What are the advantages of Neva Metall company cookware?

Neva Metall products have a number of obvious advantages that customers have already appreciated:

• Multi-stage quality control of production at all stages, from alloy sample analysis to acceptance of finished goods.
• Prices affordable to everyone.
• The cookware is environmentally friendly and safe to use (this is confirmed by the results of laboratory tests). All non-stick coatings are produced exclusively on a water basis. Neva Metal is engaged in the development of coatings for cookware, and makes them as safe as possible.
• Caring for the comfort and convenience of the hostess. Casting technologies make the cookware convenient for cooking. Oil in such a frying pan will be evenly distributed over the surface and will not flow to one side. In addition, almost all frying pans are equipped with removable handles. This allows you to change or remove them if necessary.
• A range of cookware for every taste. Cast cauldron from Neva Metal Cookware with a capacity of 5 liters with a lid-frying pan will provide ideal conditions for cooking real pilaf. Duck pans and stewpans allow the housewife not to worry about the taste of the prepared dishes. The products will not be overdried as a result of simmering and stewing, and will retain all the shades of taste.

Types of Neva Metal frying pans by purpose

The NMP company produces a wide range of frying pans of different purposes and price categories. Thanks to this, everyone can choose exactly the cookware that they need.

Wok pan

A frying pan of this shape has become popular with the growing passion for oriental cuisine. It has wide edges and a small convex bottom. Neva Metall produces several types of wok pans - from the budget "Karelia" (diameter 26 cm) to the premium wok of the "Saffran" collection. These pans allow you to easily catch and provide the necessary temperature for cooking oriental dishes.

Grill pan

The distinctive feature is a special ribbed coating. It is most convenient to fry steaks on it. The ribbed bottom allows you to make food juicy and tasty, but not greasy. This happens because moisture flows into the recesses on the bottom, and then evaporates from there. Some models have a press lid.

Pancake pan

A pancake pan is a must-have item in every kitchen. NMP has 9 models of such pans in its range, of different models and diameters. Pancakes do not stick, they are easy to turn over and remove, thanks to the flat bottom and high sides. As for oil, you will not need much of it - a special coating will not allow pancakes to burn. NMP also produces pancake pans with a figure imprint (in the form of a smiley, a sun and a cat).

Universal frying pans

In such a frying pan, you can not only fry, but also stew food. A deep frying pan with a lid can be used as a budget alternative to a cauldron for cooking pilaf. Neva Metal products are made using the golden section principle in casting. This gives the effect of uniform heating regardless of the composition.

Induction frying pans

This type is designed for cooking on induction cookers. The bottom is made in such a way that heat spreads quickly and evenly across its surface. So the frying surface heats up much faster.

Application methods and types of protective coatings for Neva Metal frying pans

Neva-Metal is the only developer of safe protective coatings for cookware in Russia. The basis of the non-stick layer for NMP cookware is fluoropolymer PTFE. This is an inert substance. It is not capable of entering into potentially harmful reactions for humans with either acids or alkalis. PTFE is recognized as safe all over the world.

As for perfluorooctanoic acid, which is often used by manufacturers of low-quality frying pans, it has never been used in Neva Metall production. This has been confirmed by numerous examinations.

Since it is much more difficult to apply the coating without perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), Neva Metall has developed a special technology – multilayer spraying. It allows applying a water-based protective layer, while maintaining its durability.

The main types of coatings used for NMP cookware include the following:

• Stone is a multilayer structure that imitates natural stone. This coating provides reliable protection for the cookware and allows you to cook without adding oil.
• Titanium coating. High-strength polymer-ceramic structure with maximum protection.
• Traditional for NMP multilayer coating on a water-silicon basis.
• Light coating with a microcrystalline structure (developed for the Coral series). Does not darken over time and retains non-stick properties for a long time.
• Protective layer using FORTRESS technology. Additionally protects dishes from external damage – scratches, chips, etc.

What are the distinctive features and advantages of the Titan-PC coating?

The Titan-PC coating is unique in its properties. Like all coatings produced by NMP, it is applied in several layers. The last layer is ceramic, which protects the previous three. A frying pan with the Titan coating of the first version serves up to 4 thousand cooking cycles.

