Not having actually used the pan yet, we are pleased with the pan. Upon delivery, one spot weld was broken on one corner of the middle support. Hoping this is not an issue going forward. And they really need to come up with a better way to put on the adhesive plastic they use for shipping. A lot of it is underneath the metal lips and very hard to get off. Had to use a torch to get some of it out of the seams. Hopefully this is all forgotten when we start boiling. Here's to a bountiful maple season!
