Scanpan Pots & Pans



All SCANPAN Cookware imports from Denmark are FDA certified and safe to use for food preparation. (from their website http://www.scanpan.com/)

Why this remark at the very top, for all those who are health conscious, my choice in pans are to be non-stick, safe, and reliable! I mean who doesn't really want that.
Anyways, with the non-stick materials coming into media scrutiny, mainly Teflon, I think it should be noted the public awareness becomes heightened, but shouldn't just read things on face value but research and understand what they report in the media.

Okay, now onto the product.

What makes these Scanpan products stand out?
Firstly SCANPAN Classic and SCANPAN PROFESSIONAL are made of pressure cast aluminum and feature our patented ceramic titanium nonstick surface. SCANPAN Fusion 5 is made of 18/10 stainless steel. SCANPAN Fusion CS5 is a copper clad assortment with an 18/10 interior. ( from their website)

So what does this mean?

Their non-stick surface treatment is unique to them and is of very high quality techniques used. Especially good for making cooking pans, no?

Background:

I have used All-Clad (all metal), Analon, Circulon as my main pots and pans. Of all of these the All-Clad have been most reliable, but Analon are the ones I am currently using. Most non-stick do eventually suffer from peeling and surface imperfections occurring even during proper care and normal use but my least favorite I have to say were the Circulons.

What do I expect:
If say this is a fine cooking product, but say over everyday cooking, after a year or so scuffs do develop, it isn't unheard of Scanpan will make a full replacement of your item with their lifetime warranty. Okay don't quote me on this, but lets see in the future what happens. So far I have ordered a Wok and a Saute Pan with lids from their Pro series, these are with metal handles and lids as opposed to Plastic handles and glass lids (I actually prefer to nose in at what I am cooking). So overall, I hope to report the success of this non-stick technology fused with their titanium-ceramic technology, so keep watching this space. Okay you can go already...
