All about Metrot Pans

Few people can do without pans in the household. Perhaps only strict adherents of restaurant food, unwilling to cook at home for various reasons, do not have this item utensils. But modern popular culture has made chefs the stars of numerous television shows: to be able to “conjure” in the kitchen is now even fashionable and prestigious, and for this you need a whole arsenal of dishes.

Passionate culinary professionals and those who stand at the stove quite rarely should pay attention to the products of the brand Metrot from Serbia.

Metrot is the exclusive supplier to the territory of Russia and the CIS countries of the products of the large holding Metalac. Its head office and 12 modern enterprises are located in the small Serbian town of Gornji Milanovac, 110 km from Belgrade. The factory has its history since the distant 1959. It has been known to our consumers since Soviet times: dishes from Yugoslavia were a coveted purchase. The main activities of the holding today are as follows:

• enamelware;
• stainless steel dishes;
• aluminum cookware with non-stick coating;
• kitchen sinks of steel and composite materials;
• production of storage water heaters.

In Russia, enameled pans and Metrot sets are the most well-known and widespread. On the premises of the enterprise, the full cycle of production of such dishes is carried out: the creation of design, preparation and molding of the base, enameling, production of accessories, painting and drawing drawing, packaging.

The system of strict quality control and the availability of European certificates of environmental safety, highly professional team, a vast experience gained over the years - all these factors make the products of the Serbian brand one of the market leaders.

Russian housewives managed to fall in love with the bright, varied in design Metrot pans. If we talk about enameled products of this company, their differences from competitors are as follows:

• the use of high-quality, innovative in the characteristics of glass enamel (Ferro three-layer coating, developed in Holland); each layer of enamel burns at extreme temperatures, ensuring the heat resistance of the finished product, such a material makes the dishes durable, it does not change the taste of products, is resistant to food acids, does not cause allergies, is easy to clean;
• Carbon steel applied to the base of the saucepans warms up quickly and evenly, creating ideal conditions for cooking and long quenching of products;
• all components are manufactured in Europe according to strict environmental and hygienic standards, there are no harmful chemicals, for sale on the Russian market, products have a document on compliance with the requirements of GOST;
• The bottom of the Metrot pans is perfectly even, thick (from 3 mm and more), specially blackened, which increases the heating rate, and its composition allows the use of pans even on a finicky induction stove and in general on all types of plates; on the bottom there is a marking with a company logo;
• Metrot pans can be washed in the dishwasher;
• the company produces a lot of bright designs and prints for every taste: laconic monophonic models, with flower and fruit motifs, traditional polka dots, with Provence style decor and many others; about 10 new decals are replenished annually (the so-called enamel drawing technology is called);

Choosing a household item that is so familiar to everyone as a saucepan can be a daunting task. To cookware became the decoration of the kitchen, the cooking process was comfortable, and the received dishes were safe, it is necessary to take into account such factors as:

• all elements should be without chips (if it is enamel), without scratches and scuffs;
• Pay attention to the tight fit of the lid of the pan: it should be quite heavy and lie without gaps or curvature; the pan itself should also be ideally even, without dents;
• there are pans with welded handles and fastening handles on rivets; metal handles are durable and reliable, but will require the use of tacks, plus the fact that the pot with metal handles can be used in the oven; heat resistant plastic (bakelite) handles are very convenient, do not heat up, do not slip, but there are restrictions for using dishes with bakelite elements in the oven, and on the stove you must make sure that they do not fall into the open fire zone;
• the lid can also be both metal and glass with a bakelite handle - the glass is a little more difficult to clean, since dirt can accumulate along the stainless steel rim; the glass lid is heavier, and thanks to the transparency of the glass, you can visually track the process of boiling and cooking, although the glass may sweat; On the glass lid they often place a hole for bleeding off steam, though, sometimes this design does not justify itself: the lid still has to be opened a little;
• Pay attention to the labeling: badges must be affixed on the package or on the container itself - for which plates the product is suitable, is it permissible to wash it in the dishwasher and by what means, what maximum temperature loads it can withstand; Certified products of well-known manufacturers are safe, so give preference to pans with the emblem of the International Quality System and the Gosstandart of Russia.

So that the enamel coating does not suffer, and the pan has not lost its attractive appearance, It is necessary to follow such simple rules of operation as:

• wash without the use of a metal abrasive brush and aggressive agents with acids;
• do not put a hot pan from the stove under cold water;
• if the food is burnt, fill the cooled pan with cool water with salt or soda (one tablespoon per liter) and let it stand for about 2 hours;
• do not heat empty dishes;
• burner diameter should not exceed the diameter of the pan.

You will not want to hide a beautiful saucepan in kitchen cabinets; it can become a decoration and addition to the interior. Very popular series: "Olive", "Glade", "Bouquet", "Eden", "Sakura", "Lavender" - a white or bright base and interesting compositions of flowers, fruits, birds are drawn very high quality and delight the eye.

The usual prints with bright lush roses enjoy constant success in Russia, but the Metrot brand seeks to conquer the young consumer, as well as lovers of minimalist design, so the Blesk series, presented in two shades: powder and purple, appeared in the collection. The main color is complemented by a delicate shimmer.

Reviews about the quality are contradictory: the majority of buyers are quite durable and wear-resistant coating, dishes please them for many years, but there are also negative evaluations. Sometimes consumers who have inattentively examined the dishes when buying, leave behind a saucepan with a small, unnoticed cleave, dent, scratch.

All of these subtle defects may increase during operation and cause the product to become unusable. Most often, such troubles occur in online orders: the packers are to blame and the negligence of delivery services.
