1) Delivery and Deployment
The pan comes in a box in a paper slipcase, on its back, the instruction manual is. Demnäch the pan to 175 ° ovenproof (despite hard plastic handle), However, there is no information whether it is suitable for the dishwasher (which I generally advise against in quality pans). The manufacturer recommends before first use a decoction with water, then the pan is to be rubbed with a little cooking oil.
2) Use
Unfortunately, my copy is the grip was not clean bolted to the pan - apparently French permeability :) Use a screwdriver (Caution: Torx screw!) The problem has however be solved quickly. Otherwise the pan and especially the coating makes a very serious quality impression, also it is clean on the hob (in my case, a ceramic hob). A nice gimmick is the Thermospot which indicates by color, when the pan at the right temperature has (a professional this will certainly laugh at).
So far I have used the pan in the first line for frying (eggs, meat, potatoes, etc.), the result was here so far always properly:
- Due to the adhesive coating need very little oil for frying (depending on fried food reaches a teaspoon for the whole pan)
- The heat is distributed evenly on the fried food, the degree of browning is very good
- No sticking of the material for frying
- Cleaning is easy by hand - even with crusted remnants enough a short soaking and the pan can be cleaned easily with a cleaning sponge
With regard to the durability of the coating I can so far nothing negative to say, but I use basically any metal spatulas or cutlery that can damage them.
3) Conclusion
Apart from the shaky grip I've to complain very little, at the higher price, I allow myself but deducted a star. Otherwise strong buy recommendation!
