WMF Ceradur Profi

MATERIALS

The WMF CeraDur Profi is built with an 18/10  WMF Cromargan stainless steel body and is also coated with CeraDur on the inside. Its materials make it non-stick par excellence, so the food never sticks to the base and they are resistant to high temperatures, supporting up to 400ºC. Remember that stainless steel pans are the best option in healthy non-stick pans.

The advantage of stainless steel is the rapid acquisition of heat and the very high temperature that it is capable of reaching. This allows us to prepare many more recipes, but we must also know how to control temperatures.

As for this outstanding heat retention, it will also allow us to save energy by being able to turn off the heat source in advance. The last 5 minutes you can continue cooking with the residual heat.

ANTI-ADHERENCE

WMF trusts the non- stickness of these Ceradur Profi pans to a ceramic surface (which it has named Ceradur). This type of surface has innumerable advantages, such as outstanding non-stickiness and the total absence of toxic chemicals.

Remember that it is totally free of PFOAS and PTFE. It does not contain any type of chemical additive that can affect your health.

The downside of ceramic surfaces is that they can easily deteriorate if we mistreat them. What does it mean to mistreat a frying pan? Mainly use metal utensils for cooking and rub the ceramic surface with some iron material. The solution is simple, go through changing your utensils for ones made of wood or silicone.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Almost indestructible construction : WMF Cromargan 18/10 stainless steel is one of the best on the market. This material is non-deformable, withstands bumps and scratches. These WMF Ceradur Profi will withstand the years perfectly.
• Ergonomic anti-heat handle : it is something that is often overlooked, and it is really important. Stainless steel is heavier than aluminum, so it is important that a good ergonomic handle makes it easier to grip. And in this case, in addition to having excellent ergonomics, it is antipyretic to avoid heat transmission.
• Total compatibility : Another advantage of this material is its total compatibility with all types of kitchens. It will work without problems on induction, glass-ceramic, gas and electric cookers. And if that’s not enough, you can also put this WMF Ceradur Profi frying pandirectly in the oven.
• Energy efficiency : the Transtherm base achieves optimal heat distribution over the entire surface. This accomplishes two things. On the one hand, it guarantees that the temperature of the center will be the same as that of the extremes, avoiding overheating. On the other hand, it retains heat in an optimal way, achieving greater energy efficiency.
• Versatility : WMF has thought of everything and that is why they have developed this frying pan with one handle and two handles. In this way, it is possible to acquire it with two antipyretic handles that will facilitate storage and prepareoutstanding stews and soupy dishes.

BETWEEN YOU AND ME

We are not looking at very cheap pans, but they are of excellent quality. WMF has not been known throughout its almost two centuries of history for trying to compete on price. If it has stood out for something, it is for the outstanding quality of its product and, above all, for its durability.

If the price suits your budget, we assure you that you will not go wrong. With minimal care on its ceramic surface (not using metal utensils) you will have a pan for half a life. And the best thing is that the extremely high temperatures that it is capable of reaching will allow you to greatly increase your repertoire of recipes. With other pans it would be unthinkable, firstly because its structure does not reach the temperature, and secondly because if it did, it would bend.

In short, the WMF Ceradur Profi is a very complete professional frying pan that, for the price, can be available to any user.

YOU MAY BE INTERESTED

If you like high-end stainless steel pans, but want the non-stick surface to be more resistant, we can offer you something. The Swiss-made Kuhn Rikon Silver Star frying pan also has a stainless steel frame, and its non-stick surface is coated with Titanium.

It is a frying pan very similar to this model that we analyzed, with the difference of the Titanium finish and that its polish is more “matte” instead of gloss.

If, on the other hand, what you are looking for is something similar but with less weight and cheaper, we propose the WMF Ceradur Plus. They are the ” sister cousins ” of these pans, but their structure is not made of stainless steel but of aluminum. This takes away a bit of resistance but makes them much lighter. If you have trouble holding very heavy things, this may be the best option.
