the base should be perfectly flat and fit the size of the burner. Do you have a headache from all these nuances? It doesn't matter, because we have already picked up the top five models for induction panels. These are roomy pans with a diameter of 28 cm, from low-cost to more expensive, which will allow you to feed a large family. They differ not only in price, but also in materials, depth, thickness, coating, configuration (with and without a lid) and exactingness, because some are not afraid of metal accessories and are friends with ovens and dishwashers.

In the table, you can compare the characteristics of all described in the review of frying pans, and in the general section you will find even more pans to choose the most suitable one.

The model of the famous Ukrainian manufacturer Biol will definitely be appreciated by fans of good old cast-iron pans, which have strength and durability. This material provides uniform heating, retains heat for a long time and is resistant to scratches and damage: unlike most modern models that recognize only silicone or wooden accessories, this one is not afraid of either a metal spatula or forks with spoons. But there is no non-stick coating here, and cooking without oil will definitely not work. In addition, so that the frying pan does not deteriorate over time, and the food does not burn to the bottom, cast iron needs special care: calcining with salt before the first use, oiling after washing. Also, the material is susceptible to corrosion, so the dishes must be wiped dry and not left in the refrigerator with food.

The frying pan will help to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner for several people at once, as it is quite large and deep. The height of the walls is 6.6 cm, and the diameter of the bottom is 23 cm. Thanks to the thickened walls (3.5 mm) and the bottom (4 mm), the food warms up evenly, so the steak will not be fried on the outside and raw on the inside. However, the size and materials affected the weight — more than 2.5 kg. To make it easier to hold such a heavy frying pan, a small auxiliary handle is provided on the opposite side. As for the main handle, it is made of wood and most importantly — removable. And this saves space during storage, and the possibility of using it in the oven.

Cast iron cookware is suitable for various types of stoves and cooking surfaces: induction, gas, electric, ceramic, etc. But it will have to be washed manually — a dishwasher is contraindicated for her.

The RiNGEL brand frying pan from the Koriander series stands out for its great depth and capacity, so it is perfect for cooking large portions for several people at once. It can be fried and stewed in it, and the high walls prevent the splashing of hot oil and prevent the ingredients from falling out on the stove or cooking surface while stirring. However, there are complaints about a slightly curved bottom, as a result of which the oil spreads along the edges.

The tableware is made of forged aluminium and has a non-stick marble coating Marble coating. The outer coating is also non—stick — for easier care. The manufacturer assures that all materials are completely safe for people and the environment.

But, perhaps most of all, RiNGEL RG-1107-28 will please with its configuration: together with the frying pan you get a lid made of heat-resistant glass with a small hole for steam to escape. This is very convenient, since there is no need to select the lid by size yourself. And the cost of such a kit is not too high.

In addition, a bakelite handle is provided for convenient and safe cooking, which does not heat up with the dishes. But, according to reviews, both handles (the main one and on the lid) are a little loose, so they will have to be twisted on their own. The frying pan can be used for all types of stoves, including induction stoves, as well as dishwasher-safe.

The representative of the Walzer tableware collection, which Rondell created together with the famous Italian designer Gianpietro Tonetti, stands out for its minimalist design, wavy wall pattern and classic black coloring. This is a roomy frying pan designed for cooking a large amount of food. At the same time, the rejection of the rounded walls of the inner bottom allowed to increase the usable area: if the diameter of the lid is 28 cm, then the diameter of the bottom is 25.2 cm. Of course, with such angles, it is not so convenient to pick up and turn the ingredients, but you do not lose extra centimeters. The sides are also quite high (6.5 cm), so this frying pan is perfect for frying and for long-term languishing of dishes.

The tableware is made of thickened cast aluminium: the bottom has a thickness of 4.5 mm, the walls are 2.5 mm. The internal titanium-based TriTitan non-stick coating is designed for long-term service and is not afraid of even metal blades and spoons, and the external non-stick coating is responsible for easy surface care. A bakelite handle with a soft non-slip SoftTouch coating is also provided for convenience.

