General information
In Germany, make pans, designed for a variety of consumers. Factories in this country are able to adjust the work of designers and pick up very nice colors. Another attractive side of German products is the use of a variety of materials. Titanium products have the longest life. They allow the use of steel utensils for the kitchen.
German cast iron frying pans are also quite durable. They are not damaged even with severe mechanical stress. Cooking in cast iron is quick and easy. Even with a complete lack of experience, you can cook amazing dishes with crispy crusts.
In Germany, they also make excellent ceramic pans suitable for a variety of plates (except induction type foci).
Main brands
Among the German companies stands concern Woll. His specialty is cast aluminum dishes with a coating of titanium and ceramics. The material is not simply applied over the main structural layer - it is fused into it. This solution allows avoid burning in almost any case.
Woll technologies, as the manufacturer claims, allow cooking without the use of oils.

The inside of the pan is equipped with a marking that allows you to determine the level of the liquid.

Among the leading brands deservedly entered and Kaiser Hoff. It produces cast iron and aluminum pans. Characteristic features are a gray coating with non-stick properties inside and a colored heat-resistant layer outside. Each pan is high quality and durable.
On this review, however, should not end.
Other manufacturers
For premium class pans, SKK products should also be included. This manufacturer has existed since 1985. The production base is located near Cologne. The main construction material is cast aluminum. Any SKK model uses a non-stick coating.
Important: all copies are cast manually, and only then put a non-stick layer with a thickness of 60 microns.
Such an approach allows to achieve quite exceptional characteristics. Ecological pan, with a thickened bottom (about 1 cm). Thickening of the bottom increases the thermal conductivity of dishes and at the same time eliminates thermal deformation. Thanks to professional technology, the product will last as long as possible.
SKK Company tested its products in a leading German certification center. He issued certificates confirming premium quality and absolute safety of manufactured products. Series Diamant 3000 designed for gas, electric and glass ceramic foci.
Important: the dishes of this series can not be washed in dishwashers.
The manufacturer uses a perfect five-layer coating to improve non-stick properties.
Titan inductionas it is not difficult to understand from the name, it is intended first for induction plates. In the construction of titanium is not used.Like other SKK pans, these products are not washable in dishwashers. The diameters of the products of the Cologne concern range from 20 to 28 cm. The side height is unchanged at the same time - 5.5 cm.
Covers are not included. SKK completes its pans with removable bakelite handles.
A good alternative can be considered Mayer & Boch. But we must understand that this manufacturer only disguises as a European company. All production facilities are located in China. "German" company specializes in the production of ceramic pans and other kitchen utensils.
Of the genuinely Germanic products, Baf products are worth mentioning. Its full name is Baf Industrie GmbH. The products of the group are exactly superior to the imaginary Bosch. As for Baf, this brand has been present on the market since 1914.
All this time she is trying to implement the trends in the development of the kitchen industry.
The range includes frying pans with aluminum and steel bases.
Steel products combined in the Greenline Induction series. Attention and deserves the professional line Goigant Profi. These pans are equipped with long handles and a very thick bottom.
Concern Baf uses its own innovative non-stick coating MicroCERAMIC. It includes:
- a layer that interferes with burning;
- coating that blocks the abrasive effect;
- intermediate layer;
- base (it is made from a mixture of titanium and ceramics).
Baf products can be applied on any stoves and in stoves. They do not emit any toxic substances and comply with the latest standards of European design. German engineers took care of the presence of handles made of steel and plastic, differing in ergonomics. Molded cases are quite reliable and allow heat to pass very quickly.
On any of the versions given a three-year branded warranty.
Among the pans baf stands out wok gigant newline induction. It has a reliable ceramic coating. It is safe to use steel blades for operation. An important positive feature is the presence of a removable handle. On the wok, you can easily cook any dish of Asian cuisine.
What frying pans are there?
Finally, it is useful to deal with the names of the types of pans, so as not to be mistaken when choosing:
- universal type (suitable for a variety of tasks);
- roaster (optimal for roasting in the oven);
- grill pan (its ribbed bottom helps to save oil and to achieve an attractive ribbed crust on the surface of the meat);
- wok (a great choice for working with vegetables);
- a stewpan (a hybrid of a simple frying pan and an ordinary pan);
- pancake maker (the essence is clear from the name).
But whatever type of frying pan and whatever perfect it is, proper treatment is very important. The first time the dishes are washed in warm water, adding a small amount of detergent mixture. It is unacceptable to heat the dishes to more than 260 degrees. If you violate this rule, the protective layer begins to burn out. He will have to recover after each wash.
In the next video you will be introduced to the production of German Baf frying pans.
