Fontignac tableware: customer reviews

Fontignac is positioned as a French brand of cookware. Cast iron products with this brand began to be produced and sold since the beginning of the last century. At the beginning of the XXI century. The company merged into ZWILLING JA HENCKELS Group. So now it can be considered German. Are the dishes sold in our stores under the "Fontignac" brand related to ZWILLING JA HENCKELS Group and is its quality consistent with the declared manufacturer? Which collects Fontignac (tableware) reviews?

Assortment of the company "Fontignac"

The company produces cast-iron and ceramic dishes, molds for baking, baking and cakes, kitchen knives.

A set of ceramic dishes includes 7 items. They are painted in two colors and decorated with an embossed lily. These are pots for roasting, an oval shape for baking (diameter - 26 cm) and rectangular (length - 26 and 32 cm). There is a shape for cakes with a diameter of 28 cm, pans with lids 10 cm in diameter and larger, with a volume of 2 liters.

Enameled ware is solid, has a beautiful appearance. It is durable and reliable.

Sellers and manufacturers

Sold for the action in many supermarkets Fontignac (tableware). "Lenta" (reviews say so) offers to receive it in exchange for stickers that are received for goods purchased there. Under the same conditions, it can be purchased at Silpo, Metro.

However, many buyers say that the dishes are produced not in Germany, where the office of ZWILLING JA HENCKELS Group is located, but in China. The company BrandLoyalti is engaged in sales. There is also the opinion that the manufacturer with such a name does not exist at all, and the company was created specifically to sell the dishes of the Chinese manufacturer by the action.

But often it happens that the products that are in advertising, there are no shops in the city. Sometimes from the whole range of cast-iron pots you can find only one, the smallest.

Reviews about the products of "Fontignac" are quite contradictory.

Reviews of cast iron pans

Positive reviews collect cast-iron pots "Fontignac" with enamel coating. The volume of 6 liters, 3.6 liters and 2 liters. Outside, they are blue, with a gradient, inside are snow-white or graphite. These pots can be put on an open fire, that is, on a gas stove. You can cook on an electric, induction cooker, put in an oven of any type, in a microwave oven. Washes in the dishwasher dishes Fontignac.

Consumer testimonials indicate that cast iron products are convenient for cooking foods and dishes that burn in ordinary cookware. They can be cooked with a little fat. Moisture is collected at the bottom of a tightly closed lid. On its surface there are special wavy lines. Moisture escapes them back to the dish, making it soft and juicy. These people like the dishes Fontignac. Reviews of pots are praised. They say that neither meat, nor fat in them do not burn, the bottom does not darken.

Consumers like the shape of the pan. Its walls expand upward. It is wide, like a tall saucepan. The manufacturer took care of quality packaging. The lid and the pan are wrapped in polyethylene separately, which prevents the formation of cracks and chips on the surface during transport.

The disadvantage is that consumers do not have a rim on the lid, over which the condensate escapes. Therefore, it flows directly to the plate. Some buyers consider the weight of the pot redundant. It's hard to wash. Scary to throw on the sink or table. But cast iron is a heavy material. It is he who provides quality cooking. Therefore, you need to choose between light dishes that burn, and heavy cast iron.

The pan handle is plastic, so not everyone risks putting it in the oven. But the existing screw allows you to unscrew the plastic part.

Fontignac - stainless steel tableware

User feedback on the stainless steel "Fontignac" dishes indicate that it is made in accordance with GOST 27002-86 from steel AISI 304. The covers are made of tempered glass. On each subject a serial number is stamped out. The dishes are heavy, slightly lighter than cast iron. It is pleasant to consumers, that handles are fastened to the body by spot welding. This connection they consider reliable. The shape of the pan is cylindrical.

The cover is glass, with an engraved brand. Through it you can clearly see everything that happens inside the pan. The disadvantage is that during cooking the pots of the Fontignac pot are heated very hot. Steel tableware reviews collects positive.

Some users have glass caps. Others crack ceramic pots, and the lids remain. Consumers exchange the remnants of dishes, mainly sell extra covers.

Reviews of the dishes "Vok"

I like the users of Fontignac dishes "Vok". Reviews say that cooking in this bowl is very fast. For 7 minutes the dish is ready. Of course, you need to chop the meat, constantly stir it, turning on a strong fire. I like that the oil goes very little. At first, confusing users is that after cooking vegetables do not change their color. They think that they remained raw.

Like the fact that the pan-wok can be used as a steamer and deep fryer. Therefore, it is considered a universal dish for the kitchen. Heat uniformly diverges on the walls of the dishes, unlike conventional frying pans.

Use wok for cooking pilaf, rice with vegetables, meat dishes, roast. Utensils are indispensable for cooking Chinese cuisine. Delicious noodles are produced in a Fleet manner.

Reviews about ceramic dishes "Fontignac" positive

The main debate is about 2-liter ceramic pans. Many users like to cook in them. They are satisfied with the quality of dishes and food cooked in it.

They for several years use ceramic pottery "Fontignac", comply with the instructions for its use.

Negative feedback

Many buyers complain that they were sold the product as cast-iron dishes. And only at home they begin to read the instructions and understand what they bought.

To understand yourself is quite difficult. After all, the "Fontignac" utensils, made of cast iron, are covered with enamel, looking like a ceramic coating.

The problem is that ceramic dishes can not be used on an open fire, put on the wheels of electro- and induction cookers. You can cook in them only in the oven or microwave, at temperatures up to 220 degrees. In this case, it is not recommended to place cold dishes in a hot oven. From this she cracks.

The dishes can be placed in the refrigerator, then transferred to a microwave or a cold oven. You can also put on the table. Here it retains its integrity. Fontignac utensils dissolve only from the effects of high temperatures.

Feedback from many users suggests that their ceramic pots burst into several parts with the most careful handling. They disintegrate even inside an electric or gas oven. And we can not talk about electric stoves. Some buyers believe that they can cook on the divider Fontignac utensils. The reviews say that this does not help save it. Especially afraid of utensils of splashing moisture on the base of the plate near the bottom. If the food accidentally "escaped" from the pan and a few drops hit the heating element, the dishes instantly burst. Ceramic baking sheets and baking molds burst just as quickly and unexpectedly.

For preparation in such utensils it is impossible to use metal spoons and ladles.

Advertising says that it's a heat-resistant dish that is suitable for different types of plates. Buyers conclude that it is a question of cast-iron dishes, and on flyers the material "ceramics" is indicated. It is not known at what level a misunderstanding occurs, but many users consider themselves deceived. They also express the opinion that Fontignac ceramic ware is of poor quality.

Reviews of the knives

Many customers like the design of all-metal knives brand Fontignac. Although the official website of the manufacturer of them do not mention a single word. But within the limits of the action in the specified shops they can be bought. There is information on the site fontignaccollection. Knives are made of carbon steel 420j2. In a month they become blunt. Steel, from which the knives are made, is soft, so it keeps the sharpening bad. Therefore, buyers regret that they bought a knife for 700 rubles. At a discount, while knives of famous brands without a discount can be bought from 300 rubles.

conclusions

Users believe that it makes sense to buy "Fontignac" dishes only if you regularly buy products and other goods in this supermarket. Then you just collect the stickers received during the purchase, and at the right time, change them to the dishes.

To buy up the unnecessary goods only in order to get the stickers and exchange them is unprofitable and does not make sense.
