Ceramic Marble Coated Cast Aluminium Non Stick Fry Pan 26cm(10 inches)

After buying and using the Ceramic Marble Coated Non Stick Cast Aluminium Fry Pan with Lid, 28 cm (11 inches) and using it for a few weeks, I decided to buy this !0-inch pan to replace my old 10 1/4-inch T-Fal. I didn't need a lid as I had a nice standard glass lid I've used for years that fits it. It might even sound crazy, but right off I noticed fried chicken cooked in a KW Marble pan even tastes better when cooked using nothing but the natural oils in the meat. Steaks even taste better and brown better to seal in juices using nothing but the natural fats in them. Even 91% lean hamburger seals up perfectly and cooks in nothing but its own juices, staying juicy, without sticking. The results are final every piece of meat I've cooked in a KW Marble pan with no added grease has tasted better. I have only had to add a teaspoon or so of butter when cooking slabs of fish to help brown it. Oh, and by not adding grease, there is no grease splatter when frying food in this "marble" pan and my arteries won't be clogging up as fast from all the added fats and grease I previously had to use cooking with other pans. Just cook some french fries or fry some sliced potatoes a teaspoon of cooking oil helps them brown, and they never stick to the pan as you turn them over, and they look and taste just as good as if you deep fried them in oil! I'll be needing much less Crisco and butter in the future for my fried foods.

Why buy another KW Marble pan? I wanted the smaller one for easier use cooking bacon and eggs and making corn bread on the stovetop. The KW pans are very light weight (even lighter than my T-Fal), but they have a deeper more desireable flat floor area that is larger than others (except for cast iron pans) perfect for multiple 9-inch bacon strips. I had quickly learned from using the 11-inch pan that these KW Marble pans transfer and hold heat as well and better than cast iron, requiring lower burner temperatures to sear meats with none of the later clean-up of a cast iron pan or the stove top from popping grease. This also means you need less energy to cook with and foods do cook more quickly in these pans. The KW Marble pans also withstand higher temps that no Teflon pan can hold up to without damage. Since the KW Marble pans are coated inside and out, clean-up consists of only using a paper towel to wipe out the grease and using warm soapy water after the pan has cooled. That way no build-up of grease occurs that can't be easily removed and completely unlike Teflon pans that always show grease staining.

The coating on the KW pan? Mine haven't been in use very long, but still look like brand new even on the bottom where they've been slid back and forth on my electric burner eyes. The marble coating is much better than any Teflon product, and it's already apparent it is far superior to any Teflon pan I've ever used. I'm also using medium to medium high heats to start cooking, and having to turn the burners down below medium to keep from burning or overcooking foods too quickly something I like because I'm cooking faster using these Marble pans than I can using a cast iron pan.

My nylon turners can't take the heats of these new KW marble pans they melt in them just trying to flip a burger so I've been using some higher temperature very hard white plastic utensils with these KW pans. They don't melt, but what would normally be left stuck inside a cast iron pan now sticks to these utensils. This has prompted me to buy these Rubbermaid Commercial Products FG1963000000 13 1/2-Inch High Heat Scraper and iSi Basics Silicone 13 Inch Turner, White. This KW Marble cookware is nothing short of amazing. Teflon, it's not even as non-stick as this marble ware is.

The instructions say to initially use a little oil to cure the pan for first use. I use a paper towel to wipe and then wash all the oil from my KW pans, with dish soap and warm water after every use. You just don't need to use any oil cooking with them and I don't need any to build up on them possibly making them less non-stick over time. Notable, but not of much importance the silver metal inlay on the handle is different from the one pictured here and the one on my 11" pan. There are also gold colored specks added in this pan coating along with the light ones, compared to the light ones in my 11" pan. The design on the bottom of this pan, that contacts the burner, is also different from the one on the 11" pan, which simply shows KW odd, since both supposedly come from the same manufacturer and retailer, and the smaller pan has an ACECOOK trademark and Made In Korea on its bottom.

*Note* Update 2/21/2012:

While the Rubber Maid silicone scraper is nice, the iSi Basics Silicone 13 Inch Turner, White was perfect for my use with the new Ceramic Marble pans (the Rubber Maid product is too flexible for most use as a turner, but fine for gravies and other uses).

Made in South Korea purportedly the leaders in ceramic cookware coatings

I bought three of them and they work wonderfully. not a thing sticks to the surface and the aluminum that is encased in the non-stick coating is nice and thick. Worth every penny !

I purchased these pans on 9/9/2011. In July this year the pans became so useless that I needed to soak them over night to remove what could not be removed with a soft sponge; even then I was using the spatula to try and remove what was still sticking to the pan. I sent an e-mail to MVT and received a response on 09/04/2012 saying that they would response within 24-48 hrs. I am still waiting and no answer as of today 9/13/2012. I am using my old Teflon pans bought in 2006; they still work and can be cleaned with a soft sponge. I would not recommend wasting your money on these pans
