• endurance of increasing temperature conditions.

Quarzotek coating is renowned for its durability... During production, mineral particles are added to the main substance polytetrafluoroethylene.

The Titan Resistance layer has small inclusions of titanium in its structure. This type of non-stick material is resistant to damage. This coating has a powerful non-stick effect. The main difference between TVS products is that they do not deteriorate from contact with metal objects (spatula, knife, slotted spoon).

Vegetek is a coating containing inclusions that increase wear resistance. In addition, the material is made on the basis of glycerin.

Special material 4ever was designed to increase the service life of products... This coating is layered on the non-stick, acting as a protection, makes it possible to increase the non-stick properties, resistance to rust and degradation.

Resistek is the latest material developed by TVS to give strength and reliability to the product. The resulting rough surface not broken by contact with metal objects. The manufacturer gives a permanent guarantee for products of this type.

EXP represents the coating material developed by this brand. It is a smooth and hard material that gives pans extra strength. Cookware with such a coating can withstand any elevated temperature and not lose its positive qualities.

ECO-OK - ceramic coatingwhich is a guarantee uniform heat distribution and natural purity of the material... Non-stick properties are low, like other brands of ceramic coatings.

In order for Italian dishes to serve for a long time, the necessary rules must be observed.

• After washing the dishes, it is recommended to grease the inside with a soft cloth with a little vegetable oil.
• Do not expose the dishes to sudden temperature changes, that is, you do not need to place a hot pan in cold water.
• Prepare food over medium heat. Do not put an empty pan or saucepan on fire.
• Do not use metal objects unnecessarily for mixing food. Better to use wood or plastic products.
• In a dishwasher, wash at a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. It is not recommended to use abrasive products and coarse sponges for manual cleaning. Use the dishes only for their intended purpose. You do not need to throw away the dishes when stains appear on the surface. This does not affect its performance. It's just that in some cases, such phenomena happen with a non-stick surface.

Consumers who use Italian cookware leave positive reviews for the most part. They note a number of nuances.

• Cookware with a darker coating has a longer service life.
• Frying pans with a thin bottom. Especially aluminum from the TVS brand requires attention, because it quickly heats up and overheats here.
