Rondell cookware: an overview of models, advantages and disadvantages

The history of the Rondell brand is already overgrown with legends. The famous brand from Germany positions its products as a symbiosis of the latest technologies and noble traditions. The dishes of the German manufacturer are created for haute cuisine, and they have not given up their positions for many years.

Each company that has achieved global recognition or is going towards it clearly defines the brand values. After all, this is the foundation and competitive advantage of the company. Rondell believes that the basis of their products can be called perfect aesthetics, creativity, nobility and professionalism of execution.

The country of origin itself is to some extent a guarantor that the meticulousness of the production process allows the buyer not to doubt the quality. And all the values ​​declared by the brand are not accidental.

Creativity, according to the manufacturer, is a product that comes as a bonus to the dishes. She inspires the consumer to original recipes and a pleasant process of creation in the kitchen. Nobility can be interpreted as responsibility to the buyer. And also as the fact that the company is actively involved in various charitable projects. Well, professionalism is expressed in the use of new technologies, the "latest" scientific achievements, as well as in a clearly structured quality control.

Why can Rondell cookware be trusted? Consider the main milestones in the history of the brand.

• In the Middle Ages, knights from all over Europe flocked to Germany, they wanted to personally enjoy the products of the weapons workshops of Lower Saxony, see and purchase the famous daggers - light but reliable. In battle, Rondell's daggers were irreplaceable.
• In 1988, the famous restaurateur G.Schmidt bought out the plant and made a reconstruction on it. It was originally a humble metalware factory in Salzgitter. Modest in comparison with what he began to represent under the leadership of Schmidt - the new owner did everything so that the factory began to produce dishes using unique technologies. Schmidt registered the Rondell trademark. He decided that the knightly martial traditions would henceforth continue in a peaceful direction - the production of tableware.
• 1989 - the company launches a line of cookware for professional chefs, in 1991, aluminum products appeared, in 2006 the production of tableware for the home began, and in 2007 the company expanded its market, and the tableware began to be sold in Russia and the CIS countries.

Almost 10 years ago, the National Chefs Guild confirmed that Rondell products meet high quality standards... The awards keep on coming as the brand has partnered with the best European chefs and culinary schools. Since 2014, the company began to produce cast iron cookware: two-color cast iron became an exclusive offer of the German manufacturer.

And now, from the official information presented by marketers and PR-managers of the brand, let's move on to other facts. Despite a strong association with German manufacturing, the second participant in the manufacturing process is Cyprus. From somewhere, information emerges that the dishes are actually made in China, albeit using German technology. But the very fact that production can be partially located in China is not so bad: the myth about the poor quality of Chinese goods has long and reasonably been dispelled.

Therefore, whatever information you read, follow the certification and regularity of product participation in competitions.

Many factors can be noted among the strengths of the brand.

• Gift wrap. Not the main plus, but not the most episodic either. If you decide to donate dishes, then the packaging is important - it creates an impression and says something about the manufacturer. Rondell doesn't skimp on the little things.
• Professional recommendations... Conspiracy theorists will, of course, say that all recommendations are buyable. But such a discussion is doomed to failure. Read the official guidelines - they are eloquent.
• Design solutions. These are definitely the strong points of the brand, since the dishes of this brand really look weighty in any kitchen. She is solid, graceful and self-sufficient.
• Technology comes first. If you are not keeping up with the times, then you are backing away. It seems that such a slogan is used by the creators of German tableware: safe materials and the most advanced technologies are what Rondell definitely invests in its products.
• Marketing support... The company does not skimp on investing in promotions and various introductory events where the dishes can be seen in action. And this is very convenient.

Innovation for the German brand is “the main seasoning in the dish”. For example, TriPly technology helps food to simmer in pots and pans, which is similar to the simmering of a dish in a Russian oven. Cookware creators are diligently developing new non-stick coatings that would work more perfectly than the existing ones and would increase their environmental friendliness.

Many buyers already know what the company is using very high quality stainless steel, safe and hygienic... Rondell also boasts a proprietary triple stamped-fused-bottom technology that guarantees fast and uniform heating.

Red dishes are not suitable for everyone, but those who want to live tasty, juicy, rich, who appreciate the brightness of life even in small things, will clearly love the pots and pans from this collection. If something goes wrong, buy a red thing, find a place for it in your house, and it will start "working".

And these are not all of Rondell's collections. The brand offers products with the understanding that the most discerning customer will find fault with the little things and look for "the very option." With a high probability, he will find it in the wide range of Rondell.

The choice is sometimes painful, nevertheless, dishes today are far from a penny pleasure, I don't want to lose it. Perhaps the following tips will help you.

Let's consider how to choose the utensils for cooking.

• If the dishes are very light, and the manufacturer writes that it is possible to stew, and cook, and fry, and languish in it, his words cause great doubt. Of course, cookware should not always be associated with a kettlebell, but very light pans and pans usually have a very short lifespan, at least those that claim to be multifunctional.
• If you are looking for the perfect cookware for soups and stews, Use low but wide pots with transparent heat-resistant lids.
• Pay attention to the material the handles are made of.... Silicone must be of high quality, heat resistant.
• If you see a bump at the bottom of the dish or any other unevenness, go to other models - this is an obvious marriage.
• By purchasing a stainless steel pan, study the markings well. It is written in the chromium / nickel ratio. 18/10 is the best combination, because the more chrome in the composition, the better the quality.
• The lid should fit snugly against the rim of the pan, do not move or slip.

Finally, the dishes must fit the stove... If the stove is electric, with a glass-ceramic surface, then pots made of "rough" material cannot be used. This means that cast iron will not work. But for induction panels you need dishes with magnetic properties, so the pan or pan must be metal. Glass pans should not be used for gas stoves.

Think about where the dishes will be stored in the kitchen. For a miniature kitchen, you need a compact set, for a small stove - not very large pots and pans.

Buyers say that Rondell tableware purchases are in most cases successful. Very often a person goes to buy a saucepan, but buys a whole set - promotions and great offers contribute to this. On some forums, you can find messages from those consumers who have encountered a fake. To prevent this from happening, always ask for a quality certificate, keep receipts and carefully inspect the purchase at home before cooking in new dishes.

Rondell is a brand that has a clear specialization. She is only interested in kitchen utensils and accessories, therefore, in attracting new customers, the market, technologies, and design requests are studied in detail.
