Nano-Nano!
I’ll cut to the chase…Bialetti’s Aeternum non-stick frying pan is the best one I’ve every used. Period.
This collection of non-toxic, non-stick cookware is different from anything on the market. There’s no teflon coating to scratch and no chemicals. Only pure delight when it comes to the way it handles in the kitchen. I’m a bit of a lazy cook in that I like fast and easy clean up and this pan met my expectations. Even my husband Rob couldn’t believe how great it performs – both on the stove and during clean up. Here are a few of the key points:
- Features nano-ceramic technology – it performs like nobody’s business and is PFOA, PTFE and Cadmium free
- Clean up is a *snap*. It’s non-stick cooking without the non-stick coating
- This is just like using a Teflon pan with the exception that it’s healthier AND longer lasting (no teflon coating means longer lifetime for the pan. This sucker’ll last you decades)
- It’s lightweight yet extremely durable. The silicone handle keeps things cool around your digits, while the aluminum core evenly distributes heat
- At 10.25″ in diameter, this generously sized pan prepares dishes for 2-4 people (more if it’s a side dish). It’s a popular and versatile size and one you’ll reach for every day
- Comes standard with a 5-year manufacturers warranty against defects. Bialetti is a recognized leader in quality (not to mention it features clean Italian lines and design)
- See the entire aeternum collection here. More pieces will be arriving this summer!
Nano-ceramic is water based and made of titanium and suspended silicate micro-particles (the stuff glass is made of) and is one of the purest materials in nature. Yeah, it pretty much rules the roost in the cookware department.
The interior is cured at a very low temperature for durability and withstands temperatures up to 750 degrees. You’ll find it resists scratches and abrasions (I don’t recommend metal utensils) and you’ll love the way it feels in your hand. The handle also features a metal enforced hole for hanging if you prefer. This cookware is designed for stovetop cooking and not for oven use. That’s ok…I keep a few cast iron pans handy for frittata’s and other dishes that go from stovetop to oven. This one is what we reach for when we scramble eggs, saute veggies and other dishes and when I make slow cook sauces.
The white surface provides a fabulous cooking experience – you can actually see your food browning, sauteing or simmering. After having several of the Greenfeet staff give this pan a run, we put it out to some customers to try. All of our testers commented on how cool the pan was to use and quite frankly, we had a hard time tearing the pan away from them. Literally. I’m kinda sorry we didn’t film it and put it on YouTube.
Wrapping things up, the word on the street is the Aeternum line of cookware is the neatest thing since sliced bread. I’m sure there have been lots of other neat things since sliced bread, but it’s a pretty effective analogy. Greenfeet customer Jessicat mentioned in her review of the 12″ deep saute pan that “I have a good feeling about this cookware”. I couldn’t agree more.
