QUARZIT is a ceramic sol-gel non-stick coating with a textured, matt and slightly rough surface. It combines non-stick convenience with deliberately visible searing results and a robust, high-quality look and feel.
Pans with QUARZIT coating are a good choice for anyone who wants a visibly textured surface, defined searing performance and convenient everyday handling.
COOK like a PRO
Long lasting NON-STICK EFFECT
"Cook like a Pro" means that you can enjoy cooking, because you get the best out of your pan.
The coating keeps its performance even when used in the most intensive way. This is guaranteed by our special formulation, which can withstand even the highest mechanical loads.
Proof of this provided by various test methods customary in the industry such as the LGA and milk test or various abrasion tests.
TOUGH and DURABLE
High RESISTANCE
"Tough and Durable" means for you that you can really "work harder" in your pan without destroying the coating.
Thanks to its special composition, the coating achieves a degree of hardness that even a Scotch-Brite or the vigorous scraping of a pan turner (no metal) cannot easily damage. A professional product for your home!
Proof of its good performance is provided by various industry-standard test methods - e.g. the LGA full test or the British Standard Abrasion test.
SMART and EASY
Simple EASY to use
"Smart and Easy" promises maximum cooking convenience, even for "everyday" pots and pans.
Even only with little added of fat or oil, the food does not stick. These coatings are also easy to clean. The good non-stick and abrasion properties as well as the very good corrosion resistance, which also allows them to be washed in the dishwasher, are confirmed by industry-standard tests.
Our goal at ILAG is to make consumers' lives a little easier and "smarter" during these hectic times.
HEALTHY COOKING
LIGHT and LOW in calories
For us, "Healthy cooking" also means cooking healthy and low in calories.
This is not a problem with our non-stick coatings, as our products only require a small amount of oil, fat or butter.
FAQ
QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
You have the questions - we have the answers.
On our FAQ page you will find interesting facts about our coatings as well as useful tips on using and caring for the products.
Food Contact & Safety
TESTED and SAFE
This ILAG coating is intended for contact with food, has been carefully tested and meets the applicable requirements. When used as intended, you can use your product safely. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and care.
Overheating can lead to discoloration and destroy the ceramic non-stick layer.
All coatings are sensitive to scratches and cuts. Small scratches are visible, but do not impair the properties.
Nevertheless, we do not recommend the use of metal cutlery and other sharp objects in cookware. Instead, the use of plastic or wooden utensils is recommended.
The use of small amounts of fats and oils significantly increases durability.
Ceramic coatings heat up very quickly, so never leave them unattended on the stove.
Ceramic coating systems are exceptionally temperature-resistant and heat-stable (up to 400 °C). Nevertheless, the usage temperature of 250 °C should not be exceeded, also to avoid destroying the food and its nutrients.
Overheating can burn food and leave black deposits on the coating. This can also damage the ceramic coating.
Before using for the first time, remove packaging, labels and all stickers and clean the item with liquid detergent and hot water. Boil new pans 2-3 times with water to remove any production residues and impurities. When using for the first time, rub the inside of the pan with a little cooking oil. This process should be repeated from time to time.
Never leave cookware unattended or empty on the hob and never leave it on the hot hob for longer than necessary.
Never heat the pan without food and above 250 °C. This can be prevented by using a little oil as a heat indicator, as oil above this temperature starts to produce smoke.
For frying, we recommend a medium temperature setting and the use of wooden or plastic utensils to avoid damaging the coating.
After use, clean the pan with hot water, a mild washing-up liquid and a sponge cloth or the fine side of a dishwashing sponge. A soft dishwashing brush can also be used for cleaning. Always wipe the pan dry before storing it.
Stubborn food residues should never be cleaned with a metal sponge or the sharp side of a dishwashing sponge. Instead, soak the product in warm soapy water and then carefully clean the surface. Poorly cleaned items significantly reduce the non-stick effect and destroy the coating.
The product can be cleaned in the dishwasher, although this is not recommended due to the aggressive cleaning agents. Cleaning by hand is preferable.
Have you bought a frying pan, a baking pan or another product and found an ILAG logo on the packaging? Then congratulations! You have chosen a product with an excellent non-stick coating. But: ILAG is NOT the manufacturer of the product, but only responsible for the non-stick coating. If you have any complaints or general questions, please contact the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
