Cooking in comfort: convenient and practical traditional ceramic-coated frying pans for everyday use

The 100-year history of Vinzer originates in Switzerland. At the end of the 20th century, production moved to China, which did not affect its quality in any way, but made it available to a wide range of consumers. The frying pan of the Eco Line 89413 series completely satisfies the requirements of the modern housewife for the preparation of tasty and healthy food.

The product has an elegant design with soft smooth shapes. Made of die-cast aluminium, characterized by high wear-resistant and anti-corrosion properties. With a depth of 9 cm, a wide bottom (18.5 cm) and an outer diameter of 26 cm, the volume of the pan is 3.8 liters, which makes it easy to cook food for a large company in it. At the same time, the weight of an empty product without a lid is only 1.2 kg, so even a teenager can handle it.

Since there is no lid in the kit, you will have to buy it separately, especially if you want to stew food. But you definitely want to, because the depth of the pan allows it. Several options for covers are offered by the manufacturer. But any diameter of 26 cm will do.

The stainless steel handle deserves special attention. Thanks to a special silicone coating, it almost does not heat up, so you can not be afraid to get burned. There is a handy hanging loop at the end. The only thing I didn't like was the attachment of the handle to the case. It is implemented on rivets. Bolts would be more secure.

The main advantage of Eco Line 89413 is an environmentally friendly non-stick coating made of natural ceramics, which does not emit perfluorooctanoic acid and a pair of other harmful compounds when heated. At the same time, ceramics do not burn out and do not exfoliate even at a temperature of 450 ° C. I also liked the Marble outer coating, which is very easy to clean. Even stale grease and dirt are washed off without any problems.

A nice addition is that the pan is suitable for all types of stoves, including induction, easy to clean, both by hand and in the dishwasher. Well, of course, the price. For all the above amenities you will have to pay only 20 dollars.

Eco Line 89413 is a convenient and reliable "workhorse" for the kitchen, which, with proper care, will easily last 2 to 3 years.

The Belgian brand BergHOFF has been making cookware and cutlery for many years and does it with integrity. The Eclipse frying pan range includes the traditional 3700091 28mm diameter frying pan, which is a great companion for fried foods with little or no oil.

The pan is available in 2 colors: light green and red, and has a traditional round design. I would like to note right away that the color coating darkens very quickly due to temperature and loses its original presentable appearance.

The long bakelite handle is protected from overheating by a thermal insulating insert, so you can not be afraid of getting burned. But it is located too low, which is why it is not very comfortable to grip, and it is better to place the pan on the stove so that the handle is away from the fire of other burners, otherwise it may melt.

The pan itself is made of extruded aluminium, which explains the relatively small weight of 1.08 kg for its diameter. Extruded aluminium is the most inexpensive version of the case, and therefore not the most durable, but Eclipse 3700091 took care of this by using a special FlowerCase bottom with an anti-deformation disk. In addition, the entire inner surface is treated with three layers of environmentally friendly FernoGreen ceramics, without harmful impurities of lead and cadmium. Cooking on such a coating is not only convenient, since it does not stick and you can not pour a lot of oil, but also safe.

But it will be inconvenient to stew in a pan, due to the small height of the walls, only 5 cm. But it will be just right to cook juicy cutlets, chop, entrecote, steak, vegetables, scrambled eggs and even pancakes. Flower Base provides uniform and fast heating.

In Eclipse 3700091 you can cook on any type of stove, there are no restrictions on use. But you have to wash it by hand. The product is not intended for loading into the dishwasher, which is somewhat depressing, at a price of almost $ 40.

Otherwise, we have a good frying pan from a well-known European manufacturer, in which nothing really burns.

The Gourmet Ceramic series from Polaris includes 3 types of traditional frying pans with different diameters of 20, 24 and 28 mm. For other characteristics, the models are absolutely identical.

Gourmet Ceramic GC has received a slightly archaic design, typical of antique kitchen utensils. The product is made in black, which gradually acquires a red tint closer to the bottom, visually reminiscent of the effect of metal heated to red. Such a frying pan will look great against the background of kitchen furniture made in retro or country style.

