Is this pan worth the price? How does the bottom hold up after cutting on it?

I think this pan is worth the price. Granted I've only used it 4 times, but every time it has worked like it was suppose to. The bottom is much thicker and heavier than other springform pans. I've also cut on it a few times and it has held up. Knife marks do show up, but they haven't completely gone through the coating. With that being said, I wouldn't recommend cutting on the bottom regularly.

With wear, cut marks will appear, but I had my last one about 12 years. Definitelyworth the price. In fact, I wouldn't buy any other.

Im a big fan of this pan. I went and bought a second one so I can make two cakes at once, and bought my sister one for Christmas. The finish seems very durable, I cut on it all the time, and have yet to scratch it. Yes, these pans are not cheap, but they are high quality.

I NEVER cut anything on a non stick pan... I DO think this pan is worth the price... It's not made in Germany, but, it's still my favorite non-stick pan... Highest quality I found yet...

We keep this pan on the stove and use it every day and have not had any problems with the pan. I love it and if anything happened to it, would have to buy another one.

I have not had any issue with the bottom of this sauce pan and I do not put it in the dishwasher because it is so easy to clean. I use a few drops of dishwashing soap and a paper towel and it is done. No matter what was cooked it is so easy to clean and no stains. I did have an issue with the frying pan version. The first time I used it and washed it, on the bottom running the paper towel around a sliver of metal came up from one of the grooves on the bottom. It didn't stab my finger but I was really surprised. It came off cleanly and I have had no problems since. I would advise buyers to check over the bottoms to aviod unpleasent surprises.

I don't cut on it. I have a junk pan I cut on and transfer it to this one. To me it's worth it to preserve the pan.

It has a smooth bottom. I'd buy this pan again, it has held up well to years of use.

Yes that the kind I have. I have heavily used the pan for 5 years now and I just started to notice some discoloration in the center, but I would say it has lasted enough. As a rule I never put the heat higher that 7.

I bought the pan to use on my glass top range. It's perfect! The pan has a nice flat bottom so it connects well with the stove surface. I have followed the instructions for bringing the pan up to temp over a medium heat and haven't had any problem with the pan warping. I have owned the pan for several months now and haven't had any problems with the surface either.I'd buy another one of these!

I have a small Le Creuset for almost 2 years and it is still perfect . The surface does not have scraches or other damages. It is a very high quality pan. It is easy to clean - just use a soft cleaning sponge with detergent and water and your pan will last for several years like a new one. I am very happy with my pan. Hope you will be happy with your as well. Just one tip: do not use metal cutlery in any kind of pan, just wood or silicone.

I have used this pan for along time now almost daily, cooking everything, high heat, meat, veggies, fish, etc. and it's the be most durable I ever owned. It's a bit discolored now at the bottom, but still no sticking or peeling. Have replaced all my other pans with the same product. I love it.

Teflon pans never had a chance, Stone dine was worth the money. I've used them everyday for a few months now and they still work like new. Never stick and easy to clean, and they are thick and heavy so I don't worry so much about the outside becoming warped from to much heat being exposed to them.

It's sturdy but probably better not to put something quite so heavy on it. There are plenty of good quality "clad"pans that would be better. I hope this helps. T

Chock it up to being a good deal. We love ours. No problems and we have been using it pretty regularly for twelve months. I have other Ecolution pans as well (with the white ceramic coating) and they are all great.

Mine has held up wonderfully. I cook on parchment paper, though, because it makes things brown slower and more evenly.

The finish on this pan is a little rough. If you have a stove-top surface that is easily scratched, you may want to avoid this item. (Especially for your planned use -- you'll be vigorously moving the pan around on the hot eye.) Several times while caring for this item, I have scratched/cut myself on the handle part. The bottom of the pan I received is safe, but it is a little rough and irregular. The pan is also a little heavy for your intended use.

Sorry, I can'tanswer your question. As I said, it's a nice pn for the money. I bought it because I couldn't afford to by the Calaphon coated pan or any of the other high priced pans.

I've had mine for several months now, and it does discolor a little, but it doesn't lose its ability to be cleaned, or the quality of how well it cooks. It's still my favorite pan to use.

The bottom is pretty sharp to be honest, but unless you drag the pans across the cooktop I think you'll be fine.
