But you need to test durability of coating eg 100+ uses performance do determine how much the surface degrades on each New performance is usually good even on low cost non branded but the non stick surface releases which is also a health hazard
The french made tefal (not the UK ones or the tiwans) are far superior but getting extremely hard to get the original ones which a tank can run over and not leave a scratch. These new pans are made of lower quality metals compeared to the old so its very hard to make pans like they used too so the non stick has come on a long way but my old french tefal is still going strong after 15 odd years, ive tried many of brands. Hex clad is pretty good but so expensive for home use unless you have the money. Le crusey (dont know how to spell it) are decent but again the new ones just dont seem to last.
Tefal is made in France, I should clarify that years ago they made continental destination quality and the homeland French quality. I don't as far as I've found so far and from online it seems it's all the same made in rumilly France. Going back there was still old metal which was much purer. As like any pans now that isn't the case is to get the purity you would be spending close too the 1k mark per pan. The most recent titanium pro tefal I got was 2 years ago which is good still non stick but the handles unless riveted just need a tighten every so often and if you over tighten it then it rips the metal and flakes off the non stick. Best you'll do is seasoning cast iron or riveted stainless steel for longevity but honestly for the vast population we want the best non stick and will just throw the old pan away and buy new. IMO I would spend the money on top line tefal and other quality brands and they'll last a good few years but you won't be passing them on to the next generation if you get the gist.

Can we buy those made in France now?

Could this channel post series 17/18 gadget show episodes please
Ive always viewed these brands as similar. Never seen one as premium over the other.
Shame they are both made using forever chemicals. Plain stainless steel would be just as good and could be seasoned for a life time of use
exciting stuff...
Got it's DIE quota in i see.
