One of the latest developments in the field of non-stick coatings can be considered marble chips. A marble-coated frying pan looks practically no different from Teflon, cast iron or ceramic frying pans. However, there are still several nuances regarding both the specifics of use and quality characteristics.
What does marble look like?
This type of frying pan has a smooth, carefully polished surface of compressed granite chips, similar in pattern to marble. Therefore, such a coating in stores can also be called granite or stone.
Most often, a non-stick marble pan has a natural black, grey, brown or sandy bottom color with numerous light blotches. Outside, the dishes are exactly the same or lined with a different refractory material.
Pros and cons of marble flooring
As you know, the more high-tech product, the more likely that the process of itsoperation will have some nuances. In this regard, like any other non-stick cookware, such a pan has its positive and negative sides.
Pros of marble flooring
- Sustainability. The use of only natural and safe raw materials for the manufacture of dishes is the main condition that characterizes a good frying pan with a marble coating. Expert reviews confirm this fact, referring to numerous studies and testing of products from well-known manufacturers of kitchen utensils.
- Even distribution and heat dissipation. Regardless of its depth, wall thickness and diameter, such dishes are heated equally over the entire area. Even the specific "grill-gas" pan, whose marble coating does not imply food contact with the bottom, cooks dishes better than its counterparts from other materials.
- Easy to wash. To remove grease from a marble floor, a regular detergent and a soft sponge will suffice.
- Light weight is another positive quality that a marble-coated pan has. Reviews of housewives testify in favor of this statement in full. The base of the products is made of aluminum, known for its light weight.
- The ability to cook with little or no oil. Food in such a pan does not burn, and dishes prepared without fat will significantly diversify the menu of those who prefer to eat tasty and he althy food.
Cons of marble coating
- Susceptibility to damage. It is not recommended to scrape the marble surface with hard washcloths, steel spatulas and cutlery. However, compared, for example, with Teflon, a marble-coated pan deserves much more favorable reviews in this regard. To break the integrity of the bottom, you need to make quite a lot of effort.
- Risk of acquiring a fake. Like most goods of famous brands that come to Russia from abroad, there are often fakes among dishes with a non-stick coating made of marble. Their quality cannot be compared with real ones, so it is best to purchase such pans in specialized stores that are ready to provide all the necessary certificates at the first request of the buyer.
Marble-coated tableware of famous brands
Of the most established brands of kitchen utensils, granite pans from the following manufacturers can be found in our stores:
- Gipfel;
- Wellberg (Bergner);
- Kaiserhoff.
Each of these brands has existed on our market for several years, and during this period, manufacturers' dishes have earned numerous positive reviews from customers.
Gipfel pans
European quality and durability - these are the main qualities for which the brand is so fond of Russian housewivesGipfel. The marble-coated frying pan, which can be found in various models in the Zenit, Explosion and Maira series, is no exception. Customers note the pleasant and solid appearance of the dishes, the high quality and reliability of the surface. Gipfel pan with marble coating has a long rubberized and absolutely non-slip handle. The only drawbacks are the rather high price and the lack of a lid, which has to be selected separately for each copy.
Wellberg and Bergner pans
Wellberg and Bergner are, in fact, the same Austrian company, whose products are produced under different brands. The wellberg marbled frying pan is available in two shapes: classic and square. Granite frying pan Bergner exists only in a standard round form. However, both brands have earned equally high marks among women. Durability, the ability to use on all types of stoves and washing in the dishwasher, the average cost, good quality of the coating - that's what customers first of all named.
Kaiserhoff pans
Kaiserhoff is another European brand for serving and cooking utensils. It differs from previous brands by a rather low cost of production. However, this is not the only plus that a marble-coated pan has. Customer reviews also testify to high quality workmanship, long service life and optimal depth, which is suitable for both frying andfor stewing.
