How to choose a Rondell frying pan

Plate Type

All pans are suitable for gas stoves, but for electric stoves it’s important to make sure the diameter of the burner matches the diameter of the pan. Induction stoves require special pans with multi-layer bottoms so as not to spoil both the pan and the stove. Rondell usually offers universal models suitable for all stoves, but there are also some ranges with multi-layer bases, like Mocco Latte, Walzer, Infinity, etc.p., Designed especially for induction heat sources.

Material

The efficiency of a wok depends primarily on the material used. Rondell offers cast and pressed aluminium pans. The pans heat up quickly and are great for heating food. They are light, handy and affordable. Cast pans are heavier but more durable. Deep-bottomed pans have excellent heat conductivity, hold their heat for a long time and heat up well.

Thanks to the Triple Stamping & Fused Bottom Technology, the cookware heats evenly and keeps all the nutrients in the food. Thanks to the modern processing of metal – anodizing, Rondell cookware is completely safe for health, because it eliminates contact of food with metal, and resistant to external influences.

Non-stick coating

The Rondell brand mainly uses two coatings in its products

iTitan® and XylanPlus. The non-stick coating Xlan Plus has a double layer of polymer non-stick layer made by Whitford.Rondell’s own iTitan® coating is a three-layer, 43-micron thick coating coated with titanium elements. Thanks to special application technology, this coating prevents aluminum and enamel particles from getting into the food.
