As far as I can tell, no one weighing in with an opinion here has ever used a Fissler Pan. That makes perfect sense because anyone that has would has could have answered the question quite easily. Is it worth the money? Yes. Let me tell you my story. Like most reasonable people, I would not have considered paying $250 for a frying pan. I was given the pan by a neighbor who was moving overseas. Like most reasonable people, I never thought I could fall in love with a pan. But like the people here that was before I used one. The one I have is older so it is not exactly the same. It has the super conductive base which heats up very quickly, will get very hot if that is what you desire and disperses the heat evenly. Mine has a waffled bottom like the "crispy" model. It browns evenly but almost never burns anything. You would think that the bumpy bottom would make it difficult to clean, but for reasons I can't explain, even crusty, sticky, cooked on food practcly rinses off. The edge of the pan is flared out about 1/2 an inch and slightly downward which makes pouring the contents easy and without any mess. You might think this edge would inhibit a tight seal sith its lid, but exactly the opposite is true. The lid seals so well that initially I thought the pan might be some kind of pressure cooker. You can make a pot roast in it right on the stove in an hour and a half and it comes out as if you had slow cooked it all day long. If you don't want that tight a seal you can rotate the handle on the lid and open the vents to let off steam. I had this pan for years and no one I knew ever heard of Fissler. i loved the pan so much I tried to find out more about it. I couldn't find anything on the Internet at that time. Fissler apparently didn't sell in the U.S. back then. I had no idea how much the pan cost or what kind of pan it was, but I knew there was something different about it. Well after 5 or 6 years, I decided to check again today. Suddenly Fissler pans are everywhere and I see the cost is very high. I couldn't afford to buy this pan right now, but if I could, you can be assured that I wouldn't hesitate one moment.
