Advantages and disadvantages
Increasingly, consumers are paying attention to the products of the German brand due to the fact that The Rondell frying pan has several advantages.
- Has a durable non-stick titanium-based coating. This feature is marked as TriTitan on the product packaging. Its essence is to increase the strength of the bottom of the pans. The coating excludes flaking and destruction during long-term operation.
- Keeps warm for a long time. In many models, there is a "Russian oven" effect, which preserves more nutrients and taste of the product during the process of frying, boiling, stewing. The company's ingenious marketers like to give “mouth-watering” names to individual dish series, highlighting their main characteristics. For example, the famous Jersey pans collection has been compared to a gentle breath of warmth.
- Allows the use of metal paddles... This feature is to the liking of fussy housewives who have ruined more than one cast-iron, aluminum or steel bottom of a frying pan without a protective coating.
- Can be used on any kind of cooker, including induction. By purchasing such an accessory as a gift, you will definitely not go wrong with the choice.
- Saves time... Pieces of burnt meat, frozen fat, soot - all this used to be a nightmare of the hostess. With Rondell pans, it became possible to wash accessories even in the dishwasher.
- Possesses aesthetic beauty. The trendy design of such tableware attracts attention. One frying pan has a copper shade with an embossed effect, the other has a strict metallic sheen, a delicate shimmer of the inner non-stick coating. The ergonomics deserve the highest praise, from the design of Bakelite handles with SoftTouch technology to heat-resistant glass lids with a steam outlet, as well as neat screw-fastening of accessories.

In the design of such pans, a solid bottom plays a huge role, usually made of anodized aluminum with a thickness of 3.5 mm. This metal prevents oxidation, therefore it is absolutely safe for human health. The Rondell frying pan allows you to cook food in any form: fry until crispy, simmer in your own juice or sauce, reheat and more.

The material undergoes a thorough control, it is certified. Original Rondell products (universal models, crepe makers, woks, grill pans and others) carry a warranty for cookware up to 25 years.

Almost all lines come with a non-stick coating, and only a few have a ceramic layer.
When choosing, you should also take into account the dimensions of the product. Decide in advance what diameter of the pan will be suitable. It depends on what you are more likely to cook: pancakes, French toast, poultry, brizol in pita bread, vegetable stew or rolls. In the Rondell catalog, you can find various options - from 20 to 28 cm. Experts recommend "arm" pans of various sizes to expand the boundaries of their culinary skills.
The main criterion when choosing a suitable model will be the type of plate. There will not be much difference which frying pan to buy if you use gas model. For this type, absolutely any type of tableware is suitable.

An electric stove requires the use of a pan that is suitable for the diameter of the hotplate. This is necessary to evenly distribute heat and extend the life of the product. But for induction cookers, the Rondell brand has prepared several lines of pans - Walzer, Mocco & Latte, Infinity and others.
Remember that there is no need to use large models for frying eggs, but a miniature pancake maker is a bad option for stewing meat. Fans of steaks, chops, chicken breasts, fish fillets and fried vegetables will pay attention to the Grill series, order rectangular models with a ribbed inner surface.
