(Spoiler: I’m in love with my new kitchen babies!)
If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know how much I love spending time in the kitchen. Cooking for my family is one of my love languages, so I get super excited whenever I have new kitchen tools to try. Recently, I got my hands on some gorgeous cookware from PanAve PH, and let me tell you — it’s a game-changer!
First Impressions:
As soon as I unboxed my PanAve PH Cookware, I could already tell that these were not your average wok and pans. Ang ganda! Ang sarap paglutuan, promise! What really caught my attention was how solid yet lightweight they felt — and when I started using them, I realized that they’re also incredibly easy to clean. (Less time scrubbing, more time eating. Win-win!)
The magic?
Both pieces are coated with high quality ILAG GRANITEC Non-Stick Coating — developed by ILAG, a Swiss company that’s basically the gold standard for non-stick technology. It’s known for being super durable, scratch-resistant, and of course, for its excellent non-stick performance. (Walang dumikit kahit konti!)
Here’s what I have:
- 30cm Non-Stick Die Cast Aluminum Wok with Lid (₱1,980)
- 26cm Non-Stick Die Cast Aluminum Frying Pan with Lid (₱1,700)
Why I’m Obsessed with PanAve’s Die-Cast Cookware:
💛 Excellent Heat Distribution
No more luto-sa-labas-hilaw-sa-loob problems! These pans heat up quickly and evenly, which means no random hot spots while cooking.
💛 Durable and Long-Lasting
They’re made with die-cast aluminum — stronger than your usual aluminum pans — so they’re resistant to warping, cracking, and other kitchen accidents (like accidentally dropping them, hehe).
💛 Lightweight and Easy to Handle
They have the sturdiness of cast iron but without the heaviness! Perfect for someone like me who’s always juggling multiple dishes at once.
💛 Naturally Non-Stick
Even without the special ILAG coating, die-cast aluminum already has a smoother surface — but with ILAG, food just slides right off.
💛 Energy Efficient
Because they heat up faster and retain heat better, you actually use less gas or electricity. Plus, food cooks faster — which is a blessing when you’re trying to whip up dinner on a busy weekday.
💛 Rust and Corrosion Resistant
Unlike cast iron that needs special TLC (like seasoning and drying completely), these are low-maintenance and don’t rust.
💛 Versatile and Compatible
It works on all stove types — gas, electric, ceramic, infrared — you name it!
Bonus Features I Appreciate:
- Silicone-edged Lid Handle – No more accidentally burning your fingers while checking on your food!
- Tempered Glass Lid – So I can see my cooking without letting heat escape (essential for dishes like stews and soups).
- Modern, Clean Design – They look super sleek on my stovetop and even when served straight to the table.
What I Cooked First 🍴
Of course, I had to break them in with two of my family’s favorites:
✨ Pork Bistek — the wok made it so easy to sear the pork and caramelize the onions without worrying about sticking. Plus, the even heat made the sauce thicken beautifully.
✨ Lumpiang Hubad — sautéing all those vegetables was a breeze! Walang tutong kahit na sobrang dali mag-overcook ng cabbage at carrots.
And cleaning afterward? Super easy. Wipe, wash, dry, and they look good as new!
Final Thoughts:
If you’re looking to upgrade your cookware or maybe start building your dream kitchen, I highly recommend checking out PanAve PH. The price points are reasonable considering the quality you’re getting, and honestly, I see these pieces lasting me for years!
Happy cooking, friends!
