Ben recently moved and suddenly had to cook on electricity. Am a man alone and not a kitchen/cooking prince. I actually did everything in one (snack) pan. My old pans could no longer be used with the new induction hob I recently bought. With this new frying pan from Demeyere I now have a TOP quality pan, suitable for induction and other energy sources. I could have gone cheaper, but I thought, let's go for quality. It is certainly pricey, but it is a very nice frying pan. It is very heavy in weight, so if you happen to have something on your hands/wrists/arms that prevents you from lifting heavy, then this pan is not so suitable for you. I have no problem with it and even like the heavy weight because the pan now stands quite firmly on my hob. After using it for the first time, I already saw discoloration on the bottom after cleaning. I was not happy about that at first. But then I remembered that I had read on the internet that you should clean the pan with a scouring pad and some washing up liquid, when I did that again, those discolourations disappeared like snow in the sun and the pan looked as new as when I took it out of the box. The frying pan is just big enough to prepare a meal for 1 person. I actually don't like to cook, that's why I do everything in one pan, this frying pan is ideal for that. The price is firm, but then you also get a quality pan. I 'enjoy' even now when I use the thing, something I never expected from myself. Coolblue is, as usual, a TOP store, which I am very satisfied with!! Hopefully this review is of some use to you? Kind regards, Marcel
