It is not always possible to buy a quality frying pan: professional models from European brands are not cheap, and unscrupulous sellers often offer fakes of proven brands, which use paint instead of a non-stick coating. In order to protect yourself, it is better to make a purchase in large stores, directly through the company's website or from a domestic manufacturer, for example, Kukmorsky Zavod.

Types of Kukmara frying pans
By appointment
The classic Kukmar frying pan is widespread due to its versatility and familiarity of design: low, straight or slightly widened at the top walls. Most often, models are equipped with one long handle. The products are suitable for frying without oil.
The wok differs from the classics by its high walls, significantly widened at the top. Thus, the diameter of the product along the upper edge is several times larger than the size of the base. The wok model is convenient primarily because it is much easier to stir in it, because the bowl is almost round. It is intended for cooking on the stove and over an open fire.
The grill is suitable for all types of cookers, except induction, models with removable handles can be placed in the oven. They are equipped with spouts for draining excess oil and liquid, this keeps the kitchen clean and eliminates the smell of burnt fat.
The Kukmar pancake pan with an ergonomic handle allows you to cook a lot of pancakes without getting tired of the monotonous process. The product is 20 cm in diameter, weighs about 700 grams and has 5 layers of non-stick coating, thanks to which the finished pancakes slide off easily.

By material of manufacture
The plant uses food grade aluminum as its main raw material. The products are made manually or by the chill method according to strict GOST standards, they undergo testing and certification. In addition to aluminum cookware, the plant produces cast iron products.
By type of non-stick coating
The protective layer allows you to cook healthier food without adding oil or with a minimum amount, food does not stick to the surface, so washing occurs in one movement of the hand. The composition is applied by spraying, which is considered more durable compared to layer-by-layer rolling.
The work on applying protection begins with priming, i.e. applying a preliminary layer, then 1 to 4 layers of a special composition are sprayed on top. The protection increases the thickness of the product and extends its life, but in case of damage to the integrity it does not poison the food with toxic substances. The plant uses non-stick compositions produced in Germany, Italy and the USA with the addition of various components - mineral particles, titanium.
The marble coating on the Kukmar frying pan is used in the “Marble” line of the same name. The mineral chips added to its composition create a strong protective barrier that extends the life of the utensils by more than 6 times, as confirmed by the results of abrasion tests.
Titanium protection is almost impossible to scratch, so the use of metal spatulas is allowed. Titanium utensils are suitable for home and professional use.
Ceramics require more careful handling, but pleases throughout the entire service life. It gives the appearance a special charm, to the touch it resembles polished stone. With such a coating, you can use metal cutlery, but it is advisable to have special spatulas in the kitchen.
By the thickness of the walls and bottom

The thickness of the frying pan walls ranges from 4 to 6 mm, it is responsible for maintaining the temperature, bringing the dish to readiness after turning off the stove.
The container heats up quickly and cools down slowly, the average bottom thickness of 6 mm prevents burning. The outside of the bottom is grooved for uniform heating, finely ribbed to the touch.
Additional information. The thickness of the dishes and the methods of metal processing protect them from deformation. The products are cast, so they are distinguished by their weight: more than stamped metal. The weight is responsible for the stability and lifespan of the product.
