Material
Rondell frying pans are made from aluminium, plain and heavy cast, steel and cast iron. Outside is non-stick enamel for easy cleaning and maintenance. The inside of the pans are covered with Tomatec non-stick enamel, titanium TriTitan (used most often in Rondell) or Teflon. Ceramic coating American DuPont and Swiss ILAG.
Teflon should not overheat, otherwise it will release toxic substances. For control, special dots are applied to the bottom of the pan, which turn red when the temperature is reached, at which it is urgent to put food in the pan.
Handles are made of bakelite, silicone, beech, stainless steel. All, except for the last one, do not allow you to burn yourself with a hot frying pan. They are attached with screws to the body of the pan. Often the handles are removable. This allows you to install pans in the oven. Plus, they're easier to hide.
Many Rondell pans come with lids. They are usually made of glass. Through them it is convenient to observe the process of cooking. But you can use an existing cover. You just need to choose the appropriate size.
A lot of Rondell pans are not suitable for induction cooktops. They need dishes with a special bottom.
Many Rondell pans are not dishwasher safe.
Pancake pans
The Rondell pancake pan differs from others by its very low sides. Their height is about 1 cm. Aluminum frying pans can be used on any stove, except for induction. Pancakes do not burn due to the fact that the pan is very thick, 3.5 mm. There are some comments on the location of the handle. It is a little low, which is inconvenient when using on the far burner.
The pancake pan is not dishwasher safe. But cleaning it manually is easy.
Rondell pancake pan won't scratch glass-ceramic cooktops.

Use and care
Producers do not advisecut something with a knife in Rondell utensils. Each of the models must be used for its intended purpose. In a frying pan - fry, in a saucepan - stew vegetables, in a saucepan - boil.
You need to choose the size of the pan, taking into account the size of the burners. Ideally, they should match. This is especially true for electric stoves. The size of the bottom may be slightly larger than the burner.
For gas stoves, this problem can be solved by adjusting the width of the flame under the pan.
The size of the pan is indicated on the outer edge. The bottom is always a little smaller. It can be 8 cm for a regular frying pan, 4 cm for pancakes, grills and stewpans. Woks have a bottom that is 2 times narrower than the outer edge (size).
The optimal and universal size of a frying pan is 24 or 26 cm. But some dishes are better cooked in two smaller frying pans.
How to choose a frying pan
Currently the best is the TriTitan titanium non-stick coating. It allows you to cook almost without fat. You can use metal spatulas and spoons. Corrugated pans are especially effective. Fat collects in the grooves, food does not dry out, becomes soft and juicy.
Products in ceramic-coated pans cook very quickly, do not burn, metal spoons do not scratch it. But it is afraid of blows. Chips may appear.
If you need a frying pan more for beauty, then you should buy a ceramic-coated pan.
In the event that you cook a lot and often, it is better to buy a pan withtitanium.

Reviews are negative
After a couple of years of using aluminum frying pans, a tubercle is blown out at the bottom, because of which the frying pan does not stand evenly on the burner, but slightly obliquely. This worsens the quality of cooking, although not critical, and forces us to look for some solutions.
Rondell's pan doesn't clean well from the bottom, becomes ugly, looks like old cast iron.
