Review – Can a stylish non-stick pan fit in the kitchen? My friends, Zavor Noir cookware looks great. But don’t believe me. Let’s go cook something and see. To review!
What is it?
Zavor Noir cookware is a non-stick cast aluminum cookware set with a removable handle that can be switched to different colors, a ceramic/titanium hybrid non-stick surface, and compatibility with all cooktops including induction cookers.
What’s in the box?
The complete Zavor Noir cookware range offers Dutch ovens, woks, pans, bakeware and matching lids. I am testing a 10-inch and 12-inch frying pan with a black handle (there are 6 different handle colors to choose from).
Hardware specifications
- Lightweight cast aluminum structure
- Whitford Fusion Ti coating (ceramic/titanium alloy), free of BPA, PFOA and PTFE
- Compatible with all cooktops, including induction compatible base
- 7″ handle with silicone handle
- The pan can be used in the dishwasher and the oven, can be used at 550 degrees, the handle has been removed
Design and features
There is no doubt that the Zavor Noir frying pan looks sharp, as you can see in the comment picture. This is what they look like out of the box. I turned the 10-inch pan over so you can see the bottom.
Look at that gorgeous non-stick surface! These pans are coated with an exquisite ceramic/titanium hybrid coating, which has better performance and durability than other ceramic surfaces. It also does not contain BPA, PFOA and PTFE. And so shiny. Look!
The bottom of the Zavor Noir cookware pan has a metal surface, which is compatible with all cooktops, including induction cookers. I have a non-stick pan that I used in the previous review and it scratched the top of my glass. There won’t be these here. It has a nice smooth surface, making it safe on all these surfaces.
Your handle is detachable and available in 6 different colors. The handle is wrapped in silicone, which can well protect your hands from high temperatures. They also have holes in their end caps, so you can hang them on hooks as needed.
The end cap has another purpose. See the little bit of metal protruding from the end of the handle? When you twist the end cap, the piece of T-shaped metal will extend or retract into the handle. It mates with the slot at the bottom of the pan:
You will release the handle and the metal drill will slide into the groove on the pot…
…And then you will twist the lid to lock it in place. When locked, this makes it a rock-solid mount.
The detachable handle allows you to store the pan in a smaller kitchen space. Take a look at the comparison below. On the left, I have my 12-inch non-stick pan and carbon steel pan. On the right are my two new Zavor Noir projects.
See the difference? There is more room to put things! My pots and pans have large drawers, but if you have smaller cabinets in your kitchen, those detachable handles will be a huge advantage.
Performance
If we want to test non-stick pans, the first thing I like to do is eggs. Eggs will quickly form or destroy non-stick surfaces. I use fried vegetables and cheese to make two omelets (like one) at a time.
I start with sautéing vegetables. Thick pot walls may not add much weight, but after a short preheating, they will form a strong insulation effect.
As with any non-stick product, Zavor recommends using wood or plastic tools. I use a rubber spatula here.
The vegetables just slide along that surface, forming a nice little burnt. I took them out and threw away the eggs, there was no extra oil.
This is the egg in the second pot. I like to stir the surface a little and rotate it to cook evenly on the eggs. See if nothing sticks to the surface!
Next, I put down the filling and covered the pot for a while. Please note that the lid you see is not included with my kit.
Then we plate. This is a 10-inch pan. The eggs slide out directly. I have a little residue on the side of the pan, but I think it’s because I ate too heavy cheese.
The larger omelet also popped perfectly. Did not insist on being the first chef. touching.
Next we are going to make shrimp. I started to fry some minced garlic quickly.
Now I want to add some seasoned raw shrimp for quick cooking. These pans are very light. Combine it with the excellent grip on the handle to flip/manipulate the pan with ease. The action screenshot is as follows.
Finally, it is finished with a gentle fire and some herbs. The perfect performance of the pan under medium heat.
The following test was performed on tilapia with blackening seasoning. Only a few drops of oil and medium high temperature are required. Not sticky at all. This fancy ceramic hybrid coating is the real deal.
Zavor said that if you remove the handle, these pans can be dishwasher-washed and oven-washed at 550 degrees Fahrenheit. I am not sure if I am satisfied with these two options. I always wash my pans by hand, and I have other pans for applications that require grilling or baking (such as cast iron and carbon steel).
You also need to check their website (link below) to learn about the different colored handles. There are 6 choices, including walnut yellow, mint green, purple, red and 2 different colors of blue to match your kitchen atmosphere. These are purchased additionally from the set, so you will end up with the color and black handle of your choice. This seems a bit wasteful to me, but it does provide you with the option to change things.
what do I like
- Light weight, with strong grip handle, easy to operate
- Detachable handle makes storage easier
- Good insulation
- The non-stick surface is very good
Areas for improvement
- Colored handles are purchased separately, so if you buy them, you will also use the original black handles
Final thoughts
Many beautiful non-stick pans cannot be used often in the kitchen; in past reviews, I may have killed one or two pans. So far, these Zavor Noir cookware pans appear to be durable and legal in my tests. They are a bit more expensive than basic nonstick pans, but two solid wok pans for $100 are a good price for me.if you
Please note that I have not tested the other works in the series, so I cannot talk about the performance of these works.
Price: The 10-inch and 12-inch frying pan set reviewed here is $99.95. Other prices range from bakeware for $59.95 to a 7-piece set for $229.95. The starting price of a single colored handle is $14.95.
