The BALLARINI Salina saute pan has quickly become a staple in my kitchen, wife absolutely loves it. From the moment I unpacked it, the high-quality craftsmanship was apparent. It’s a robust yet stylish piece of cookware, perfect for a wide range of dishes.Pros:*Durable Construction: The titanium ceramic coating feels incredibly sturdy and has excellent non-stick properties. It requires little to no oil, making cooking healthier and cleanup effortless.*Versatility: At 28 cm, it’s large enough for stews, sauces, or frying, and the depth is perfect for reducing splatter. It’s also oven-safe, which is a bonus for recipes that need finishing in the oven.*Even Heat Distribution: The radiant induction base ensures consistent cooking, avoiding hot spots, which is great for delicate sauces and evenly browning meats.*Ergonomic Design: Despite being slightly heavy, the stay-cool handle makes it comfortable and safe to manoeuvre. The lid fits snugly, trapping moisture and flavour effectively.*Attractive Aesthetic: Designed in Italy, its sleek, granite-like finish and polished stainless steel handle add a touch of elegance to my kitchen.Cons:*Weight: While the weight contributes to its stability on the hob, it might be cumbersome for some users, particularly when lifting or pouring.*Price: It’s on the pricier side, but the premium quality justifies the investment for those looking for long-lasting cookware.*Care Requirements: Although dishwasher-safe, handwashing is recommended, which might not suit everyone’s routine.* The lid knob can get very hot, so beware.Price and Value:This sauté pan is an investment, but the quality, durability, and performance make it worthwhile. Its versatility means it can replace several other pans, potentially saving space and money in the long run.Overall Verdict:This pan strikes an excellent balance between style and function. Whether you’re searing, sauteing, or stewing, it performs consistently well. While it’s not the cheapest option, the combination of durability, even heat distribution, and non-stick capabilities makes it a valuable addition to any kitchen. Happy to recommend.

What can I say about this pan, the best pan I have ever tried, made with high quality materials, very easy to clean and cooks food incredibly well and is truly non-stick. It can also be used on any hob. For me the best pan in the world. Highly recommended

This pan has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. The quality is clear even before you unpack it; the weight of the pan in the box, felt reassuring and it feels sturdy and well-made. The titanium ceramic non-stick coating is amazing and makes cleaning the pan easier, so far nothing has stuck to it; cooking feels easier and you barely need any oil.It’s a great size for so many dishes. The depth is a bonus; deeper than a standard frying pan. It helps reduce splatter, whether I’m frying bacon and eggs or simmering a stew. Plus, it’s oven-safe, so it’s perfect for recipes that need finishing off in the oven. The heat distribution is super even, which is great for getting everything cooked just right.I have a La Creuset frying pan, it doesn’t carry the same weight, but is very good and I think this one stacks up well against it. This one is far cheaper in price though.The handle stays cool when used on the stove but the knob on the lid can get pretty hot. It can go in the dishwasher but handwashing is recommended for longevity.It’s a worthy investment. Quality product.

Top quality frying pan with glass lid for easily viewing. The lid is excellent quaility and thick with a very sturdy handle. The pan itself has a stainless ovensafe riveted handle and the bottom of the pan is thick to distribute and retain heat The ceramic titanium coating makes it easy to clean the pan and food sticks less often. This is a top quality frying pan you will be able to keep and use for a long time. Recommended
