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...

The removable pot is very sturdy but has a non stick finish. I initially had reservations about that part but have been pleased and not had a problem. I've had almost a year, use about once a week. Food does not stick, it cleans easily and so farther no scratches.

Yes, it is a very sturdy pan. The bottom is extra thick and the sides are thicker than a lot of sauce pans.

I would absolutely by this pan again, I have had it now for a number of months, probably use 3-4 times weekly...rarely with non-stick friendly tools...and it is showing no sign of wear. Recommend highly!

I bought 2 of these pans a couple of months ago and so far I love them!!! They have not warped and the heat distribution is great!!! They are very heavy duty pans and the handle has lots of rubber coating. I would highly recommend this pan. Hope this was useful

There are not any sharp edges on the pan. It's all pretty safe. Mine has scratched up some but it's not horrible and I don't think there's any way it wouldn't. But it all seems pretty durable.

I found it of good quality. I have had no issues with the griddle. I don't use it all the time, since its just myself and my son, but I have had no problems with the pan at all.

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'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

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.

My pan has a non-stick coating. I can tell as the interior of the pan is different as compared to the bottom. A mixed blessing, new they are excellent but with time they usually scratch and begin to peel. It is a heavy aluminum pan and an excellent product but I get tired of having to replace pans as the coatings do not last indefinitely

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.

Pan is worth every penny, still non stick and use it sometimes 3 X a day!!! No cracks. Have had it at least a year.

I've only had the paint in place for a couple of months, but it has two top coats of clear finish over the paint, so I would expect it to be fairly durable to the friction of wear along the edge, but I can't really give you any long term experience. So far, it seems pretty durable, but we don't use our kitchen hard, being semi-retired and not having a lot of cooking to do like when the kids were growing up.

No, not at all! It is very sturdy. I use this pan at least 3-4 times a week and have had it over a year now and now signs of warping at all.

Yes, I would buy this pan again and again (even as a gift). I have had it for a while (months). I use it every day, especially at breakfast, instead of using a pan from my more expensive sets. This pan distributes very evenly and the monogrammed non-stick coating is the absolute best in my opinion. A quick wipe with paper towels over the trash can while still warm makes a perfect cleanup.

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.
