Pan behaves as advertised, so far at least. I've only used it a couple of times, but I've used metal utensils and washed in the dishwasher and see no damage. It's probably not necessary to put it in the DW since any cooking residue does slide right off, but I wanted to check it. Very happy!

I am tired of buying fatty chop meat so I got this to start grinding my own , now I buy my own chuck steak and make my own chop meat , I have not tried it on anything else yet but cannot wait to , my next attempt this on chicken . It is extremely easy to use , a pain to clean but worth it knowing what you are actually eating
