At first I had an expensive pan and after they broke down after 20 years, switched to ALDI. After 3 years of careful treatment but the ground was then warped. So I've been looking at Warentest and the AMAZON reviews. Actually I wanted to buy a WMF pan (because of a special offer-exchange action of drugstore Müller), but had refrained because of the bad reviews on Amazon and decided on the Tefal frying pan. First, I have taken the support of TEFAL in claim (super friendly and fast) because I did not know whether it should be the gourmet or "Jamie Oliver" model. Now I have used the pan already about 10 times and am thrilled genuine. The red dot will help in the optimum frying temperature and the rest works great. I had not been paying attention in marinated steaks and me is the pepper marinade burned, but no problem. Went with clear water and dishcloth everything super away. The heat distribution is impeccable. Used on an electric plate, each cm² felt the same temperature. I think I will soon be setting my 28cm gourmet pan.
Why only 4 stars ?? I find it a pity that it does not fit a commercially available glass lid but "rumrutscht". Sorry, but 24 cm are usually 24 cm. Here I find it a pity that I now have to spend on a new glass lid money. : O (
Otherwise, I would, as described above, buy the pan again at any time !!!
