"Nice, sturdy pan but....." star star star star_border star_border I bought this frying pan last weekend and have used it 3 times. Its non stick qualities seem to be excellent but the black base seems to have the thinnest of coatings and is scratched (showing through to silver colour below) in several places already. It's only been on the gas hob and in the sink! I'm not sure yet if this will affect the use of the pan but it doesn't bold well. If nothing else, it doesn't look great! support_agent A note from the team Thanks for placing your review. It sounds as though you've had a faulty frypan, so I'll be in touch shortly to help.
