Woll Nowo Titanium flat pan, diameter 28 cm, 5 cm high, with removable handle - suitable for ceramic, gas, electric, halogen - not suitable for induction, cast aluminium, non-stick coating

20 years ago when we moved to a house with an AGA, I bought a large Woll frying pan. It was expensive even then but still going strong with a flat base and superb nonstick finish. However unable to justify the cost we have never invested in any more Woll products. Consequently we had several small and cheap frying pans but its never long before they either dome or dish, leaving food without contact to the heat. I finally relented and invested in a small Woll frying pan. Getting it out of the box its immediately apparent there has been no degradation in quality in the intervening years that's for sure. Just as sturdy and with the removable handle, handy for popping in the roasting oven of the AGA or putting under the grill of a conventional cooker. Two items of note though, whilst it's 20cm at the top, its quite a bit smaller at the base and not big enough for a fry up, even for one. Secondly the detachable handle is different from the fitting on our original Woll (which is a bit of a shame but that's progress i suppose) but its no less precise in the way it gives a solid (and reassuring) click when being attached. I was in my 30's when the first Woll was purchased and I reckon it will see me out. These really are a one time purchase and whilst they are initially expensive, given the lifespan, they are probably the cheapest kitchen pans you will ever buy.

This is quite a pricey frying pan, and that and the good reviews I had read persuaded me to part with the money. It is by far the best frying pan we have ever had. It is quite heavy but that ensures an even heat distribution. The non-stick surface is indestructible (as far as I can see) - I don't like using metal tools on non stick surfaces but it does happend from time to time and thie surface on this pan has not taken the least mark from them. Very nice touch is the detachable handle so the pan can be used in the oven (combine it with the glass lid and you have an effective casserole dish) The detachable handle also makes it much easier to put into the dishwasher. No hesitation in recommending this pan - when I consider the number of nasty Teflon pans we have bought and ruined over the years this pan becomes exceptional value and it's a joy to use.

Having purchased this pan on 10 Nov 21 as a Christmans present and used it from the New Year onwards we found that the non stick coating has started to degrade per the photo. The Amazon returns deadline was passed in January. I contacted the maker in Germnay, Woll, whose guarantee came with the product, for a replacement and they replied as follows: " In the event of a complaint, you must contact the seller himself. Unfortunately we cannot process any complaints from England. Beste Grüße aus dem Saarland". So looking now at the order in my Amazon account, and the invoice I cannot see who to contact in the UK, other than by hard copy mail to Amazon EU Sarl at a postcode in London EC2A 2FA.GB. I assume they will refer us back to Woll in Germany.

Great frying pan, looks and feels like good quality. Like the fact that the handle detaches. One needs to give it a few minutes to warm up, but once it is warm, it works like a charm. Yes, it is heavy but I like the substantial feel of it. And it is super easy to clean. Also, it is truly non-stick. I know the instructions mention that it is dishwasher safe, but so far I have hand washed it as it is so easy to clean. Definitely worth the price. Very pleased I bought it!

I’ve owned 2 Woll Nowo larger fry/sauté pans In last 8 years so I know what to expect with this 8” one. They are reassuringly weighty, cook evenly as do not warp and removable handle means they are oven safe. However, I was disappointed that my original pan had to be replaced after 4 years due to ‘bubbles’ on the nonstick surface and everything sticking despite the lifetime guarantee widely advertised. On reading the small print in my latest guarantee it seems pan body has long guarantee but the non-stick surface only guaranteed for 2 years! Hmmm ....... At £65 (pan plus lid) for an 8” frypan it is expensive! They do cook beautifully with little or no oil so I would still recommend them.

The first Woll frying pan that I bought lasted me nearly 20 years of fairly heavy use, and was only replaced thro' my own neglect when the base was stored for a long time in damp conditions. I had no hesitation in replacing with the same brand. I now have 2, the 24 cm & larger frypan. The well made detachable handles are great, both for storage & grilling or oven use, and fix securely and easily. I really cannot fault them, excellent cooking, easy to clean, weighty enough without needing hefty muscle power to move around & lift. They are the most versatile & often used pans in my kitchen. Worth the price tag for their life expectancy. This pan was delivered in quick time & after shopping around, was great value for money.

The Quality. ...only used it today but it’s quality is unmistakable. It is sturdy and ‘very’ non-stick. Needs only a wipe with a lightly- soaped cloth to come up pristine. Bought it ‘Used in ‘New’ condition. Arrived in an Amazon box. ...that was as far as the used state got. The ‘used’ pan was a new pan in the original bag. I shall be looking closely for ‘used like new’ items on Amazon in future.Used it for realm in the oven today to make a party Tortilla. Fantastic. Performed brilliantl

These pans are great when new. However, after about 2 years use (1-2 times per week at most) and following Woll's care instructions to the letter, I no longer feel safe using them. The coating is coming away from the inside of the pans. For the price, they are not worth it. I wouldn't buy one of these again. My old set of non-Woll frying pans are several years old and considerably better (as new condition) but aren't compatible with an induction hob. They get used on the bbq side burner these days and are still much better than Woll's. 'Vorsprung durch Technik'? I don't think so.
