About The Brand
Ballarini is a leading non-stick cookware brand founded in 1889 under its parent organization, Zwilling J.A. Henckels, one of the oldest names in the cookware industry. It’s now known for its wide range of pans and pots made by uniting expertise in metalworking and innovative non-stick coatings with a passion for superb cuisine.
All the cookware designed by this brand is manufactured in Italy, infusing the Italian heritage, family values, and tradition into every piece. For over 120 years, it has focused on its pans as a way of introducing Italian cuisine into your everyday cooking.
That’s why we’ve decided to review three of our top picks from the brand’s Parma collection.
Product Reviews
Parma Forged Aluminum Cookware Set
This is a 10-piece set of a dutch oven, frying pans, and saucepans of varying capacities and sizes. Each pan features a cold-forged body, which ensures efficient and uniform spread of heat throughout the surface, so you can easily cook delicious dishes for a large crowd within no time.
There’s no need to worry about overheating or damage as the set is manufactured utilizing the Thermopoint technology, which guarantees precise temperature control. Furthermore, they come with granitium non-stick coating, reinforced with revolutionary speckles and ceramic particles.
If you’ve gone through the Ballarini Bologna Granitium review, you’ll be aware of this set’s exceptional scratch-resistance for all types of utensils. In fact, the PFOA-free non-stick coating also ensures quick release of food for easy cleanup and superior browning without the need of extra oil.
Pros:
- Each pan comes with a lid
- Scratch-resistance for all types of utensils
- Thermopoint technology ensures precise temperature control
- Cold-forged aluminum construction
- PFOA-free non-stick coating
Cons:
- Not dishwasher-safe
Parma Forged Aluminum Fry Pan Set
This is a 2-piece fry pan set from Ballarini that’s priced at $69.95, while the 3-piece variant will cost you around $114.95. The pans come in two sizes – 10’’ and 12’’ – ideal for everyday cooking. Furthermore, they are made using the purest form of aluminum available in the industry, which allows the cold-forged body to heat up rapidly and evenly without any hot spots.
And with aluminum being incredibly light, you can rest assured that there won’t be any hand strain. The brand has also provided ergonomic, stay-cool handles that will always remain cool. Plus, you get a comfortable grip for maximum control, so there’s no need to worry about accidents and burns (provided you’re not clumsy).
But what impressed us the most is the Thermopoint technology that turns the heat-sensitive handle red when hot and green when cold. This helps you know when the temperature is just right for cooking, eliminating cause for over or undercooking.
Pros:
- Fork-proof, scratch-resistant, metal utensil-safe
- Ergonomic, stay-cool handles
- Granitium non-stick coating
- Easy-to-clean surface
- Eliminates arm strain
Cons:
- Doesn’t include lids
Parma Non-Stick Grill Pan
We’ll now be reviewing this 11-inch non-stick grill pan from Ballarini’s Parma collection. It comes with a cold-forged aluminum body that ensures uniform distribution of heat across the surface.
But what makes it more appealing to look at is its ultra-durable coating, with revolutionary speckles and ceramic particles, that make it fork-safe, scratch-resistant, and metal-safe. So, the $59.99 you spend on buying this pan definitely proves to be a long-term investment.
Moreover, the PFOA-free, non-stick coating facilitates quick release of food, allowing health-conscious cooks to prepare their favorite grilled chicken with less oil. You can also monitor the temperature to avoid over or undercooking and protect the pan from getting damaged.
What’s more, its ergonomic handle is designed to ensure a comfortable and secure grip at all times. It doesn’t heat up, preventing unwanted burns and injuries.
Pros:
- Scratch-resistant for all utensil types
- Precise temperature control
- Ultra-durable and non-stick coating
- Efficient and uniform heat distribution
Cons:
- Not induction-safe
