Ballarini 75001-651 Parma Forged Aluminum Nonstick Fry Pan Set, 2-Piece, Granite

La mejor compra que he hecho en calidad/precio. Para empezar, estos sartenes los he visto en tiendas departamentales como Liverpool y Palacio de Hierro y cada uno en lo individual llegan a costar entre $1000 y cerca de los $2000 pesos mexicanos.Yo ya conocía la marca porque alguna vez los llegó a vender Wal Mart de Estados Unidos.Ahora me los reencontré en México y son lo mejor. Son super resistentes, tienen un indicador de calor cuando la temperatura está lista, no se les pega nada y son super fáciles de limpiar.Por ejemplo, me gusta cocinar mucho hot cakes y los preparo en estos sartenes. La mantequilla no se quema, los hot cakes tienen un cocimiento homogéneo.

These are BY FAR the best fry pans we've ever owned and used.PROS: First of all, they are truly non-stick. We've cooked a variety of items and nothing has stuck to the surfaces of these pans thus far. Usually, I can rinse 90% of the residue off before even taking a dishcloth to them. Secondly, they lie flat which means that eggs and similar items don't tend to run to the outside edges as they did on some of our other non-stick wear. Third, they distribute heat very evenly so items cook well regardless of their location on the surface. Finally, the temperature indicator on the handle is a nice touch too.CONS: As others had noted in their reviews, both pans arrived slightly deformed which suggests that the packing from the factory isn't as effective as it needs to be for handling. But applying two-handed pressure with both thumbs, I was gradually able to reshape them into a more acceptably round shape. Also, they tend to hold heat, which is good for cooking, but it also means that you need to allow more cooling time before washing them since the manufacturer warns that immersion while too warm might affect the granite finish. On occassion, this has slightly delayed cleanup, but it has not proven to be a big deal. And the nice little temp indicator gives a visible indication of when they are cool enough to wash.

Most likely caused by shipment. Impacted or pressed on. Any exchange allowed?

Awesome pans, a bit on the pricey side but worth it. I've used it to cook multiple things so far and nothing sticks!

I have been using a set of these for almost a year and have been so impressed I bought a set as a gift. I first saw the Parma set at a demo at a big box store and was attracted to the lack of rivets (I hate rivets in skillets) The demo was impressive, cooking eggs with no butter and no sticking. I do use a little butter with eggs for flavor or if I'm going to flip them. I've used the 8" (pictured) probably 250 to 300 times, and it is still like new, needing just a quick wipe after use. I wipe with a wet cloth or paper towel if something sticks a little bit or if I'm cooking something that might impart a flavor, like onions, garlic or shallots. I have never needed to wash any of them. I still have a place in my kitchen for my cast iron on occasion, but I use the Ballarini far more often.
