Granite Dream Non-Stick Frying Pan
A Frying Pan That Failed to Deliver
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently upgraded my frying pan game with the Dream Granite 28 cm Frying Pan with Lid and Non-Stick Coating, Black, but it's been a major disappointment. Despite its solid build quality, the non-stick coating failed to deliver, and I've had to deal with a lot of food sticking to the pan. The large diameter is great for cooking for my family of four, but the pan's durability is a major letdown. I've had my fair share of frying pans, and this one is definitely not worth the hype. With proper care, it might last a bit longer, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Is the Dream Granite Frying Pan suitable for electric stoves?
While it's not a total disaster on electric stoves, I've heard that gas stoves are generally easier on pans. Still, it's not a deal-breaker, but you might need to be more gentle when cleaning and maintaining it.
How do I take care of the non-stick coating?
To be honest, it's a bit of a pain. You need to avoid using metal utensils, high heat, and abrasive cleaners. It's a lot of work to keep it looking new, but it's worth it if you want to extend its lifespan.
Can I use metal utensils with the Dream Granite Frying Pan?
No, I'd strongly advise against it. The non-stick coating is super sensitive, and metal utensils will scratch it within no time. Stick to silicone or wooden utensils for the best results.
Is the pan dishwasher safe?
I wouldn't risk it, to be honest. The non-stick coating is delicate, and the high heat and harsh detergents in the dishwasher might damage it. Hand washing is the way to go.
Can I use the Dream Granite Frying Pan on induction stoves?
Unfortunately, no. The pan's metal bottom is not compatible with induction stoves. You'll need to stick to gas or electric stoves for this one.
How long does the non-stick coating last?
Honestly, it's not as long as I expected. After less than a year, the coating started peeling off, and I had to replace the pan. It's just not worth the hassle and money.
Is the Dream Granite Frying Pan a good value for money?
Definitely not. Considering the poor performance and short lifespan, I'd say it's a total waste of money. You're better off spending your cash on a more reliable pan.
Can I return or exchange the Dream Granite Frying Pan?
I'm not sure, to be honest. I didn't bother trying to return or exchange it, but I'd imagine it's a hassle. If you're not satisfied, I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer or retailer for more information.
