Pasabahce Dishes: description, advantages and disadvantages

Recently, buyers are increasingly paying attention to imported brands of dishes. And if earlier glassware was usually brought from the Czech Republic, now it is a fairly wide geography of supplies. One of the worthy competitors to Czech manufacturers is the glass company Pasabahce (Pasabahce) from Turkey.

In 1935, the country's first glass factory was built in the town of Pashabahche, not far from Istanbul. Machines from Czechoslovakia and Belgium became the basis for the production of steel, and with them the Turks adopted the best traditions of glass production.

The equipment changed over time, new technologies were introduced, and since 1969 the company has been producing crystal glassware. The brand constantly participates in international exhibitions, opens its brand stores in European capitals, exports products to the USA. Since 2000, the Russian representative office of the company has been operating in Moscow, as well as small production in the region. Products sold under the additional brand Borcam.

In 1991, the technology of lengthening the leg of the glass was improved, making it possible to make the dishes stronger and more original.

Quality and design are the main advantages of Pasabahce products. Designers of the brand constantly invent unusual solutions or rethink the classic forms of dishes. The capabilities of the holding, which includes several factories with manual and machine production of glass products, make it possible to achieve the minimum fragility of products.

Plate sets are Pasabahce's most popular homemade products. They are classic white (round and rectangular), which are most often bought from this brand cafes and restaurants. But consumers most liked the wide range of colored plates.

There are large and small monochromatic sets (one of the most popular colors is green), and there are many options with different patterns. For example, with images of plants, wavy and geometric patterns, copies of folk paintings. The technology of photo printing on glass is also used, thanks to which Pasabahce produces plates with landscapes. Separately, you can select children's series with characters from cartoons.

Relief plates made of crystal are also popular. They are made with arbitrary patterned relief or with imitation of the imprint of leaves. Fish dishes can repeat the shape of the fish itself or depict a sea shell.

Baking dishes are a little-known but noteworthy Pasabahce production line. This dish differs from the analogs in the following advantages:

• high-quality heat-resistant glass;
• glass high lid;
• smooth and embossed sides;
• the presence of pens;
• many shapes and sizes;
• low cost.

It should be noted that rectangular shapes are much more convenient to use than oval ones. They allow you to take out individual pieces of casseroles, leaving them beautiful in appearance.

Thanks to the original technology of lengthening the legs, Pasabahce glasses are higher than those of other manufacturers. Such a product can be held with two hands, and a sturdy leg serves as a support for large volume.As a rule, glasses are made of transparent glass and sold, as well as plates, in sets or one by one.

Separately, you can note the glasses, which repeat the size and purpose of the classic, but have clearly defined corners. Such rectangular dishes combine well with the modern style and help create the appropriate atmosphere at the holiday table.

Colored glasses at Pasabahce too. It is worth noting sets for wine, in which the leg of each object is painted in its own color. Such a rainbow looks very original on the table, and the guests don’t exactly mix up their glasses: for everyone it is different from the rest. At the same time, a consistent style remains.

The Imperial Black series includes wine glasses for wineglasses, whose legs are painted in deep black. Wine glasses are well suited for the design in modern style.

Among the products Pasabahce a lot of unusual solutions. For example, 28106N dish is a flat plate with a transparent lid in the form of a cap. On the one hand, a hole is made at the cap so that air can penetrate. Such dishes are not intended for long-term food storage, but for serving hot dishes, and it will undoubtedly become a remarkable object on the festive table.

You can also note the numerous containers for oil, which are made in the form of jugs in the Oriental style. If it were not for the clear glass, one would think that a genie lives inside: so authentic is the design in which the hand of Turkish masters is felt. The minus of products is a narrow neck in some models, which is why it is not very convenient to wash them manually. The company also produces sauceboats, but they are usually lidded and have a wide open neck.

Some models of drinking water bottles, which have no thread, also cause fair complaints, and the rubber base for the lid is very ill-conceived. Such bottles are limited in use and cannot be carried around. At the same time, they are resistant to boiling water, in contrast to glass carafes from many other manufacturers. There are also a number of other dishes with a rubber lid, for example, sugar bowls. And, obviously, this is one of the few weak points of the company's products.

Most often, buyers note the excellent combination of price and quality. Pasabahce is one of the most budget brands, but the quality of products is much higher than those in this price segment.

People like that the brand's cookware can be used not only in the oven, but also in the microwave, and even in the freezer at temperatures as low as -40 °. It is easy to wash it by hand, as there are no unnecessary parts and hard to reach places, or in the dishwasher. Containers and forms for baking are marked as excellent dishes for long-term storage of products. However, consumers indicate that it is inconvenient to use bottles for water and sauceboats.
