Woll Saucepans - Are they the best?
After buying dozens of non stick Teflon coated pans from companies
like Tefal I got fed up with having to replace them after 3-4 years
as the Teflon wore out. I even bought the best Tefal pans from John
Lewis with a "lifetime guarantee" but even they got fed up with replacing
them eventually.
Then I saw the German made Woll pans at at the Ideal home show and
was impressed with their durability. They looked like the ones that
are used by James Martian on Saturday kitchen so I guessed they must
be good.
At the show a gobby scouser attacked one
with a knife and bragged how tough and durable they are. (He was
alarmingly good with the knife) He also said that they are so
slippery that you can cook without oil and nothing will stain them. Suitably
impressed I bought 3 for £160 and thought my saucepan woes were
over.
Within 2 months one developed
rusty bobbles and had to be replaced. Also they do stain and even
when I followed their advice of soaking overnight in biological
washing powder the stains remained.
At the grand Designs show I found another gobby geezer selling Woll
pans, using the same patter. In front of the adoring crowd I
asked why my pans are stained and wont clean. My new best friend,
(not) asked if I had used Olive Oil in them.
Silly me! I only followed Jamie Oliver's advice and the
thousands of years of tradition in the Mediterranean and used Olive
Oil in my saucepan.
Morale of the story, don't listen to Goggy Scousers!
Revive Miracle cleaner - does it work?
Whilst visiting the Good Food Show I was drawn to a demonstration by
a gobby geezer of revive miracle cleaner.
Mr Gobby demonstrated it
cleaning black carbon off an old cooker using a mere feather touch so I
duly bought some, and left the show immediately to clean the carbon
off my Woll frying pan.
Call me stupid but after 20 minutes rubbing and no result I gave up!
What did I do wrong? answers on a postcard please.
So are Woll pans the best and worth the megabucks? and why was my
Revive so useless?
Let me know what you think so I can share it with my readers.
I have spent 15 years testing and reviewing gardening and DIY tools, so now I
will use the same skills to test kitchen tools.
