Scanpan is one of the best known providers of quality cookware. The Scanpan Classic 11 Piece Nonstick Deluxe Chefs Cookware Set comes with all essential kitchen equipment and all have tough non-stick surfaces.
The patented non-stick surface area of Scanpan cookware is constructed from a mix of ceramic and titanium. The blending is much more non-stick when compared to stainless steel, plus the hardness score is 9.5 which, in comparison with the diamond rating of 10 is an indication of just how resilient and hard the surface is. This hardness has been independently investigated in Germany where the evaluators took a metallic spatula, loaded it down with a 2 pound (1 kg) weight and ran it over the surface 300,000 times. 33 % of the spatula was ground away and there was no wear and tear on the pan. Consequently it's safe to use with metal and all alternative utensils although nylon, silicon or wooden utensils are advisable in order to maintain the cooking surface for as long as possible.
The body of the kitchenware is made from pressure cast aluminium which keeps the weight of the pots and pans low making movement within the cooking area easy in addition to supplying efficient even heating.
There are some recommendations that come with Scanpan cooking equipment. Warming of the pots and pans for one to two minutes before cooking on a low to medium heat is recommended for optimum cooking performance. Permitting the cooking equipment to cool down prior to washing is also preferred to avoid warping that could occur with the immediate temperature changes of rinse or washing water.
Cooking performance is also affected or impacted by the use of aerosol sprays in the pot. They may leave a chemical residue and so if oil is essential for light frying it is better to try a little oil included as the pan is heating.
Should there be any kind of obstinate staining or perhaps food deposits on the pans the makers recommend removal with a nylon scrubbing pad, again to best safeguard the non-stick cooking surface.
Each of the lids is constructed of shatter resistant glass with a metal edge. Glass lids mean easy tracking of the cooking process without the release of heat from within the pan. Handles are securely mounted on all items with no rivets for a sleek easy clean surface and are manufactured from high density, long lasting phenolic resin.
The Scanpan Classic 11 Piece Nonstick Deluxe Chefs Cookware Set comes with a 10 inch frypan and a 10 inch (2.75 quart) saut pan with an compatible lid. The 3 saucepans possess a 1 quart, 2 quart and 3 quart capacity and all come with lids. The set is completed with a 6.5 quart Dutch oven with lid.
This Scanpan non-stick cookware set includes a lifetime guarantee with normal use and proper care.
