So that nothing burns even with a little oil: Coated pans are suitable for gently cooking vegetables, fish and egg dishes, for example.

But there are a few things to consider when buying and using.

The handle falls off, the heat is only distributed irregularly, the coating crumbles after a while: Some

pans with a non-stick effect

are risky for amateur cooks.

This is now shown by an investigation by the Stiftung Warentest *.

Stiftung Warentest has tested 14 non-stick coated pans: two "poor"

Out of

14 pans tested,

only

4 were rated “good”

: Gastro Sus Diamas Pro, Fissler's Adamant Comfort, Zwilling Madura Plus and Woll Concept.

These pans cost on average

between 50 and 100 euros

.

Eight products received the rating “satisfactory”,

2 were

“unsatisfactory”

- the testers had safety concerns about them, reports the foundation in the magazine “test” (issue 1/2021).

In the test on an induction device, a model heated up to almost 400 degrees Celsius after just a few minutes.

According to the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is usually what the coating is made of, can

release toxic fumes

, such as fluorine compounds,

from 360 degrees Celsius

.

Another product broke the handle, there was a risk of burns.

Many amateur cooks make this pan mistake - but you can easily avoid it.

Beware of scratches and excessive heat

After buying a good product, it is also

very important to use it correctly

.

The

Stiftung Warentest warns that

such non-stick pans

should never be used empty and at full heat

.

In addition, according to the “test”, the pans are mostly sensitive to

sharp objects, acidic foods and scratchy pan cleaners

- all of which could destroy the coating.

The testers recommend that the pan must be replaced at the latest when it is no longer intact.
