Moneta Etnea Artech Ultra Frypan 24cm

I have waited a few months before writing a review because I have some frying pans in the past that were absolutely brilliant at first but lost their non stick properties very quickly. It has been almost four months now and this pan is still as good as new. I realise four months doesn't seem like long, but the last non stick pan I bought , which was considerably more expensive, was already failing by thus time, and this pan has been used more. You can fry many things without oil at all in this, but I prefer to use just a tiny drop for some foods, even 1/4 tsp wiped around with a pastry brush, and yes you can cook an egg with such a small amount of oil. Some foods I quite like this way, but others really won't taste the same without more oil. But whatever you cook from stir fry to fried chicken this require far less oil than ordinary pans, and I have noticed the oil doesn't burn as easily with a lot of batter fried foods like chicken or onion rings. I honestly believe this pan will pay for itself eventually simply be reducing the oil needed so drastically, not it mention the health benefits and the lack of burned foods.... because anyone can cook with this. The heat distribution is perfect. I am not sure if you can use metal utensils with this. I love this pan so much I have decided not to risk it. I can't stand those floppy silicone utensils though, so went for a compromise , a good solid nylon set of spatula ( LEMCASE nylon spatula set). After cooking, I pour some water into this and let it sit. After dinner all you have to is dump the water and give this a ten second wipe with a soapy sponge, rinse and it is clean. I have a dishwasher , but we have never bothered to use and the dishes must be rinsed first anyway and this takes up a lot of room. I would also note that I am extremely over sensitive to chemical smells and find the non stick coating on most pans release a very distinct odor. There is no scent at all from this pan, and being chemical free, I assume it is bird safe. One of our reasons for getting rid of the old non stick pans was that we own a parrot. It lives upstairs, and would be brought down while we were cooking, but even in another room, the fumes from some pans can kill a bird.... which makes me wonder how safe those chemicals are for our children. I am reviewing this now because I had to go through my old orders to find it anyway, as I am recommending it to a good friend. And I think that really says what I think of the product best of all, I like it well enough to recommend to friends and family. That and I am trying to save up to buy more pieces for myself. The only possible drawback to this item is it a little bit heavier than some of the cheaper non stick pans. It is much lighter than cast iron, but not a lot lighter than a stainless steel pan. For most people this won't be an issue but it could be for someone with extreme arthritis or other joint problems.

Great pan. I’ve had it 3 months now and it’s our main pan so gets used almost everyday. I wanted to wait before reviewing it to see if the non-stick would wear off but so far it’s still really good. I wasn’t sure about the pan when I bought it because I’d always thought it Teflon was the best surface for pans, but nothing sticks to it and it’s holding up better than my Teflon ones usually do. The only downside is that it seems to need a higher heat than my old pan to get colour on food, but that might be because it’s slightly bigger. It’s pretty deep so you could probably make sauces in it if that’s something you’re interested in but I’ve not tried myself.

I purchased this pan primarily because of what it doesn't contain - no nickel, no PFOA etc, so a much healthier cooking surface than a Teflon covered frying pan. So far I have found the non stick properties to be excellent, although this can change with time, so I will update if this is the case. Very convenient that the pan can be placed in the dishwasher. One small issue - the pan is perhaps slightly too big. I purchased the 32cm as it was the best value, and it seems to have very wide sides. Could possibly be too wide if you have a small hob with close together burners.

Substantial pan, decent size and not as heavy as I thought it would be. Can easily dry fry items without the need for oil/much oil - nothing seems to stick to it. Although I've not had it long so can't say how hardwearing it will be. It's also very good to look at. *Edit .. Feb 2020 - Dishwashers well, still going great, my "go to" pan.

Fantastic pan. A very good size. I do a lot of stir fry cooking and the heat distribution is excellent. A very sturdy pan and the handle is very comfortable in the hand. It’s very easy to clean and great value for money.

Love this pan. Makes cooking so much easier, quicker and more pleasurable. And soooo easy to clean. I brush a little oil on before use and it's a great non stick pan. Wish had bought years ago.

Within 18 months the pan was no longer non-stick. It has a 5 year warranty but the manufacturer does not reply to any communication. Would have been better off buying a cheap frying pan, it would have lasted longer

Great size for one pan dishes. It easily fits enough food for four meals. A bit heavier than my large nonstick which was a Branantia. I’ve never had one with this finish before but I like it. It saved the day on Pancake Tuesday when my smaller non stick Tefals just weren’t good enough. I would buy one again.

Ho acquistato questa padella della "Moneta" linea "Etnea" a luglio 2025 se non ricordo male durante il periodo di offerte estive Amazon al prezzo di euro 18, 79. E' esattamente come la volevo: ampia ( 28cm), bella da vedere, bordi alti, facile da impugnare, corpo spesso in alluminio così che sia super aderente e non si attacchi nulla al fondo e facile da pulire. Certo il costo, soprattutto quando non ci sono offerte, non è proprio basso: oggi, per esempio, vedo che la medesima padella costa oltre 30 euro, ma la qualità è innegabile. Mi è capitato di comprare delle padelle al discount "MD" della mia zona e la differenza con le pentole "Moneta" si vede e si sente tutta: sono molto più leggere, il rivestimento è debole, non sono così anti- aderenti e infatti dopo pochi mesi le ho dovute buttare perché si erano già rovinate. Quindi meglio spendere qualcosina in più, ma avere un prodotto solido e duraturo. Infatti, durante le offerte primaverili Amazon appena passate, ne ho approfittato per prendere un'altra padella della linea " Etnea" più piccola da 22 cm memore del precedente felice acquisto. Le consiglio
