A strong pan. It is a bit heavy, but that's his only fault. After cooking, I deglaze immediately with cold water (until the pan is hot) and I rub which could join with a brush coconut (wok brush). After the meal I pass the hot water, and I wiped with paper towels. This is my 6th 5 or use of this stove, it begins to pellet. If we follow the manufacturer's instructions well, ie do not heat up the hob (ceramic for me), it is fast hot and almost no grip. I use an oil spray, very little oil in the pan. I bought peasant pan 24 cm with high sides, and I will order the 28 cm. I bought the handle part, which is handy for storage.
