Hi everyone!
I’m looking for some new pans (maybe also have some pots from the same brand?) and wanted to get something from a european brand - and ask for recommendations here.
What they must have:
- Induction compatible
- Made in EU
- Non-Stick Coating without PFAS (for the pans) (yes, I know but I very much enjoy cooking with them and am using wooden/plastic utensils)
What would be nice to have:
- Removeable handle
- Ceramic Non-Stick Coating (as it should last longer)
What I’ve found currently that mostly fits my needs are the Tefal Ingenio Black Stone ( https://www.tefal.de/p/ingenio-black-stone-3-teiliges-pfannen-set-l39990/2100126098 ) but I’ve not got any experience with Tefal at all, so I’m open to experiences + other recommendations.
Thank you all for your time, I hope you have a lovely day <3
Lagostina Ingenio series are good pans, from an Italian company (owned by a french one).
Lagostina Ingenio
That seems to be made by Tefal - as they also have their Ingenio Set :D
Sorry, not replying to everyone individually, because I did not at all expect so many replies.
Thank you all for your recommendations, for now I did go with a Tefal set with ceramic coating.
I’ll however keep all the amazing recommendations in mind for the future or when family & friends are asking for my input.
And to the stainless/cast iron crowd - I hear you and maybe in the future I’ll go for a stainless pan - for now I’ll non-stick with the ceramic ones. I’m already convinced with pots, but never got to try it for pans and am not in a point in my life to throw a good bit of money at a pan that I maybe never use because I don’t like it.
I bought one from this website and am very happy.
I wanted to be able to send it back and let them recoat the pan. It would cost 15 Euros plus delivery for their own pans I think.
The anti stick is very good and harder because of ceramic ingredients.
They say you’re able to heat it to 220C and since you can remove the handle, put it in the oven.
It’s 100%made in Germany.
Edit: they say no pfas and usable on induction. Temperature allowed is even 260C
Whatever you do, just avoid any coatings, they say its non toxic only to find out years later they were wrong (sometimes intentionally), what you want to use is high grade stainless steel or cast iron. Only “coating” that is okay is enamel (like Le Creuset pots have), you have that on your teeth as well. Disadvantage of these above is you have to learn to use it. They need to be warmed up slowly which can be annoying sometimes, but on the other hand you have non-toxic pots that lasts for life.
Le Creuset pans do all of that. You can get ceramic coated and cast iron.
Harecker are German made (not just a European brand that in reality produces everything in Asia). Really well made.Their coating is a semi-ceramic non stick coating that works quite well and is PFAS free. Sadly no removable handle,though.
Debuyer are fantastic. https://www.debuyer.com/
Highly recommend Fissler https://fissler.com/ for european made kitchenware. Sure, they are a bit pricey, but you can be sure, they can be used in longevity. Also they come with a long warranty (up to 25years in some cases) depending on the product.
In my experience Tefal is a good choice. Last long (my pan is at least 6 years old now and working perfectly), stays stable (handle didn’t get wobbly much, just had to tighten a screw once), good quality and weight to it.
I’m happy enough to recommend those along!
I have a RÖSLE pan and it’s the one that last the longest. Double to three times longer than TEFAL and all other pans I had in the past.
I have this from Monix an works pretty well and are durable: https://monix.es/en/products/mineral-frying-pan
Also, if you want and affordable inox pan, I just bought this one from Arcos and is awesome: https://www.arcos.com/products/sarten-acero-inoxidable-serie-samoa-inox-24-cm-726300Highly recommend Staub the french company if you’re looking for something that doesn’t have a plastic non stick coating
Demeyere ? https://demeyereco.com/demeyere-pans/
Maybe RIESS Austria. Expensive but good quality. https://www.riess.at/en-GB
