The amount of materials that can be used to make pans is very wide. To make the base, brands often use aluminum or stainless steel. The advantage of aluminum is that it is cheaper, and lighter. On the other hand, the advantage of stainless steel is that it is much more resistant … although it is more expensive. And these Kuhn Rikon Silver Star spares no expense.
We know that the prestigious brand Kuhn Rikon manufactures its pans in Switzerland, has a long history in which it has earned the trust of the best chefs in the world. Cooking in a pan Kuhn Rikon is not cooking in a pan anymore. And this Silver Star is among its greatest exponents. Let’s see why.
MATERIALS
These Kuhn Rikon Silver Star have no aspiration to be the cheapest on the market. They simply want the best. For this, Kuhn Rikon uses the best materials: stainless steel as the base of the frying pan. Good start.

But the thing is not there, if stainless steel itself is almost indestructible, at Kuhn Rikon they resort to another expensive material, but really effective to ensure the durability of their frying pan: titanium.
Here is a short video of its qualities and design:

In this way, the top layer of this Kuhn Rikon Silver Star pan is coated with a layer of titanium to ensure its non- stickness throughout the life of the pan.
Regarding the design, it is another story. When we buy some pans we mainly want them to be good, but if they are beautiful, the better. And Swiss designers know how to do it. These pans are really pretty, with an award-winning design recognized around the world. They will be perfect in your kitchen, even if you are not using them!
ANTI-ADHERENCE
To guarantee the non-stickiness of the Silver Star non-stick pans they use a honeycomb surface. This gives them a non-stick capacity worthy of the best manufacturer and protected by the resistant titanium.
This non-stick solution makes washing these Kuhn Rikon Silver Star pans child’s play. With a little hot water and a cloth, it will be enough to remove the remains of food. Nothing will stick and the residue will go away with the jet of the tap.
On the other hand, the fact that the pan is manufactured in Europe, and specifically in Switzerland, is in itself a sanitary and quality guarantee. In its construction, they certify that the Kuhn Rikon Silver Star frying pan is free of any toxic substance such as PFOAS.
The good thing about this is that it is almost impossible to damage its non-stick surface for two reasons: titanium protects it from scratches, cuts … It is possible to cook using metal utensils. And on the other hand, these pans are suitable for use at temperatures of… Up to 450º! Most of the pans, if we forget them to the fire and they reach temperatures of 300º they will go directly to the garbage.
But as we said at the beginning, these Kuhn Rikon Silver Star are indestructible.
TECHNOLOGIES
Kuhn Rikon has patented Superthermic technology. This, applied to the diffuser base of the Silver Star pans, allows them to heat up extremely quickly. In addition, its diffuser bottom ensures an optimal temperature distribution over its entire surface. With this we avoid that one side of the pan is hotter than the other, spoiling the recipe.
When the most prestigious chefs in the world choose Kuhn Rikon’s Swiss pans for their recipes, it is for a reason.
On the other hand, the brand has worked hard to lighten the weight of these Silver Star pans. Even being made of stainless steel, the effort to lighten it to the maximum is noticeable and is reinforced by its ergonomic handle. This is one of those pans that is perfectly possible to operate with one hand.
The Swiss brand, faithful to its avant-garde manufacture, endows these Kuhn Rikon Silver Star with total compatibility with all types of kitchens. Thus, they can be used without any problem in induction, glass-ceramic, gas and electric cookers. It will always work, wherever you take it.
WORTH?
In short, this is a high-end frying pan, typical of the Kuhn Rikon range. The Swiss manufacturer spares no expense when developing a product. It does not fight to be the cheapest, that market belongs to others. Kuhn Rikon strives to be the best. In this way, with these Silver Star pans it is positioned as one of the best stainless steel pans that can be found on the market, if not the best. In addition, they are so sure of their quality that they offer no less than a 10-year guarantee.
And the best thing is that despite sparing no expense, we must say that they have achieved a really round product for a price well below what it deserves. It is true that the amount is higher than other firms, but from what we take home and the years and joys that it will give to our stomach, it really is well worth it.
