I enjoy
cooking.
I have gone
through a number of frying pans during my life.
I find the quality stainless pans without a nonstick coating a pain in
the ass to clean and foods like eggs more often than not will stick.
The nonstick
pans I have used have performed ok for a while, then the nonstick starts to deteriorate
– and there is the question of what chemicals are infusing into the food I
cook. These pans are usually some minimal
gauge of aluminum and feel cheap.
One year ago
I bought a Ballarini Cortina Granitum skillet at the local kitchen shop. This pan feels substantial. It has a rubber handle, the coating is ceramic
and there is a green heat indicator dot that turns red when the skillet is at cooking
temperature. The skillet holds an even
heat and is truly nonstick. This is
absolutely the best skillet I have ever owned.
They say you
can use metal utensils with the pan, but I don’t. The pan is advertised to be able to cook dry,
without any oils or butter; but I still lightly grease the pan before
using. Clean up is just a matter of
wiping with a paper towel and rinsing with soapy water.
It is a
pleasure to cook with this pan and I find no shortcomings.
I sponsor
no one on this blog; but share my review when I find something I like.
