I will say this :
the LeCreust " blues "
that I have and still have
were stunning for their time
some technical faults for sure
but so much better than anything from its peak time
and you let those faults slide
because all the other benefits far out weighed them
the skillet I might still have in the basement :
mine is the same as this one down to the cool(u)r
was a major disappointment
although fairly classy looking
P.S.: had this been in Blue , Im sure it would have been a much better pan.
