Tefal Comfort Grip

MATERIALS

For this specific case, the French firm Tefal uses aluminum to forge the structure of this pan. Aluminum is a very effective material and well proven in other Tefal pans with great success.

This material makes them very light and guarantees considerable resistance. However, this material has a downside, and that is that aluminum is incompatible with induction hobs. In some models they have solved this problem by inserting a ferritic disc inside, as in the case of the Tefal Expertise.

It is not the case of this model, where they have preferred to invest the budget in implementing other technologies at the cost of reducing the target audience towards those that DO NOT use induction hobs.

Therefore, this frying pan is perfect to work in glass-ceramic, gas or electric cookers. It is even possible to put it in the oven to finish our recipe by gratin cheese, or whatever comes to mind. The only requirement for this is not to set the oven temperature above 175ºC.

ANTI-ADHERENCE

Here Tefal put all the meat on the spit and turned to the precious mineral: Titanium. He applied his new technologies to these Comfort Grips and coated the surface of these pans with Titanium Force non-stick  .

It is especially resistant and durable, thanks to its Titanium inserts. The function of this material in pans is to protect the non-stick surface underneath. Therefore, the non-stick on the first day will be the same over the years, as its non-stick surface will be protected by Titanium.

We usually recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick surfaces, although these pans allow a certain abuse without suffering the slightest damage.

HEALTH

The structure of the pans is made of aluminum, and it is covered by several layers, the top layer being the Titanium Titanium Force layer itself . This proprietary Tefal nonstick coating is PFOAS free, lead free and 100% recyclable.

If you want more information about PFOAS, in our blog we talk about toxic substances in pans [ SEE BLOG ]

The Tefal Comfort Grip are very healthy pans as long as the non-stick surface is not damaged by knives, we already anticipate that it will be difficult for you to damage them.

On the other hand, and also related to health is the way of cooking. Some pans need to add large amounts of oil so that the food does not stick. With these Comfort Grip, two drops of oil will be enough to cook almost any recipe. And the best thing is that this is so on the first day and it will be the fifth year.

TEFAL COMFORT GRIP TECHNOLOGY

Here Tefal has added, in addition to its non-stick with inserts in Titanium, other proprietary technologies of the house:

• The Thermospot:  as we saw in the video at the beginning, it is a circle in the center of the pan that will turn red when it reaches the optimum temperature for cooking. With this we get, for example, to know the exact moment in which to put the meat, so that it is well sealed and prevent it from losing water.
• The Diffusal base:  made of copper, it will allow a rapid and homogeneous diffusion of heat so that all parts of the pan are at the same temperature and everything is cooked at the same time and with the same intensity. This is especially important in large diameter pans where the fire does not cover the entire surface of the pan.
• The ergonomic handle:  which is tremendously functional. This ergonomic handle is studied and has an outstanding touch. It is specially developed to handle with one hand, with wet hands, even with hands with traces of oil.
• Super light structure: Tefal wanted to make light and ergonomic pans and they have succeeded. Its aluminum structure combined with the ergonomic handle, allowall types of peopleto manipulate the pan (even loaded) with one hand, even the weakest or very old.

DESIGN AND DURATION

We must recognize that, in addition to the quality of the materials used, design goes a long way. And it is that from Tefal they have achieved a very successful design with these pans. Its copper-look base gives them a classic and antique touch . Of course, with all the available technologies.

Of course, by buying Tefal Comfort Grip we will not only buy very durable pans. We will also buy sturdy pans that will attract attention every time we take them out.

Of course, they can be washed in the dishwasher in the most comfortable way. We recommend washing them by hand, and these pans are so non-stick that as soon as they finish, with a jet of water and a cloth they are impeccable. But if for whatever reason you want to put them in the dishwasher, you can.

ARE THEY WORTH IT?

As we have seen, with these pans Tefal has managed to implement all its technologies in some pans. It has added the Titanium Force, the Thermospot, the ergonomic handle, the diffusal base …

If you are looking for very resistant, beautiful and non-stick pans, these are them. However, if you need pans compatible with your induction hob, you will have to look at another model like the one we suggest at the end of the article.
