Thanks to its rustic speckled surface, cooking with the Ballarini Positano Granitium Frying Pan feels a bit like cooking with stone (giving you a chance to get in touch with your inner ancient chef). Although it's not actually made of stone — in fact, its aluminum base makes it extra lightweight — the pan does have a non-stick Granitium coating that's reinforced with mineral particles, helping to make it durable and resistant to scratches. The pan is wonderful for browning, plus its non-stick coating gives you the option of cooking without the use of oil or butter for healthier meals.
The Ballarini Positano also has a smart thermopoint on its handle that turns red when the pan is hot and green when it’s cool. This means you’ll know when the pan is ready for cooking (which reduces energy use by eliminating overheating), as well as when it’s cooled down enough to safely clean when you’re finished.
