Brand: Korkmaz
Korkmaz is a well-known Turkish brand specializing in the manufacture of kitchenware and home appliances. They are recognized for producing durable, high-quality stainless steel cookware, including pots, pans, and pressure cookers, as well as various electrical appliances. The brand emphasizes durability, modern design, and functional excellence in its products, making them a popular choice for both professional and home kitchens.
Material: Stainless Steel
The frypan is constructed from high-quality stainless steel. This material is highly favored in cookware for several reasons:
Durability and Longevity: Stainless steel is resistant to rust, corrosion, and staining, ensuring the pan lasts for many years.
Non-Reactive Surface: It does not react with acidic foods (like tomatoes or vinegar), preserving the food's flavor.
Excellent Heat Retention: Good quality stainless steel often has an encapsulated or tri-ply base (a core of aluminum or copper sandwiched between stainless steel layers) for optimal heat distribution and retention.
Feature:
A critical design element is the riveted, stainless steel handle.
Secure Attachment: The handle is fastened to the pan body with strong rivets, which ensures a permanent and sturdy connection. Unlike screw-on handles, riveted handles do not loosen over time, providing a safer and more reliable grip when lifting or maneuvering a hot pan, especially when it is full.
Oven Safety: Being made of stainless steel, this handle is typically oven-safe (check specific product instructions for temperature limits), allowing the user to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven (like searing a steak and then baking it)
