“The best fry pan ever, I will now throw away all my other frypans.
It is as good as the advertising suggests and I would recommend it to anyone.
Well done on a superb product!”
“Everything sticks to this frypan.
This is a high quality well made pan but in my house it's relegated to steaks only and then outside.
I tried using it for pilaf and paella, risotto , polenta and schnitzel - everything stuck.
I actually bought this frypan for my morning eggs but unless I want them crunchy scrambled this is not the pan for the job.
I use a $15 no name non-stick pan from Woolworths for my eggs now and keep the Solidteknics for steaks on the side burner of the barbecue - less clean up than using the main plate (just put the hose on it).
It's solid enough to leave outside and I suspect it will outlast me but unless you are camping, hanging it for kitchen wall art or subduing burglars it may be too much pan for the part time home chef.”
Hi Dave,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and for recognising the quality and build of your pan. We completely understand there’s often an adjustment period when moving from a plastic-coated “non-stick” pan to natural seasoned iron.
Achieving non-stick with seasoned iron is all about the right balance of heat and fats/oils. Our pans are highly conductive, so they need less heat than most are used to: medium is the new high! Too much heat too soon can cause food to stick. Some tips are:
• Warm your pan slowly on low–medium heat.
• Add your oil or fat once hot, then your ingredients.
• Let the pan release your food naturally before turning it.
Unlike synthetic non-stick pans, our AUS-ION™ cookware doesn’t have a plastic coating: it builds its own natural non-stick surface (called seasoning) over time as you cook. The more you use it, the easier it becomes.
Those $15 supermarket pans achieve instant “non-stick” through synthetic coatings (often PTFE or other plastics). While convenient at first, they eventually degrade and flake. AUS-ION™ pans are built for the long game: once you adjust to the right cooking method, you’ll enjoy effortless release and a pan that lasts for generations.
Warm regards,
The Solidteknics Team
“This pan has been a game changer for me so far. It's handled everything with a breeze ! Being a lover of omelettes inparticular, this was the BIG test. Absoluetly nailed it !! Superb. No sticking just a pleasure to cook with.”
“Love our frypan! Cooks quickly and perfectly! Easy to clean! Light to lift and handle. Love the feeling we are cooking healthier! Need to look after it properly and I know it will be passed down in the family!! Highly recommend!!”
“I like cooking with the pan and the fabulously easy clean up. The heat distributes beautifully across the base, lovely for even browning. I have only had the pan for a week but I am not sure I like the 'sharp' edge grip and length of the handle. I understand that there is reason for the length but I find the balance of the pan just a bit heavy in my hands with what I perceive to be a long handle with sharp edges. I have been using cast iron pans to cook with for all of my adult life, so I am thinking at this stage that perhaps it just just different and I will get used to the shape fo the handle.”
“I recieved my second pan and it has made my life sooo much easier. The 26cm is perfect for my cook top and with a family of 4 being able to cook for us all at the same time is great. Easy clean up perfect even heat all over the pan.”
