Advantages: Can be used on all Hob Types Disadvantages: A little heavy as their a profesional
I've recently come across a range of pans called 'Commichef' pans. these are suitable for all hob types, including induction. They come attractively gift packed suitable for any present and would make an ideal wedding gift as they will last a life time. They are not non stick as they are suitable for the professional chef / kitchen as well as domestic use. They have a really thick bottom and both look great and cook well! I'll be using these for a while to come!. I've given sets to my parents for Christmas and they were over the moon as they spend a lot of time in the kitchen now they are retired. The pans are made from deluxe 18/8 Stainless steel with an extra heavy guage 1.0mm thickness, cast stainless steel handles, 5mm thick impact bonded encapsulated base, extra-deep form gives up to 40% extra capacity, Second helper handle ...
Advantages: Best pans you will buy. Disadvantages: A bit pricey
I have been in the catering industry now for 9 years and i am yet to find pans better than the Stellar range.
Non stick they are not! but high quality stainless steel - You will have to try hard to stick something to these pans.
All the Pans have a thick base to help evenly spread heat while cooking. Fab.
The lids also cary the high quality finish of the pans. They fit well and are well made with no screws in the inside of the lid.
Handles also well fixed and designed not to get hot while cooking.
If you want pans that can stand the test of time then Stellar is what you want. I have had mine for 4 years and they still look good. Although exspensive it is posible to find Stellar cheeper in sales i got a deep casserole pan a lid and a shallow pan in the sale half price(at a large well known department store) This is how i ...
Advantages: Massive heat transfer and bomb proof construction Disadvantages: Lids get hot after prolonged cook
As I had already setup house,got a decent frying pan but found my pans to be falling apart, I needed a pan set without a frying pan. This was a real struggle but the review by wompie99 of Stellarpans got my interest and honed my search.
I managed to track down a 4 pan set for £67 on a major auction site, the set comprised of
14cm saucepan
16cm saucepan
18cm saucepan
20cm saucepan
This is an excellent range and covers all situations for a large family, with the 20cm pan being massive in comparison to its predecessor.
The other reviews mention the tendency for the handles and lids to get hot, I can verify that the lids do get hot but I have not had a major problem with the handles. However as these pans are heavy to begin with, when the large pan is full of spuds it does present a considerable weight, but then its all ...
