These characteristics are influenced by the tradition of the quality of knightly weapons, which have been produced since the 14th century in the same city where the legendary company was founded in 1988.

Increasingly, consumers are paying attention to the products of the German brand due to the fact that The Rondell frying pan has several advantages.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

Another advantage of German monolithic kitchen products is the Tri-Ply technology, which ensures uniform and fast heating. Its essence lies in the introduction of a special layer of processed aluminum, which additionally protects the dishes from mechanical damage. 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.

Along with all the advantages, the cons of German pans seem to be minor. Most often, consumers complain about:

• the need to buy a cover;
• quick darkening of the ceramic coating during intensive use;
• risk of scalding due to high sides if safety measures are not followed during cooking;
• inflated price tags in online stores.

When choosing German cookware, pay attention to products with titanium coating. Whereas in cheap models the non-stick coating can only heat up to 200 ° C, the Rondell series can withstand high temperatures without burning out the bottom and the formation of toxic compounds. An interesting feature of the branded products was the rejection of the use of perfluorooctanoic acid - PFOA in coatings.

The brand has patented two types of coatings, unique and absolutely safe for human health and the environment.

• Xylan plus - high-quality two-layer coating, characterized by durability. It is based on a polymer non-stick layer that preserves all the useful properties of the prepared dishes. It is found in the collections of Marengo, Infinity, Arabesco, Escurion, Mustang, Drive and many others.
• TriTitan - a three-layer coating (thickness - 43 microns), made on the basis of PTFE with the addition of titanium. The key features of cookware with this technology are durability, environmental friendliness. The coating can be found in the collections of Mocco & Latte, Walzer, Balance, as well as pancake pans.

In the collections of the German brand, you can also find other coating options. For example, the famous Delice line is equipped with a three-layer non-stick Daikin, has bakelite, non-heating accessories with metal inserts. And the Evolution-R series has an ultra-strong base layer with diamond chips.

Whether cast iron or ceramic, stamped, anodized or cast aluminum, in silver, matt black or bronze colors, any Rondell set of pans will be a work of art, an excellent culinary assistant.

When choosing pans, pay attention not only to the technical characteristics (material, type of coating), but also to the presence of a lid, a removable handle. All this greatly simplifies and speeds up cooking.

Material will be an important factor in choosing high-quality cookware. The Rondell range includes the following options.

• Aluminum. It is the ideal solution for an induction hob. Among the advantages are the convenience of cooking, a high service life.
• Titanium alloy. Very durable, the taste of food cooked in such a pan is very rich.
• Made of stainless steel. Such models will be an ideal option with a service life of more than 5 years, demonstrate functionality, practicality and an affordable price.

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.

In order not to get confused in a wide variety of models of Rondell pans, be sure to consult with the managers of the store where you purchase the goods. Also, you will be helped by the reviews of users who managed to evaluate all the advantages and note the disadvantages of a particular frying pan. Whatever material it is made of, the cookware must have a thick bottom (at least 3 mm). Only in a high-quality model the handle does not heat up, and all fasteners do not fail for a long time.

Many people point to a disadvantage no cover in most kits. You have to buy it separately. However, in contrast to this disadvantage, there is a high-quality coating, the strength of the assembly material and the possibility of using the frying pan in the oven.

Some consider the Rondell trademark the best German tableware, while others complain about the inflated prices. Those who are in a hurry to buy a two-tone model, for example, as in the Mocco & Latte collection, often complain about the difficulty of removing dirt from a light surface. And those who managed to stock up on a high-quality dishwasher do not experience any difficulties with caring for such dishes.

The most positive feedback from users is dedicated to a durable and reliable coating. Both technologies are accepted "with a bang" even the most capricious customers. Everyone, without exception, notes the convenience of using the dishes and the exquisite taste of dishes that do not lose their taste or nutritional properties during the cooking process.
