All About Metrot Pans

Few people can do without pots in the household. Perhaps, only strict adherents of restaurant food, unwilling to cook at home for various reasons, do not have this item. But modern mass culture has made chefs the stars of numerous television shows: being able to “conjure” in the kitchen is now even fashionable and prestigious, and for this you need a whole arsenal of dishes.

Enthusiastic culinary experts and those who rarely stand at the stove should pay attention to Metrot brand products from Serbia.

Metrot is an exclusive supplier to the territory of Russia and the CIS countries of the products of the large Metalac holding. Its head office and 12 modern enterprises are located in the small Serbian town of Gorni Milanovac, 110 km from Belgrade. The plant dates back to 1959. It has been known to our consumers since Soviet times: tableware from Yugoslavia was a longed for scarce purchase. The main activities of the holding today are as follows:

• enameled dishes;
• stainless steel cookware;
• aluminum cookware with non-stick coating;
• kitchen sinks made of steel and composite materials;
• production of storage water heaters.

In Russia, Enamel pots and Metrot sets are best known and common. On the premises of the enterprise, the full production cycle of such utensils is carried out: design creation, preparation and molding of the base, enameling, manufacturing of accessories, painting and drawing, packaging.

The system of strict quality control and the availability of European environmental safety certificates, a highly professional team, vast experience accumulated over the years - All these factors make the products of the Serbian brand one of the market leaders.

Russian housewives managed to fall in love with the bright, varied in design Metrot pans. If we talk about enameled products of this company, then their differences from competitors are as follows:

• the use of high-quality, glass enamel, innovative in characteristics (three-layer coating Ferro, developed in the Netherlands); each enamel layer is fired at extreme temperatures, providing heat resistance of the finished product, such a material makes the dishes durable, it does not change the taste of products, is resistant to food acids, does not cause allergies, is easy to care for;
• carbon steel used for the base of pans quickly and evenly warms up, creating ideal conditions for cooking and long stewing of products;
• all components are manufactured in Europe according to strict environmental and hygienic standards, there are no harmful chemicals, products for sale on the Russian market have a certificate of compliance with GOST requirements;
• the bottom of the Metrot pans is perfectly flat, thick (from 3 mm or more), specially blackened, which increases the heating speed, and its composition allows you to use pans even on a finicky induction cooker and generally on all types of stoves; at the bottom there is a marking with a company logo;
• Metrot pots can be washed in a dishwasher;
• the company produces many bright designs and prints for every taste: laconic plain models with floral and fruit motifs, in traditional polka dots, with Provence-style decor and many others; annually about 10 new decals replenish the assortment (the so-called enamel drawing technology);

Choosing such a familiar household item as a pan can be a daunting task. In order for dishes to become an adornment of the kitchen, the cooking process was comfortable and the dishes received safe, you need to consider factors such as:

• all elements should be free of chips (if it is enamel), without scratches and scuffs;
• pay attention to the tight fit of the pan lid: it should be quite heavy and lie without gaps and curvature; the pan itself should also be perfectly flat, without dents;
• there are pots with welded handles and fastening handles on rivets; metal handles are strong and reliable, but they require the use of tacks, plus the fact that a pot with metal handles can be used in the oven; handles made of heat-resistant plastic (bakelite) are very convenient, do not heat up, do not slip, but there are restrictions on the use of dishes with bakelite elements in the oven, and on the stove you need to make sure that they do not fall into the open flame zone;
• the lid can also be either metal or glass with a bakelite handle - glass is a little more difficult to maintain, since dirt can accumulate along the stainless steel rim; the glass lid is heavier, and due to the transparency of the glass, you can visually track the process of boiling and cooking, although the glass can fog up; a hole for venting steam is often placed on the glass lid, however, sometimes this design does not justify itself: you still have to open the lid;
• pay attention to the marking: on the packaging or on the dishes themselves must be affixed with icons - for which plates the product is suitable, whether it is permissible to wash it in a dishwasher and by what means, what maximum temperature loads it can withstand; certified products of well-known manufacturers are safe, so give preference to pots with the emblem of the International Quality System and Gosstandart of Russia.

So that the enamel coating does not suffer, and the pan does not lose its attractive appearance, you need to follow such simple operating rules as:

• wash without using a metal abrasive brush and aggressive agents with acids;
• You can not put a hot pot from the stove under cold water;
• if the food is burnt, pour the cooled pan with cool water with salt or soda (one tablespoon per liter) and let it stand for about 2 hours;
• Do not heat empty dishes;
• the diameter of the burner should not exceed the diameter of the pan.

You don’t want to hide a beautiful pot in kitchen cabinets, it can become an adornment and an addition to the interior. Very popular series: "Oliva", "Glade", "Bouquet", "Eden", "Sakura", "Lavender" - a white or bright base and interesting compositions of flowers, fruits, birds are drawn very high quality and pleasing to the eye.

The usual prints with bright lush roses enjoy constant success in Russia, but the Metrot brand seeks to win the young consumer, as well as lovers of minimalistic design, so the collection “Luster”, concise and amazingly beautiful, appeared in two shades: powder and lilac. The main color is complemented by a delicate flicker.

Reviews about quality are contradictory: most buyers have rather durable and wear-resistant coatings, dishes pleases them for many years, but there are also negative reviews. Sometimes consumers who inattentively examined the dishes during the purchase leave a pan with a small unnoticed chip, a dent, a scratch.

All these imperceptible defects can increase during operation and make the product unusable. Most often, such troubles happen with online orders: packers and negligence of delivery services are to blame.
