After about three weeks of almost daily use, I'm very satisfied with the WMF Ultimate Profi Resist 24cm frying pan. It's clearly a pan built for durability: it feels heavy, solid, and high-quality. The handle stays cool while cooking, which is pleasant and safe to use. I've used the pan for a variety of dishes, including steak, marinated chicken, omelets, and various everyday meals. In all cases, it performs reliably. The non-stick coating works well, although it's not a pan designed purely for maximum non-stick properties. Compared to true non-stick pans, it performs a little less well, but in practice, that doesn't cause any problems. The textured surface of the pan gives me confidence that you could also use metal spatulas in it. Personally, I always opt for wooden or silicone utensils as a precaution. Cleaning is easy: washing by hand with warm water and a little dish soap is enough to get the pan clean again. What is noticeable is that dark spots appear on the rim of the pan, precisely where the non-stick coating isn't applied. Fat can burn a bit there, similar to a stainless steel pan. It doesn't affect performance, but it does look a bit less polished over time. On induction, I notice the pan needs a bit more power to reach the desired temperature. Once hot, it retains heat well. I've used it for both simple weeknight meals and more sophisticated cooking, and in every case, it meets my expectations. The only real drawback is that 24 cm is a bit on the small side. All in all, a robust, versatile pan that performs reliably and is clearly built to last.
