How tough is this pan? Did you use front braces or is it strong enough to maintain itself without front braces?

We likes the fact that it has 2 front wheels. It is not a heavy duty tool but perfect for light moving of trash. The plastic tub is too generic. The crook that sold the replacement for $45.00 was okay until he attached almost $150.00 shipping changes, making it actually more expensive that buying a new whole wheel barrow. What kind of unscrupulous person would actually have the nerve to do what he did? Buy a steel work one if you need heavy duty. Vivian

It is plastic and to me it's tougher than steel and lighter. Steel dented and rusts. As far as braces. No clue. I removed my pan and put this on. Was a perfect fit. It's a 2 wheeler. Which you'd need for this huge 6 sqft pan. Very heavy when full. Too much for single wheel

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.

I've had no issues with this pan becoming brittle at all. The loafs slide right out of the pan. As with any bread making, grease (I use lard or butter) your pans prior to putting in your dough for the final rise and it slips right out with a great crust. Let the pan cool before washing, which isn't really necessary for the bread application, dry and re-season as needed. I've converted most of our cooking to cast iron and love it.

I'm sorry. I bought it as a gift for my daughter, so it isn't here with me. I did use it at her apartment, and I can say it's big (so it can get heavy, but the two handles makes it easy to lift), and it works well. You don't need dangerous non-stick coatings - the tri-ply was great even for pancakes. (Follow the directions for heating.)

I did had a Secure oven for about three monthsbefore it bit the dust. I beat myself for the next three months,( I absolutely loved it) and I neglected to register it because it looked so sturdy. LESSON LEARNED!!

I agree with E. Very easy. Just wiple clean with soap and water. And I have never loved a pan as much as I do this one. Have had it a couple of months.

Pan is very heavy. I love the pan but my husband has to help me with it frequently. As a result of carpal tunnel problems I don't have the strength in my wrists to handle it.

I bought it, but have not tried using it. However, the pan seems pretty sturdy, not flimsy at all. sorry I can't be of help.

Love the pan. Just make sure you keep it seasoned well. Oil shouldn't build up, you clean it and season it after each use. At least I do.

It is heavy duty so it will hold up well.I have Anolon heavy duty pots and pans and have no complaints.

Yes. My husband says it's the best pan we've had, and I tend to agree. It is extremely durable and long wearing. I'd recommend it to anyone whos wants a long lasting pan.

It is great! It's a very heavy pan, sometimes I wish it wasn't quite so heavy because full I have a problem carrying it. I have used it for everything!

I got one of the new rough finished Lodge cast iron pans. Food stuck to it until I honed it smooth with abrasives. Now it's great!

No - it has a Teflon-type coating. The overall thickness of the pan is not very substantial, but it seems to work well for me.

I found this pan, as well as a larger version that I have, to have cool handles and to be nonstick as well. Of course I use oil or cooking spray. I wore one pan out by using it nearly every day and replaced it with another because I have never had one as good as this one. FYI, I have a gas stove.
