Go from disposable to multi-century cookware with the SOLIDteknics nöni Seamless Stainless Saucepan. This single piece cookware instantly upgrades your cooking experiences. With a patent pending design, the nöni Saucepan is a world first. It features monobloc indestructible durability and is free from rivets, welds, and even screws. In addition, the small batch German ferritic stainless steel has fast and even conduction on a variety of heat sources, including induction. The interior has a fine radial brush design while the exterior is wonderfully satin smooth. With no synthetic coatings, the nöni Saucepan is also non-toxic and totally safe. The innovative handles are specially vented to help dissipate heat. Made in Australia, the handle also features a cut out of the Australian flag. Finally, the 23cm lid offers innovation on its own. You can use the lid as a warming plate on top of the saucepan, or as a separate high-performance flat skillet. Multi-function, multi-generation cookware innovation.
I wasn't expecting the skillet lid to be as sturdy and solid as it is, but it seems just right for years of warp free use from broiler to oven to range to lid, or as an extra layer under my saucepan on the range when I want especially slow cooking over my not very adjustable burners.
The arrival of the set and trying them out tipped me over to backing the current noni campaign. I am ambivalent about replacing my cast-iron with the sauteuse bombee, but probably should since I regularly strip the seasoning by using my go-to pan (perfect size and heat distribution) for one-pot meal creation, and very rarely fry alone. I might start with frying (caramelized onions!), but then in goes the vegies with steamy moisture and all seasoning is for naught.
The only thing that would make the saucepan more useful would be a double boiler (that could be used as a pot on its own???), though fortunately I have a bowl that will work for that, and a steamer, though I also have a colander/steamer insert I can use for that. Those would allow me to count it as a direct replacement for the (smaller) saucepan and double boiler currently on my above stove pot rack, and let those go (though I am likely to anyway once I test my bowl double boiler set-up with the new saucepan). Space is a premium.
@samanthadonsky and @jonathan - to confirm I believe our service team have been in contact with you already?
@rajesh - we understand your situation has been rectified?
@robertc - our deepest apologies we missed your comment, thank you for your feedback and support, we would definetly be happy to discuss further via email - info@solidteknics.com
love the weight and feel of it. Solidteknics I recommend you go over your press/mold you are using both my lid and pan have small bumps in them towards the center of each.
Also recommend you round the cuts in the lid. The weight of the lid and thinness of the handle force you grip tight or use leverage in areas that apply pressure in the open spaces. Also not likely to happen in normal use but I sliced my thumb on the large space in the length of the handle. I rested my thumb in what seemed like a natural place in the widest gap it felt good there just a little sharpness from the edges. In this position I handed to a friend to get a look at it and when they took it and moved it closer to them my thumb slid up the handle and got cut when it got pinched in the groove. Like I said this is not likely to happen in normal use but thought you should be aware of the possibility.
The only thing we'd disagree with is their old school knowledge of 'stainless should have an aluminum or copper core or bottom'. We're proving that you no longer need that excessive engineering to achieve good and even conduction. We also don't bother seasoning our stainless pans, because we would prefer to use well-seasoned iron pans ( www.solidteknics.com/ion ) for any high temperature oil/fat based frying/grilling in skillets. Stainless for all liquids, boiling, acidic sauces, slow cooking, etc: all the things that strip seasoning off. Nothing is as durable as seamless 1 piece stainless for all those. Happy Cooking!
We saw the message Michael - thank you. We don't always respond on a Sunday night though ;-). We did discuss it here, and though we've never done it for past campaigns, we can do it this time because a lot of new supporters might be only finding out about AUS-ION wrought iron for the first time. It's kind of a painful manual process though, adding the correct retail price for the extra pan, plus calculating extra shipping, but we can do it if you bear with us. The other little thing to watch for is that these situations don't work with the Kickstarter database, and we need to make a note to manually adjust when it comes time to packing and shipping. So, yes, possible, but a bit of work and risk of human error. Natasha will respond to your message directly when she gets back to work. Thank you for backing our Kickstarter, and Happy Cooking!
Thank you for letting us know. It sounds strange, so worth checking with Kickstarter. Happy Cooking!
Firstly, huge thanks for your big commitment for the full 'set for life' reward. Regarding the strange account issue, it's Kickstarter's system, and their principle is they won't deduct payment from backers until a campaign (successfully) closes. Are you sure it's a real deduction, or just an 'authorisation'? It seems strange that there's been an arbitrary partial deposit taken by either Kickstarter or your card issuer? We've never seen this before, and the only thing we could find on Kickstarter FAQs was this: https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backer+questions… . Beyond that it's really a Kickstarter systems issue or bank issue we can't control, so please approach them directly for an explanation if it still seems weird. Let us know what you find out. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words of support! We're glad you found our Kickstarter campaign Luke, and we are very grateful for your pledge for the Fast Faithful: the rarest of all rare First Editions! We sent a notice to everyone on our Solid Supporters list within minutes of launching: that's the best way to find out first! Sign up - we've got lots more innovation coming! www.solidteknics.com/contact Yes, non-Nickel stainless doesn't leach Nickel, though we don't want to emphasise that too much. We don't want to be alarmist, and we're also not biochemists, so we can't give an expert opinion on the matter, particularly when the best scientists are still undecided. However, generally we like to err on the side of caution when it comes to health, and we'd prefer not to risk the Nickel stainless alloys for cookware (most of the cookware on the market, eg. 18/8, 18/10, 316, etc.). Happy Cooking!