Outwardly, it resembles a weighty cast-iron bowl, although it is actually made of cast aluminium, and inside it is a spacious smooth container 5.5 cm high, with an absolutely smooth transition between the bottom and walls. The latter are quite thick, due to which the heating occurs slowly and evenly. This means that everything you cook in this pan will simmer rather than fry or boil.

Bakelite handle with Soft Touch coating is incredibly ergonomic. It is convenient to hold on to it, and most importantly, it is not hot. It heats up, of course, but minimally.

The pan has a two-layer non-stick coating inside and out. Ceramic coating does not contain harmful metals and impurities and does not emit toxic fumes when heated. At Gourmet Ceramic, you can cook your own healthy meals with minimal or no oil and fat content. Products will turn out juicy, will not lose their real taste.

The product is suitable for all types of stoves, including induction, and can be washed both by hand - with a soft sponge and detergent, and in the dishwasher.

As a result, at a price of a little less than $ 30, we get an excellent retro-style frying pan in the kitchen for cooking delicious and healthy food, and even with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. Cheap and long lasting!

Almost everyone knows about Tefal frying pans with the famous thermospot. The Meteor C6830422 model has incorporated all the best qualities of a traditional frying pan, which is a real pleasure to use.

A thermospot is the same red spot at the bottom of the pan, which becomes brighter and changes its pattern depending on the degree of heating of the device. The dependence is simple, a change in the shade and pattern of the spot is a signal that the product is ready for loading products into it.

The frying pan is made of die-cast aluminium with a multi-layer outer and outer non-stick ceramic coating that has a visual effect of granite chips. It looks quite monolithic and solid, and in the hand it feels like a pleasant heaviness.

Foods fried in it are covered with a ruddy crispy crust, and many of them, except for being too dry, can be cooked without adding oil at all. By the way, the pan is suitable for all types of stoves, and even ovens, stainless steel induction bottom guarantees excellent heat distribution and no deformation.

The easy-to- grip Bakelite handle is bolted to the body, so it can be removed for long-term storage or transport if desired to take up less space, but this will not be an easy task.

It is better to wash the pan by hand, with a soft sponge and gel detergents, although it is possible in the dishwasher, but it is better not to do this. According to some users, washing in the dishwasher completely kills all non-stick. After the first "wash" in the machine, the products begin to burn. It is also undesirable to scratch the coating with abrasives or metal objects. Tefal, although it gives a guarantee for the product for only 1 year, but, as practice shows, with careful care, the frying pan can last 5 years or longer.

For all its merits, Tefal Meteor C6830422 costs not so much, about $ 40, and even those work out with interest. An almost perfect version of the traditional frying pan for every day.

Frying pan Positano PS0L0.24 from the "pure Italian" Ballarini - a high level of quality cookware at the right price. The company has existed since the end of the 19th century, has deep traditions and is positioned as a manufacturer of premium class kitchen accessories.

The product really deserves all the praise. Thanks to a thick 7mm bottom and 5.5mm walls, the product provides uniform heating and is great for simmering and simmering food. At the same time, it weighs a little more than a kilogram, which allows you to freely operate it with one hand. The bakelite handle has a shape and length that is comfortable to grip and almost does not heat up.

High quality forged aluminium coated with a triple layer of non-stick black ceramic protection. Nothing really burns in the pan, even without oil, but in order to last as long as possible, the coating requires careful care.

The manufacturer allows you to wash the product in a dishwasher, but at low temperature. In fact, this means that it is better not to wash it there at all, but to do it manually with a soft sponge and gel, because at a low temperature the dishwasher will not remove all the fat from the surface. And at high temperatures, the non-stick coating will suffer.

It is not desirable to allow contact of metal objects with the surface. No matter how high-quality the ceramic coating is, it is not so hard as to withstand constant mechanical stress for a long time. As practice shows, careful handling of Positano PS0L0 extends its service life up to 5 - 7 years. And this is practically a success, especially since the cost of the pan is not so cheap - 50 - 60 dollars, and changing it every year, in general, is expensive.

In general, BALLARINI Positano PS0L0.24, like all products of the brand, definitely deserves the attention of all lovers of delicious food. She will turn her cooking into an easy and exciting process, and you into an almost perfect cook.
