The quality of products manufactured by German industry, no one will be able to challenge. This fully applies to German pans. But they will definitely have to be selected, taking into account the characteristics of each brand.
General information
In Germany, do pans designed for a wide variety of consumers. The factories of this country are able to establish the work of designers and choose very nice colors. Another attractive aspect of German products is the use of a wide variety of materials. Titanium products have the longest life. They allow you to use steel utensils for the kitchen.
German-made cast iron pans are also quite durable. They are not damaged even under severe mechanical stress. Cooking in cast iron dishes is easy and simple. Even with a complete lack of experience, you can cook amazing dishes with crisps.
In Germany, they make excellent ceramic pans suitable for a wide variety of stoves (except for centers of induction type).
Major brands
Concern stands out among German companies Woll. His specialization is cast aluminum cookware coated with titanium and ceramic. The material is not just applied over the main structural layer - it is fused into it. This solution allows avoid burning almost anyway.
Woll technology, as the manufacturer claims, allows you to cook without the use of oils.
Fissler cookware shows very good results. This company leads the world in the production of pans made of stainless steel grades. Fissler products are manufactured with an innovative design approach.
From the inside, pans are equipped with a marking that allows you to determine the liquid level.
The designers took care of the possibility of placing the glass lid vertically on the edges of the tank and the use of a heat-distributing bottom.
Among the leading brands deservedly entered and Kaiser Hoff. It produces pans made of cast iron and aluminum. Characteristic features are a gray coating with non-stick properties inside and a color heat-resistant layer on the outside. Each frying pan is high-quality and durable.
This review, however, should not end.
Other manufacturers
SKK products are also premium class pans. This manufacturer has existed since 1985. The production base is located near Cologne. The main structural material is cast aluminum. Any SKK model uses a non-stick coating.
Important: all specimens are cast by hand, and only then a non-stick layer with a thickness of 60 microns is applied.
This approach allows you to achieve completely exceptional performance. The pan is ecological, with a thickened bottom (about 1 cm). Thickening of the bottom increases the thermal conductivity of the dishes and at the same time eliminates thermal deformation. Thanks to professional technology, the product will last as long as possible.
SKK Company tested its products at a leading German certification center. He issued certificates of premium quality and absolute safety of products. Series Diamant 3000 it is intended for gas, electric and glass-ceramic centers.
Important: this series of dishes cannot be washed in dishwashers.
The manufacturer uses the perfect five-layer coating to improve non-stick properties.
Titan induction, as it’s not difficult to understand from the name, it is intended first of all for induction cookers. Titanium is not used in the construction. Like other SKK pans, these products cannot be washed in dishwashers. The diameters of the products of the Cologne concern are from 20 to 28 cm. The side height is unchanged - 5.5 cm.
Lids are not included. SKK completes its pans with removable bakelite handles.
A good alternative is Mayer & Boch. But we must understand that this manufacturer is only disguising itself as a European company. All production facilities are located in China. The "German" company specializes in the production of ceramic pans and other kitchen utensils.
Of genuine German products, Baf products are worth mentioning. Its full name is Baf Industrie GmbH. The products of the concern definitely surpass the imaginary Bosch. As for Baf, this brand has been on the market since 1914.
All this time she is trying to realize the development trends of the kitchen industry.
The range includes pans with aluminum and steel substrates.
Steel products combined in the Greenline Induction series. Attention deserves the professional line of Goigant Profi. These pans are equipped with long handles and a particularly thick bottom.
Baf uses its own innovative non-stick MicroCERAMIC coating. It consists of:
- a layer that interferes with burning;
- abrasive blocking coating;
- intermediate layer;
- base (it is made from a mixture of titanium and ceramics).
Baf products can be used on all types of stoves and ovens. They do not emit any toxic substances and comply with the latest standards of European design. German engineers took care of the handles made of steel and plastic, characterized by ergonomics. Cast cases are quite reliable and pass heat very quickly.
Any of the versions is given a three-year corporate warranty.
Among the Baf pans stands out Gigant Newline Induction Wok. It features a reliable ceramic coating. You can safely use steel blades for work. An important positive feature is the presence of a removable handle. On a wok, you can easily cook a dish of any Asian cuisine.
What pans are there?
Finally, it is useful to deal with the names of the types of pans, so as not to make a mistake when choosing:
- universal type (suitable for a variety of tasks);
- roasting pan (optimal for baking in the oven);
- grill pan (its ribbed bottom helps to save oil and achieve an attractive ribbed crust on the surface of the meat);
- wok (great choice for working with vegetables);
- stew-pan (a hybrid of a simple frying pan and an ordinary pan);
- crepe maker (the essence is clear from the name).
But no matter what type of pan the pan is and no matter how perfect it is, proper handling is very important. For the first time, dishes are washed in warm water, adding a small amount of the washing mixture. It is unacceptable to heat dishes to more than 260 degrees. If this rule is violated, the protective layer begins to fade. It will have to be restored after each wash.
In the next video, you will get acquainted with the production of German Baf pans.
