WollNowo 20 cm Sauce Pan with Detachable Handle

I've owned a couple of these pans now but my most recent one developed a problem with the non stick surface after 2 years and 4 months.The pan comes with a warranty of 25 years on the pan itself and 3 years on the non stick surface. so I contacted Amazon. Amazon stated they would only provide product support for 2 years so I contacted Woll. Woll just referred me back to Amazon to resolve it, after which Woll (who are based in Germany) ignored my emails. Basically the only conclusion that can be drawn is that Woll's warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. Beware!

This is our third Woll sauté pan over the years, we also have a milk pan.We sadly destroyed the nonstick lining on our previous sauté pan with a low fat spray - all now confined to the bin.We wanted a 28cms but we couldn’t find one so opted for the 26cms one which to be fair is big enough.Use virtually every day for making a variety of dishes- chilli, bolognese, casseroles, sauté rhubarb, American pancakes.The non stick surface is high quality and the pan extremely versatile as it can go in the oven. Easy to clean, food just washes off - don’t need to soak or scrub.The fact that the handle clips off makes it easy to store and use as a casserole dish.Would recommend just don’t use low fat cooking spray!!

I was relly looking forward for this pan but as you can see from the pictures after you washed it released a black dust I thought was just the first time but it gets worse every time so I don't think it is healty to continue to use it. I wrote to Woll but no answer. They are expensive so don't buy it as it is a waste yur money!

The pan itself is very good. However, I have a number of Woll pans with a different style of detachable handle which is much easier to click on and off. I have an AGA and therefore generally start things on the top and transfer to the oven. I find I have to hold the pan to engage the handle whereas the earlier ones engaged very easily. New handles not interchangeable with old. Presumably the change was a cost cutting measure!

This is the second Wol pan I’ve invested in. The first I replaced after 25 years constant use. The 28 cm pan is versatile. It can be used as a frying pan, roasting pan, casseroling ... the list goes on and on. I kept the lid from my first pan and am delighted with the replacement.

You don’t really need any other pans once you have this. Great to cook with, easy to clean - but suggest not in the dishwasher ( not that you really need to. Even scrambled eggs just rinse off!) Yes, not cheap but you are getting a good quality item.

The pan is 3.5 years in use. About a year ago the non-stick coating started to develop problems and now it lost the non-stick properties at all. The pan was used properly and 2-3 times per week only. The coating changed the color to some kind of grey shade and have spots in different shades of grey as well. I have another three pans from Woll, for more time, but not frequently used as this one, they are not developed such problem yet. It's pity that such expensive pan go out of use in such relatively short time.

I have many of these pans and would always recommend, I have these pans that are still in use from over 30 years ago so the non stick lasts. the only down side is they are a little heavy, however this is a little price for such great pans.
