Conclusion

If I have to compare, this truly is the best and most durable non-stick available in the market. It doesn’t scratch easily and heats really well and consistently. I have not experienced the issue of over-burning with this cookware till date. However, it is important for you to know that the middle section of the base heats up faster than its adjoining areas. Therefore, whenever you are pan-smearing meat, try to avoid that area as much as possible.

Although, the product is marked safe for washing in the dishwasher, you must avoid doing so, if possible. This is a general instruction for all non-stick items that you use. Wash them with hand. Washing these cookware items shall not take you anything more than 30 seconds. You just have to pour a few drops of dishwasher soap on a sponge and wipe the cookware clean. It is truly that simple. Washing non-stick cookware in dishwashers reduces their life.

In entirety, the product is fabulous. It scores highly on durability, weight parameter and aesthetic value.