The Titan-PK II technology has been developed and improved, with additional protection against possible damage. A fifth layer has been added. Thanks to it, the service life of dishes with titanium protection has increased to 8 thousand cycles.

Advantages of frying pans with Titan-PC coating

The main advantages of frying pans and other cookware with the Titan-PC coating include the following:

• Increased wear resistance. For a long time, such dishes will serve as new.
• Even heating. The situation when the middle of the pan is already heated, but the edges are still cold is excluded.
• Cooking with a minimum of oil or liquid. You can cook in a dry frying pan, and the food will not burn.
• Minimal risk of damage when washing, even in the dishwasher. The coating does not react with detergents and cleaning agents.

Thus, frying pans with titanium coating from Neva Metall can be called practically eternal. Such coating is almost impossible to damage or wear out.

What materials are frying pans made of?

Cast iron cookware

It is valued for its ability to retain heat after heating. Such frying pans are suitable for pancakes, frying, and stewing under a lid. However, a noticeable disadvantage is the weight of the frying pan. Therefore, cast aluminum frying pans with a non-stick coating are used as an alternative.

Aluminum frying pan

The Neva Metall company manufactures cast aluminum frying pans with a special protective layer. Such cookware is in no way inferior to cast iron, and at the same time much more convenient to use. For example, NMP pancake pans provide the same heating and heat retention as a cast iron frying pan. Pancakes do not stick to the surface either. And thanks to the reliable coating, aluminum frying pans from Neva Metall serve as long as cast iron ones.

Pan diameters

Main diameters of frying pans from Neva Metal Cookware.

• 18 cm is the smallest tableware.
• 20 cm – pans for frying pancakes start with this diameter;
• 22 cm is one of the most popular sizes.
• 24 cm is also one of the most popular diameters. For example, this includes the figured frying pans of the "Smile" and "Sun" series, many universal and pancake frying pans;
• 26 cm – many woks and pancake pans are produced in this diameter;
• 28 cm - this size includes both budget universal frying pans and cookware from collections.
• 30 cm – these are mainly premium collection frying pans, woks and wide pancake pans.

What's included in the set

The set that the buyer of dishes from the NMP company receives includes:

• pan;
• removable handle made of plastic or metal (the manufacturer has provided the possibility of using the cookware in the oven);
• lid (if included in the set). They are mostly made of durable glass, with a valve for releasing steam, you can also buy a lid separately;
• Instructions for using the cookware.

What are the differences between cast aluminum frying pans of the Neva Metal brand and stamped ones?

Many manufacturers use the technology of stamping dishes from aluminum sheets to reduce production costs. Such dishes are inexpensive, but they are easily deformed and do not last long. There are also some peculiarities in the application of non-stick coatings. When making stamped frying pans, the coating is rolled on before the molding stage. During the shaping with stamps, the non-stick layer is inevitably damaged.

Neva Metall uses a special technology for casting dishes from an aluminum-silicon alloy. This is the crystallization of the composition under pressure. The molten metal is pressed from both sides. This prevents air from entering the molecular structures. Therefore, cast dishes are more durable.

There are also significant differences in the application of the coating. For Neva Metal brand frying pans, it is applied by spraying onto the prepared finished body. It is pre-treated for better adhesion of the coating to the alloy. The next stage is drying and sintering. Thus, the non-stick coating is maximally protected from damage.

How to use frying pans from Neva Metall

The care features of Neva Metal dishes are described in the instructions included in the kit upon purchase. Its main recommendations.

• Before first use, remove all labels, wash the dishes in warm water and dry.
• Wash only with non-abrasive products and preferably immediately after cooking.
• It is better to soak the carbon deposits in warm water and not try to scrub them off immediately.
• Do not use metal brushes or sponges.
• In the dishwasher, wash with detergents for aluminum dishes with a non-stick coating. When washing with a regular detergent, it is better to do this separately from other dishes.
• Do not store cooked food in the frying pan. Cookware with a non-stick layer is not intended for this purpose.
• When cooking, stir food only with wooden or plastic spatulas. Do not use regular spoons or forks.