Rondell Walzer RDA-769 can be used on any plates, and the diameter of the induction disk is 20 cm. But the frying pan is not suitable for dishwashers or ovens.

By the way, in the Walzer line there are also smaller models with a diameter of 24 and 26 cm. All of them are packed in a box with a recipe book inside and will be a good idea for a gift.

The frying pan is included in the exclusive collection of Rondell Mocco&Latte tableware and is painted in a pleasant coffee shade, so it will become not only a reliable, but also a beautiful accessory in the kitchen. Its packaging is also pleasing — an individual cardboard box and a colorful booklet with recipes of dishes inside. So it will be a great gift for relatives or friends. However the cost of a frying pan is quite high, but you always have to pay for the quality.

The model belongs to the classic type and has a size of 28 cm, that is, it is designed for large portions. It is made of stamped aluminium and boasts a TriTitan three-layer non-stick coating based on titanium. It is resistant to damage, allows you to use any accessories, even metal ones, and cook not only delicious, but also healthy dishes without adding a lot of oil. The walls and bottom are 3.5 mm thick, while the inner surface of the bottom is covered with small cells. On such a corrugated surface, the food does not burn, gets an appetizing crust and retains its juiciness. But there is a downside to the coin: leftovers can get stuck in these cells, which makes it much more difficult to clean the pan after use.

The handle is made of stainless steel and has a silicone finish. It does not heat up and does not slip out of your hand, it is long enough and with reliable fasteners to hold a large dish with a dish.

Rondell Mocco RDA-278 is suitable for all cookers, including induction cooking surfaces. The diameter of the induction bottom is 18.5 cm. In addition, the frying pan can be washed in the dishwasher. But it is strictly forbidden to send it to the oven.

In addition to the 28-centimeter model, versions with sizes 24 and 26 cm are also available.

The classic frying pan of the Tefal brand, which has a high reputation in the market of kitchen accessories and appliances, is not cheap, but it is designed for long service and, according to the manufacturer, use in extreme conditions. Of course, after these words, it is not necessary to throw the frying pan into the fire and scratch with a knife — it is just as convenient as possible and devoid of most of the restrictions that are inherent in non-stick cookware.

First of all, the Tefal Unlimited line is made in France, which already inspires the preparation of culinary masterpieces. Secondly, a multilayer coating of Titanium Anti Scratch 6x is used, which combines an aluminium base, several protective layers, including reinforced with solid crystals, and an internal and external non-stick coating reinforced with titanium. By the way, it does not contain harmful substances such as lead and cadmium, so it is completely safe for health. As a result, the dish does not burn, you can fry the products without adding oil, which fans of proper nutrition will definitely appreciate, and there are no scratches on the surface even from metal accessories. Forks and knives should be set aside, but the frying pan will not suffer from a metal spatula in any way.

Tefal Unlimited G2550672 is designed for a large family, where they cook often and a lot. Its size is 28 cm, and the sides are quite high so that the hot oil does not fly all over the kitchen. Rounded edges are also provided for convenient draining of liquid or transferring food to a plate and a sufficiently long bakelite handle that does not heat up during operation. However, the frying pan is not easy at all. The weight is felt in the hand, although this, at the same time, gives it solidity.

There was also a branded thermal sensor Thermo-Signal. It is a red circle with an hourglass in the centre. When these hours disappear, it means that the dishes have warmed up to the optimal temperature and are ready to start cooking. A few more advantages in the piggy bank of the model are the possibility of cleaning in the dishwasher and compatibility with the oven, but not at high temperatures — up to 175 degrees. This is convenient if the dish needs to be brought after frying on the stove or there are no suitable dishes at hand. But the handle is not removable here, so it simply won't fit in a small oven.

Finally, the frying pan is compatible with all types of cookers — induction, electric, gas, etc. Moreover, Thermo-Fusion+ technology combines a thick bottom and a wide induction disk, which guarantees fast heating and uniform heat distribution.

By the way, if you do not cook in large portions at once, smaller sizes are available — 26 and 24 cm.
