KAVALKAD Frying pan, black, 28 cm

After iron, aluminium is the world's most used metal and has a very wide range of uses. It’s easy to shape and lightweight, but is still strong and durable. In our range we use it for things like kitchen utensils, curtain rods and tealight cups. A big advantage with aluminium is that it can be recycled again and again without losing its quality. Recycling consumes only a fraction of the energy required to produce aluminium from new raw materials.

If you look closely at the bottom of a pan you'll see that it's slightly concave. That's normal. When heated the bottom expands and flattens outs. This is why you should allow pans to cool down slowly before you wash them. If they cool too quickly, there's a risk that the bottom will not have time to return to its neutral, concave position and may even warp the next time it's heated.
