If there is one thing we don’t scrimp on in this household, it is items for the kitchen – since food and drink is a necessity in life and one of our favourite things, we like our utensils to be of a fantastic quality and expect all products to stand the test of time. We have been very lucky over the years – being given some amazing (but expensive) crockery by Steve’s grandfather and winning over £400 of high quality kitchen items a couple of years ago. Unfortunately our items are starting to show their age a bit now after 4 years or so and we are looking to buy some new pieces so I was very happy when asked to review The Stone Earth Pan by Ozeri and relegated our old frying pan to the back of the kitchen cupboards whilst we gave this one a try.
One thing I have noticed about high quality pans and saucepans is that they are slightly heavier than the cheap alternatives that last for 5 minutes – but not so heavy that they aren’t easy to use. It is very sturdy and makes it easy to transport across the kitchen if needs be.
Our frying pan is one of our most used kitchen items and of course we have been putting the pan through its paces with a number of different tests – fry ups, omelettes – you name it, we have tried it over the last few weeks.
The pan takes a while to heat up compared to cheaper ones I’ve used but I put this down to the quality – this is sturdy whilst others are flimsy and is definitely thicker so the heat has more material to travel through. Once heated though, the pan proves its worth – you only need a miniscule amount of oil and the pan truly is non stick. There is even a magnetized bottom and a heat resistant silicone handle to make it even easier to use on a variety of stoves and ovens.
I was sent the 10″ pan and the pan also came with a protector to place into it and protect it from other pans when stacked in the cupboard. This is a nice little touch as if you look after your products, they will look after you and this quality product is definitely something I don’t want getting scratched! I’m definitely eager to try more products from the Ozeri range – if they are as good as this, I’m sold.
Do you prefer cheap and cheerful or high quality kitchen items?

I have the Ozeri wok and it is great, the non-stick is the best I have ever come across! x
