean, but hey, the stove is new - we will see the behavior in time. For (almost) the price of 2 Tefal pans thin and poor to mediocre quality, please, take it.
