Kuhn Rikon wins at frying omelettes with "Kassensturz"
8.2.2024
Translation: machine translated
Many omelettes were fried for a comparison test in the SRF consumer magazine programme. In the end, they realised that two ceramic pans can compete with one that is coated with Teflon.
The "Kassensturz" editorial team had a German laboratory cook omelettes in nine ceramic pans. Under laboratory conditions, they determined how good the heat distribution and non-stick coating are after a long period of use. The result is a test victory for a model from Kuhn Rikon and one from Silit. One achieved a score of 5.4, the other 5.3.
If you only need your ceramic pan for omelettes, you can use these pans without hesitation. Pan patriots will be delighted to see a Swiss company win and wince because the award-winning pan is "Made in China".
The long-term omelette test gave four pans unsatisfactory marks (click here to see the results). These included the most expensive pan, a model from Eva Solo.
Maybe these pans have other qualities than omelettes? Our colleague Martin Jud prepared more than monotonous egg dishes during the long-term test of his new pan:
Don't use a ceramic pan for steak
Even though the ceramic pans from Kuhn Rikon and Silit won the test, they are only moderately suitable for searing meat, just like Teflon pans. If they get too hot, this shortens their service life. Teflon pans have recently fallen into disrepute due to their coating. The chemical compound polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE for short or known under the brand name Teflon, can release hazardous substances.
Note: Unfortunately, the two test-winning pans are not available at the time of publication of this article. Our buyers will take care of replenishment as soon as possible. You can activate a notification.
