The company's products have a large number of advantages that increase the functionality of the cookware and increase the service life. It is mainly necessary to say that utensils are made of food grade aluminum of the AK7P type, using the method of chill casting. Cast devices are much stronger than forged and stamped ones. The high quality alloy used meets international safety standards. The company also offers models made of extruded aluminum, using ready-made discs with an Italian coating for their production.

The fittings for the brand's pans are also Italian, made by the manufacturers Costa and F. B. M. The handles look stylish and give the cookware an aesthetically pleasing look. The outer surface of the bottom is covered with special heat-resistant raw materials, thanks to which the cookware is suitable for glass-ceramic hobs. Vari uses high-quality material from German manufacturers Whitford and Weilburger for the production of the interior lining.

The pans have three types of non-stick coating. High quality material ensures healthier meals, and also prevents the possibility of interaction of the coating with food acids and dishwashing detergents.

• The first type of coating is non-stick material with PTFE, most common for making kitchen utensils.

• The second type is ceramic using the sol-gel technology. Ceramics contain natural mineral nanoparticles.

• Third & Most Innovative Coating - Xylan XLR photopolymer, it has enhanced non-stick properties.

When choosing a frying pan, it is recommended to pay attention to several points.

• The main thing to decide is what exactly you will cook. For example, for frying potatoes, cutlets or making an omelet, pancakes, the classic version is suitable. For pancakes, the brand's assortment includes special pancake pans that will make cooking easier. For stews, roasts, stews or fried fish, we recommend using deep models with a glass lid. The grill pan is the best option for grilling steaks, hamburger patties and other products.

• Look at the compatibility of the cookware with your type of hob, especially if you have a glass-ceramic or induction cooker. Owners of gas and electrical units should not worry, as any dish is suitable for them.

• One of the main criteria when choosing metal utensils is the material of manufacture, since its price and service life depend on this. Cast-iron pans will last for more than a dozen years, they are easy to wash, and potatoes fried in such a pan turn out to be incredibly tasty. Pans with a diamond or titanium surface are very expensive, have a long life and are easy to use. Ceramic models have many advantages, first of all, the ability to cook without oil.

These pans are affordable and last for several years, but they are prone to chipping. The most optimal option in terms of price-quality ratio are devices made of cast aluminum with a Teflon surface on the inside. They are easy to use, but they last no more than five years. Be sure to look at the thickness of the bottom and walls. With proper care, you can extend the service life of any cookware.
