Made in Italy, the Ballarini Parma Plus by HENCKELS 2-Piece Fry Pan Set blends everyday practicality with Italian quality. Each pan has a pure aluminum body that heats evenly and cooks food quickly. The Granitium nonstick coating is reinforced with ceramic particles and tiny speckles for extra strength, so food slides out easily and cleanup takes little effort. It’s tough enough for metal utensils and stays looking new even after daily use.
The handle has a built-in Thermopoint indicator that changes color to show when the pan is ready for cooking or cool enough to wash. Soft to the touch and comfortable to hold, the handle also stays cool on the stovetop. These pans are dishwasher safe, oven safe up to 300°F (150°C), and perfect for anyone who wants durable, easy-to-use cookware made with real Italian care.
Features three durable layers of Granitium ceramic-reinforced nonstick for effortless food release and fast cleanup.
Cold-forged pure aluminum body ensures quick and even heat across the surface for perfect cooking results every time.
Thermopoint technology changes color to show when the pan is hot or cool, helping save energy and protect the coating. Safe for use in the oven up to 300°F, ideal for finishing dishes or keeping food warm.
Ergonomic, heat-insulating handle provides a secure and comfortable hold during cooking. High-temperature resistant ceramic finish that’s easy to clean and keeps the cookware looking like new.
1. Place the pan on medium heat and let it warm up slowly. The Thermopoint handle will turn red when the pan is ready to cook.
2. Use a small amount of oil or butter if desired. Thanks to the Granitium nonstick coating, you only need very little for perfect browning and easy release.
3. The cold-forged aluminum body spreads heat evenly across the surface. Use medium heat for best results and avoid overheating the pan when empty.
4. After cooking, wait until the Thermopoint handle turns green. This means the pan has cooled and is safe to wash.
5. The pan is dishwasher safe, but hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge keeps the nonstick surface in top condition for years.
I cook almost every day, and these two pans are the ones I reach for the most. The smaller one is perfect for breakfast, and the bigger one fits a full dinner for two. They heat up fast and clean so easily that I’ve stopped using my old stainless pans. The handle turning red when it’s ready is a small thing, but it makes a difference.

I bought this set for home use after seeing Ballarini in a friend’s kitchen in Italy. The nonstick is honestly better than most high-end brands I’ve tried — eggs just glide off, and nothing sticks. What I like most is that they stay flat and don’t warp, even after months of daily cooking. For the price, the quality is excellent.

I was looking for nonstick pans that actually last, and these are it. The speckled surface still looks new after months of use, and they cook everything evenly. I appreciate that they’re light enough to handle with one hand but still feel solid. If you cook often, this set is absolutely worth it.

Parma Plus is an enhanced version of the original Parma line. It features a three-layer Granitium nonstick coating reinforced with ceramic particles and speckles, offering superior scratch resistance and longer-lasting nonstick performance. The pans also include a soft-touch Thermopoint handle and a thicker forged aluminum base for better heat control and stability.
Yes. All Ballarini Parma Plus pans are made in Italy in the company’s factory in Rivarolo Mantovano, using high-purity aluminum and Italian-engineered Granitium coating. Each pan carries the official “Made in Italy” stamp on the base.
The Parma Plus line is ideal for everyday home cooking, including sautéing vegetables, frying eggs, searing chicken, or simmering sauces. It performs best on medium heat, delivering consistent results without hot spots. The durable surface allows gentle searing and crisp browning while remaining easy to clean afterward.
Parma Plus pans are designed for gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops. They are not compatible with induction because their aluminum base does not contain a magnetic layer.
Yes, these pans are oven-safe up to 300°F (150°C), which makes them great for finishing dishes or keeping food warm. However, they are not meant for broiling or baking at high temperatures.
The 2-piece fry pan set includes one 8-inch (20 cm) and one 10-inch (26 cm) pan, both with the same Granitium coating and Thermopoint handle for consistent cooking and handling.
