Which Brand Should I Buy?

Why Berndes Removable Handles?

Berndes are a world leader in cast aluminium cookware.

Their cookware ranges have grown remarkably in the UK market in recent years with a reputation for not only quality but really good prices for that quality.

We think that less has been spent on marketing than other brands - one reason why the prices are lower than comparable pan ranges.

The Removable Handles range is a Berndes best seller, primarily because it is so practical and flexible. A great design idea.

Why Emile Henry Flame?

Emile Henry is a family run international company dating back to 1850. It still manufactures in France, in Marcigny in Burgundy, employing 200 craftsmen. Marcigny is a small town nestling between the hills of Southern Burgundy and has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. It now exports to more than 50 countries, producing over 6 million pieces per year

The Emile Henry Flame range is a brand new innovation combining classic French style ceramic kitchenware and high tech innovation. It is the first ceramic casserole that can be used in direct contact with a flame. I think it is a fantastic, versatile range.

Emile Henry Flame® has a unique ceramic which can be used in the oven, microwave, dishwasher or freezer. It is amazingly strong, highly resistant to thermal shocks (-20°C -> +250°C) and mechanical shocks (ie chip resistant). The hard glaze makes it possible to put any metallic utensil inside or to cut directly on the inside with a knife without scratching.This is on top of the traditional benefits of ceramic cookware, which diffuses heat slowly and evenly.

All dishes in the range can be used on stove tops, in the oven and microwave, and can also be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.

Emile Henry is certified according to the international standard ISO 9001.

The Healthy Frying Pan!

Lifetime warranty against distortion

Its healthy, fat free cooking claims are confirmed by being backed by:

Titanium, aluminium compound base, making it very strong, but also lighter than pure aluminium base pans.

But what makes them so popular?

Quality

Handles are watertight and heat resistant and are specially welded for extra strength. Unusually for pans of this type most pans are suitable for conventional and induction cooking.

Value for Money

Paderno without doubt gives you outstanding value for money compared with other leading brands. There is a huge choice of sizes too. We only stock the best sellers on our site. Please call if you want to know whether larger or smaller sizes are available.

"Real value for money - outstanding quality for the price" Nigel Haworth, Northcote Manor Hotel

"Solid, reliable and outstanding value for money" Glynn Windross, Head Chef, Marriott Forest of Arden Hotel

Why is Paderno not well known in the UK?

Paderno have primarily been geared up to the professional kitchen market - as Staub and other leading brands have been before them. But unlike Staub, the manufacturers have not yet promoted their product to the discerning general public! So the magazine cover, the promotional material etc etc is just not there. The professional kitchens in the UK know Paderno well. Its time that us aspiring amateur cooks got wind of this well kept secret as well!

Why SKK Induction?

The SKK Induction Range is a high performance pan range, with a metallic magnetic layer to make it suitable for use on Induction Hobs

It has a slightly different composition from the new SKK Premium Plus range, being based on the SKK Premium Titanium range that went before the Premium Plus. Not quite so high spec a pan as the SKK (for example, the non stick so not quite so durable), but it is still a very good pan range.

Why Swiss Diamond?

Swiss Diamond produce pots and pans made with real diamonds! Swiss Diamond have harnessed their unique physical properties to come up with a new non-stick coating, which even scooped a Gold medal at the Geneva Inventors Fair.

Lifetime warranty

The secret behind the brilliance of Swiss Diamond is the unique physical properties of diamonds that provide the non-stick cooking surface with dazzling benefits not found in any other cookware. Not only are diamonds the hardest natural substance but they also possess the highest thermal conductivity, four times that of copper. Numerous other special properties have seen diamond used in industrial, medical and scientific applications. Now Swiss Diamond have found a way to take advantage of this impressive material in non-stick coating.

The non-stick surface is far more cut, chip and abrasion resistant than anything else out there. The secret is combining industrial diamond crystals with a non-stick composite to create a virtually indestructible cooking surface.

This composite gets fused to the pan, rather then layered on, as with most other non-stick surfaces. Swiss Diamond invented this technology and is the only one in existence who uses it.

But it is not just the non-stick coating which makes these pans so special.

Swiss Diamond non stick has no harmful compounds. Swiss Diamond has a nano-composite extra thick layer of traditional PTFE non-stick (as used by Teflon) AND diamond crystals which they claim is 25% better than titanium at giving a lifetime of smooth non-stick surface. The quantity of PTFE used is small compared to other non stick pans and Swiss Diamond confirm that the harmful PFOA component in the PTFE is NOT present in the pans. This has been confirmed by the Danish Technology Institute.
