I was previously using a 304 stainless steel 28cm frying pan, but as a man it was heavy and it was burdensome to use a heavy frying pan even when cooking a small amount of food, so I bought this product while considering a 304 stainless steel 24cm frying pan. It can be said that the 304 stainless steel is a bit annoying because you have to wait and check it until it preheats and the water droplets start rolling around in the frying pan. This has a ceramic coating so food doesn't stick to it. This is very convenient. Even if the ceramic coating peels off later, you can use it like the existing 304 stainless steel, so it seems like it can be used for a very long time.
