Advantages and disadvantages
All products of TM "Gardarika" are made of aluminum by industrial casting followed by crystallization under high pressure - to increase the strength properties of the metal. Among the advantages of this product, the following should be noted:
- low cost;
- excellent design and ergonomics of products;
- excellent heat-conducting qualities;
- low weight, especially compared to cast iron products;
- lack of sticking effect during heat treatment of products;
- shorter cooking times for various dishes;

Among the few drawbacks is the lack of a cover (it has to be purchased separately), on some models the handle is non-removable. To increase the service life of Gardarik pans, it is recommended to follow some simple rules:
- do not heat the empty pan very much - you can ruin the non-stick coating;
- it is worth cooling the product gradually; sharp temperature changes will also adversely affect the integrity of the coating.
You should wash the dishes without the use of abrasives - both cleaning substances and iron sponges.

Reviews
Almost all users are very satisfied with the products of the brand "Gardarika" - There are extremely few negative reviews.
Consumers note the high quality of both the coating and the pan itself, the good thermal conductivity of the products (in comparison with cast iron, they heat up better and transfer heat to the prepared products). Consequently, cooking time is also reduced.
The ergonomic shape of the handle, beautiful appearance, ease of use and washing, as well as the fact that the handles are made of heat-resistant material, are also noted.
Most consumers do not even consider a disadvantage lack of cover. Also a big plus in the eyes of users is the low cost of products, despite the fact that the price / quality ratio is above the usual level.
Some housewives complain about the impossibility of removing the handle (on some models), which prevents the use of the product for baking dishes in the oven.
In conclusion, we can only note that Russian manufacturers are quite capable of competing with foreign colleagues, since the quality of their products is getting better and better from year to year.
