I really love these pots, pans and steamer.
The key is slightly lower heat, choosing the correct size burner and taking good care of them, correct and proper cleaning is a must to keep them looking good.
I use Brasso several times a year with a soft cloth like a Chux, its time consuming but well worth it.
Food that sticks, simply soak a while with hot water and quality dishwashing liquid then use a non scratch scourer or (Gumption from the supermarket... now there's a must have product)!
UPDATE: Oct 2017 Purchased another set this time for the Airbnb apartment because they are quality, look great and would outlast most other pots/pans if the correct size burner is used and they are maintained as mentioned above.
The look, quality, longevity

total disappointment

published

I used my scanpan on gas, as any other pan. -food burnt down, and l could never get rid of the burn marks in the pan whatever I tried. When l used it again, with lots of oil, same result. Now it sits on the self, as it is too expensive to throw it in the bin where it belongs.

Beats non stick sets hands down.

published

Replaced 25yo Raco set with these. They heat rapidly, distribute the heat evenly and even burnt on teenager's goo cleans off readily with a little elbow grease.



They are heavy, that's because of the amount of metal in them. They do have big handles, but for me that makes them easier to use. Only complaint is that the 20cm steamer set only has one lid, so you can't put the steamer on a smaller saucepan to save energy and use the bigger saucepan with a lid on it.

cheap and good

published

I bought the scanpan impact for my new induction top. They were cheap and they are good. I like the glass lids and the heavy base. The finish is nice and handles strong and well fitted. I have formal training and cooked commercialy for many years, two at the benelong.

I’m really happy with the set.

published

The pots have excellent heat distribution, they are easy to clean and the glass lids are super handy. All of the pots and the steamer are just the right size for my family. The only downside is that the set did not come with a non stick frying pan. If I was to create a perfect set, I’d get rid off the baking tray and replace it with an additional non stick frying pan.

Tall sides, narrow base and holds 11 litres

published

This 11 litre stockpot has a base measuring 25cm, which is perfect for my Induction cooktop 22cm plate. The clear lid and tall sides 22cm deep (inside measurement) made cooking marmalade a non-boilover event. It is easy to clean and functions beautifully.

Scanpan Frypans

published

I have just renovated my Kitchen after 25 years and decided to invest in what I thought where great frypans.
Wrong as on my first use it scratched my brand new glass hotplates. I then was extra careful when I used it again on another hotplate and again small scratches appeared.
They are definitely not made for glass cooktops and this should be stated clearly before we waste our money on them.

Just to add on to the previous review there is vented holes on the side of the saucepan lids (you need to look close). I am extremely happy with my set. Even heat distribution, cooks well

Scanpan 36cm Impact Stainless Steel Wok

published

I thought I would try a stainless steel wok. Never again. This wok is very heavy but tinny in feel. It does not get particularly hot. It is 'V' shaped rather than 'U' shaped, which makes it very large for the amount of food it can handle. Cooking is slow. It is a large heavy waste of metal, in my opinion. Definitely not for me but stainless steel freaks may like it.

Scanpan Impact

All I can say is these pots and pans are the BIGGEST waste of money I have ever spent. Food gets stuck on the bottom of pans no matter how much oil you put in and the inside of both the pots and pans burns and you can't get the mark off. I'm sad to say I spent close to $400 on these piles of junk which I now have to chuck in the bin. Please don't waste your money and do not trust the scan pan name because the pots and pans are terrible!

Wok a failure !!

published

I bought this wok because of the Scanpan name. In this wok everything sticks to the bottom, no matter how much oil you use, and when cooking with gas you can't turn the flame up as is it leaves burn marks up the inside of the pan. It tends to stew meat rather than stir fry because the pan doesn't heat up the sides and cooks only on the bottom. There are way too many issues to consider when trying to cook a quick, simple stir fry in this wok. Don't be fooled by the Scanpan name, this wok is an expensive failure.

waste of money

published

I bought a scanpan frying pan 8mths ago and initially found it great but over the last month or so have found food sticking and the surface degenerating despite careful use and cleaning during this time.

The lifetime warranty is a joke and just about excludes anything that can go wrong with it.

No, I can't recommend nor would I buy again
Nothing
Food sticking, breaking down of non stick surface

Good quality but flawed design

published

We recently purchased a set of Scanpan Accent saucepans and the multifit steamer. Not cheap but very good quality and attractive items. The major flaw is that the saucepan lid handles get too hot to handle. Hard boil an egg and you can't lift the lid without a cloth. Poor design in this day and age.
Attractive and well made.
Lid handles get too hot to hold.

Love my new Impact Scanpan set

Scanpan Impact Frypans

published

I recently purchased 2 Scan Pan frying pans and am absolutely delighted with them. After using teflon coated pans most of my cooking life it did take a few trials to get used to cooking on stainless steel, but I have persevered and now I find them fab- eggs are still a challenge though. Delivery and general service was outstanding as usual, and I look forward to my daily newsletters
Sturdy and well made
Still can't cook eggs yet

Saucepans Okay Frypans Waste of Space

published

Don't bother with the Impact Frypan it burns everything at the lowest heat possible and you have to soak it for days and it still wont clean, And forget the lifetime Warranty Scanpan do not honour any Warranty, just Say you must have treated it incorrectly, a very expensive wastes of space.

Lifetime Warranty not honoured, burns everything wont clean
