Bialetti Impact Textured Nonstick 2-Piece Fry Pan Set

Design:

Bialetti 2-piece set has two non-stick frying pans that are eight inches and ten inches wide. The pans come in a dark grey color and a textured metal pellet top surface.

The pieces are lightweight with a long firm handle that has a shiny and stylish finish that gives it a modern outstanding look.

Materials:

The cooking surface is made of micro divot textured surface that offers great release when cooking. The exterior is made of a thick aluminum metal surface that enables the pan to withstand temperatures of up to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

Moreover, it distributes heat evenly, thereby eliminating hotspots. The handle is covered with thick tough silicone that offers a firm grip and is safe for use with ovens.

Usability:

The cooking surface on the Bialetti pan is textured to give the user a perfect sear and even oil distribution to prevent pooling. We particularly were amazed with the cooking surface that is made of alloy and does not shed toxins in form of non-stick polish.

The pan's flat surface on the bottom allows use on both ceramic stoves and gas stoves. The heavy-duty aluminum exterior surface distributes heat evenly, thus giving users a remarkable cooking experience. 

We, however, don't recommend its use over induction cooktops because the bottom aluminum surface is not made for induction heating.

Users advise against scratching the surface with metal utensils; instead, use wooden utensils when stirring. This will preserve the non-stick surface and ensure your pan lasts for a long time.

We also received feedback from some users about the handle becoming too hot after using it for a long time. This is to be expected because the pan is designed for frying light meals, which means that prolonged use might lead to an overheated handle.

Cleaning:

The Bialetti 2 piece has an easy to clean exterior surface that you can clean in a quick wipe. We, however, recommend hand washing it to keep it clean.

Although the pan supports metal utensil usage, we recommend that you use wooden utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface. For usage in ovens, do not exceed four hundred degrees Fahrenheit to avoid damaging the cooking surface.

The set contains:

  • A 10-inch non-stick frying pan
  • An 8-inch non-stick frying pan

Pros

  • Even heat distribution
  • Supports gas and ceramic stoves
  • Easy to clean
  • Lightweight
  • Has a firm and easy grip handle

Cons

  • The pan is not sold with covering lids
  • Does not support induction heating

Materials:

The pan is made of a heavy gauge aluminum metal and a silicone exterior that guarantees its durability. The cooking surface has a white Nano-ceramic non-stick cooking surface that gives its user an excellent monitoring surface when in use.

It can be used on regular gas stoves as well as on ceramic gas stoves without damaging the pan or the stovetop.

Usability:

It has received great reviews from users. To begin with, the flat surface ensures that oil on the pan spreads evenly to the whole surface while the non-stick ceramic cooking surface ensures that you use less oil. 

It is easy to clean with the recommended method being simple hand washing with dish soap. We also received feedback from users saying it supports induction tops without causing damage.

The pan, however, does not support use in the oven, and the non-stick surface scratches easily when metallic utensils are used on it. Moreover, take care when using it and do not overheat the food you are cooking. Overheating will make the food to stick to the pan's surface and prove difficult to remove.

Users have reported that the white color on the cooking surface makes it easy to spot stains. However, it discolors easily. As such, we recommend that you clean the pan immediately after use to prevent staining the white cooking surface.

Cleaning:

Cleaning the pan is easy because the non-stick ceramic surface prevents food items from sticking on it. Use regular hand washing to remove stains and avoid steel wool or scouring pads that could scratch the surface. We advise that you use it on moderate heat to prevent food items from sticking on the surface. This pan does not support oven use.

  • Supports induction heating
  • Easy to clean
  • Flat surface that ensures you use less oil

User reviews mention the handle being safe for use even after long usage over high heat, however, when cooking food that covers up to the upper third of the pan, the handle does get hot.

For lower amounts, the handle remains usable. Even when the middle metal parts of the handle overheat, the silicone and rubber covering the handle will protect you from burns.
