Poor Quality Stay Away
Pros
Nice Design
Cons
The non-stick coating has weak adhesion to the pot and is easily damaged (despite taking upmost care). One year of use and this is in the bin. Disappointing. Nothing like quality of Tefal or Scanpan coatings.
I also had a baccarat skillet non-stick and that has lasted 6 months and also in the bin. Wont touch this brand again.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.
