So appropos of the recent subthread on covers, I dug out the cover that Randalhank sent me years ago. It’s heavy, all SS. hell for stout, and seems to fit many pans of many sizes.
I went back and looked at it, and it’s marked “Silga Design, Milano”. A visit to the website indicates that this lid is 1.5mm of 18/10 SS. The page for the Teknica line indicates these disk-base pans have 7mm aluminum cores.
Does anyone here have any Teknica, and how do you think they compare to other high-grade disk pans. e.g., Fissler. Cristel, Paderno GG, etc.?
I have two piece. I feel like they are really well made overall, but I don’t have a lot of comparisons as I have some unicorn shapes in my collection. One is like a 36 or 38cm rondeau or low casserole, which is great when doing pre-braise browning on a large scale. The thick base is super even for this purpose, when you need a lot of surface area but also need to hold a bit of liquid.
Kaleo, you still wanting to find out more about Teknika? Some have that super thick base, I got two sauce pots and two saute pans to hold for my boys in those a couple or so years ago.
I use the thinner regular base pots and I like them a lot with no trouble. They’re all made well. I found the thinner regular base 11 inch saute pan I had always wanted in a Home Goods. But I ended up taking it back because, one, I don’t need it at all, and two, I was afraid at that size it might warp and would need to get the thicker base for myself, so that brings me back to one, don’t need it at all. I believe I’ve got all I need in cookware.
