The perforations allow good crispness chopsticks. Produces a bit fragile to impact, the metal is a bit light but the nonstick coating is strong. Finally, it was in March 2013. After two months of regular use without (1 batch per week), chopsticks begin to hang without my having cleaned by scraping. I therefore oil pan. But that is not enough. Today, May 17, I found even the appearance of corrosion. Teflon is gone. I will soon have to put the mold for scrap. Too bad, it nevertheless croustille well. Perhaps is it oil from the start, but I think the coating is effective but poorly hung metal.
