Ceramic pan which company is better to choose
Ceramic coated pans have become very popular in recent years. And it is not surprising, because they are comfortable, durable and safe for health. Even if cracks appear on the coating, toxic substances are not released when heated (unlike teflon-coated products).
Unfortunately, not all ceramic pans are of good quality. Some companies use poor-quality materials and outdated technologies in production, due to which the service life of goods is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is important to choose a good manufacturer.
We present to your attention the most popular manufacturers of ceramic pans.
Italian company "Ballarini"
Ballarini is the largest nonstick cookware manufacturer in Europe. The pans of the company are considered among the best - they are known for their durability, scratch resistance and ease of care. In most cases, the dishes can be washed even under running water without using a sponge.
The case of pure forged aluminum and durable design provide uniform heating of the product. In addition, a special Thermopoint sensor is installed on the handle of some ceramic pans “Ballarini”, which shows when the surface is hot and the temperature can be reduced. This helps prevent overheating, which means preserving the integrity of the coating.
The service life of the ceramic pans “Ballarini” is about two years (after a year the coating begins to “fall behind”), and they are expensive - from 1 500 to 6 000 rubles.
Italian company "TVS"
The company was founded in 1967 in the city of Urbino, Italy. She was one of the first to receive a license to use the Du Pont brand, a world leader in the creation of non-stick coatings, as well as the creator of PTFE. Collections of pans "TVS" began to be developed by renowned designers.
Ceramic frying pans are known for their stylish design and high quality. They are resistant to temperature fluctuations, scratches and abrasion. In addition, a coating based on Sol-Gel technology gives the surface a smooth and shiny look and contributes to an even heat distribution.
Sol-Gel guarantees uniform “sticking” of products and protection from stains, but after only six months – year, the coating begins to deteriorate even without using abrasive powders and hard sponges. The cost of the TVS ceramic frying pans is 1,000–2,500 rubles.
Production of ceramic dishes “TVS” has a negligible impact on the environment, compared to frying pans with other non-stick coatings, saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions by 50%.
Bergner
Ceramic frying pans under the brand "Bergner" are very popular among our compatriots. They have an affordable price (from 900 rubles to 2 500 rubles) and good quality.
The products have a lid with a hole for steam to come out, rubberized handles, a thickened bottom that ensures uniform heating, and low weight. Aluminum frying pans are made. However, consumers note that the non-stick coating quickly (after a few months) loses its properties and products begin to pester the pan.In terms of quality, the Bergner tableware is inferior to TVS and Ballarini.
French company "Vitesse"
Ceramic frying pans in the range of "Vitesse" appeared recently. They are easy to take care of, they warm up well and are easy to use. But many consumers note that after a couple of months, and in some cases, weeks, the non-stick coating loses its properties, and the outer coating quickly scratches and peels. Moreover, some models of ceramic pans have too thin bottom and walls, which can be deformed
The cost of ceramic pans of this company is 600–3 000 rubles.
Firm "Maestro"
Maestro products are manufactured in China, and the trademark itself was registered in Ukraine in 2005. Pans are made from aluminum and have a non-stick coating Excilon Ceramic Coating. They are equipped with a comfortable ergonomic handle and heat-resistant glass lid with a notch that releases steam.
Prices for ceramic pans “Maestro” are low - from 570 to 1,300 rubles. However, many consumers report that after four months of use cracks form at the bottom of the frying pan and food begins to burn. In addition, some models are equipped with a plastic handle that melts during cooking.
Russian company "NEVA-Metal Tableware"
"NEVA Metal Utensils" is one of the largest Russian manufacturers of dishes with non-stick coating. The company manufactures absolutely safe and high-quality products, for which it received awards “Best Product of the Year”, “Made in Russia”, etc.
