This Scanpan was a present from my father. My parents had their first ScanPan five years ago. They loved it so much they purchased a much larger one. Now for what everyone should know, they had an issue with the larger pan and ScanPan replaced it. My parents were so impressed they were happy to invest in a pan for me. This frying pan is the BEST I have ever had. Quality all the way. As my father said, if you have one good Pan, let it be the best, a ScanPan.
