Korean ceramic dishes today are widely distributed in the Russian market, so stores with such products are not difficult to find in any big city. And this is understandable: the quality of famous brands, a guarantee, a wide range of products - all this creates a positive impression on the buyer and only “sets fire” to the interest of a person looking for a set of kitchen utensils for his home.
As a rule, such products are easy to notice thanks to the bright logos and interesting description. The most common products of Korean manufacturers, manufactured in Central Asia. Among the companies supplying their goods to the Russian market is the well-known company Fissman. Consider some of the features of this company, as well as get acquainted with all the pros and cons of dishes from China and Korea as such.
Features of Fissman Cookware
The company is indeed based in Korea, but the Dane is involved in design-related developments. The main production facilities are located in Central Asia.
The history of the company says that it is a relatively young concern, founded not so long ago - in our XXI century, thanks to a group of experienced initiative professionals, led by the same experienced Danish designer - Hans Rummer.
After only a few years, the company managed to introduce its production facilities abroad, expanding its borders by hundreds of thousands of kilometers: from Southeast Asia (Korea and China) to Europe.
Such activity of the company, prevalence and quality of products made the products sold. Because of its sophistication, Korean dishes are designed to give aesthetic pleasure to the owners of a table set.
Which cookware from Korea has advantages
The first and most important thing is a quality marble coating. With famous brands, positioning themselves as manufacturers of dishes, you will not find marriage or products of low quality. The last novelty, which has been trending for several years now, is the marble coating of the non-stick surface of pans, pots and other kitchen utensils. The basis of this layer is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). In simple words, ordinary teflon, also known as fluoroplastite-4. This coating is used for Korean dishes Frybest, Fissman and other popular brands.
Inherent marbling only performs a decorative effect that attracts buyers. A distinctive feature of the "marble" pans is uniqueness. The presence of such a decorative surface can boast only true Korean dishes. The European manufacturer has practically no such assortment.
The main advantages of Korean kitchen equipment are:
- wide range of goods;
- attractive appearance;
- the opportunity to purchase products from Korean and Chinese manufacturers in company stores in Russia or order online from other countries;
- easy recognition of Asian brands of dishes due to their quality and popularity;
- a network of company stores in the Russian Federation;
- quality assurance.
Cost of cooking utensils
In general, the pricing policy for Korean dishes is characterized by an average and slightly above average. From this variety you can choose any option in design and ergonomics.
So, a compact set of two pans with a modification of the removable handle will cost the buyer about 3000 rubles. This is the average price for aluminum products with an external non-stick ceramic coating BIOECOCERAMICA. At the same time, bakelite is used to ebb the “holder”, and the dishes themselves are ideally suited for working with an induction cooker.
For a set of 8 items (4 pots and 4 covers) you will have to pay about 6,500 rubles, although by searching the sites you can purchase a set at a promotional price with a discount of up to 1,500 rubles. Although in this case, it is worth throwing in the shipping cost, which will cost from 400 rubles in Moscow.
What assortment of dishes is presented on the market
The variety is extremely large:
- pans
- pans
- stewpan;
- knives
- cutlery;
- kitchen accessories.
All these items are preferably made in bright colors, combined with a lightweight dynamic design.
For the manufacture of Korean dishes, the manufacturer uses environmentally friendly material that does not contain lead and cadmium, and before launching a new line on the market, he subjected it to serious tests and a number of tests for quality, strength, heat resistance, safety, etc.
Finding quality dishes or cutlery from China or Korea is not difficult. The main thing is not to fall for scammers who, under the guise of certified products, sell low-quality goods that spoil the impression of many branded Chinese manufacturers.
Warranties for buyers
If your product is made of stainless steel or cast aluminum, then the warranty period is 12 months. Plastic and silicone products, as well as kitchen accessories, receive up to 6 months of warranty service. But in some cases, the warranty on dishes made in China or Korea does not apply. This happens when the dishes are mechanically damaged as a result of:
- product falls;
- the use of dishes in violation of the temperature regime, which as a result leads to overheating;
- intentional damage.
Antiguarantee for dishes
In addition to these three factors, warranty service of Korean dishes with ceramic coating is not carried out with a natural change in the external properties of the product that arose during operation. Among them, this kind of flaws:
- mechanical damage to the surface;
- natural changes in the color of the metal;
- spots, points of lime and more.
Reviews about the dishes: what they say
It is worth noting that customer reviews are inconsistent and unstable. Some praise, showing off the long life of the coated Korean cookware. Others complain that the pan or pan began to deteriorate on first use.
Bearing in mind the dishes made in Korea, many imply low-quality products. But not always that originally from Asia is bad. Buying dishes in a certified company store, experts write, you can be sure of the quality of the goods.
Some negative characteristics inherent in the dishes
Among the shortcomings, buyers note the following:
- manufacturer's designation;
- various reviews of dishes that do not give an accurate idea of the quality of the goods;
- inconsistency of price and declared quality;
- frequent lack of warranty.
Despite these negative qualities, there are still good reviews about Korean dishes. To give preference to such goods or to trust European brands is everyone's business. But often for the same price for which you can buy one pot or pan in a company store, you can buy a complete set of kitchen tools from a Korean manufacturer. Which, of course, attracts the attention of most buyers due to budget.
To buy or not - this is the main question asked by almost every buyer. It remains to decide for yourself which dishes to choose for your kitchen. The only thing worth recommending in this case is to pay attention to real customer reviews on the Web. Only in this way will you most accurately and objectively orient yourself on what to stop your attention on, and which seller is better to ignore.
