Unboxing
The Salter Megastone Pan set comes wrapped in minimal packaging - a win for both set-up and sustainability. Everything is recyclable, and you won't need a single pair of scissors to get this party started. My one and only piece of advice? Rinse the pans before using - they're as open as a nosy neighbor's front door, and you don't want factory dust ruining your feast.
Hob compatability
Who's it for?
All
From budget-conscious beginners to seasoned chefs, the Megastone collection has something for everybody. Its PFOAS-free coating makes it an excellent replacement for your old non-stick pans, and with its scratch-resistance, even those with a heavy hand can enjoy these pans without worrying about the damage they may do.
The set's user-friendly thermo collar will turn red when the pan is hot enough to cook, making it perfect for less-confident cooks who need a little guidance. And with its durability, it can handle everything and anything you throw at it - crab legs, lobster, even that mess you call breakfast.
Metal Utensil Safe
As for the fact that these puppies aren't dishwasher-safe? It's a small price to pay for cookware that'll last you a lifetime. Salter offers the set in a variety of options, but this three-piece set covers all the basics, making it the perfect starter kit.

First impressions
The Megastone's three frying pan sizes offer versatility - you can cook multiple American-sized pancakes at once, or opt for a large, honestly-sized pancake if you're feeling fancy. But I'll bet you a stack of those baby pancakes that you'll end up testing more than just pancakes, anyway.
Non-stick
We put all Salter's pans through a series of tests to ensure they can handle the heat. And boy, did they ever. The induction hob reached the perfect temperature within thirty seconds, leaving us confident that the pan could handle any task we threw its way.
Yes
We tested its heat distribution by cooking pancakes, onions, and a chocolate sauce - and it aced each test with flying colors. The pancakes were evenly browned, the onions cooked evenly, and the sauce heated gently and evenly. And don't even get me started on how butter melted all over the place - these pans make cooking a breeze.
Cleaning is the only downside, but let's be real - if you're lazy, you probably shouldn't be cooking in the first place. These pans are hand-wash only, but their excellent non-stick surface makes cleanup a breeze. Just make sure you don't burn anything - I tried, and these pans proved unbeaten.
Dishwasher safe
Compared to the competition
No
I mentioned earlier that these pans took the place of my beloved Ninja NeverStick for a full week of testing. While both pans boast stone-effect non-stick surfaces, the Salter pans proved both durable and lightweight. They may lack some of the Ninja's extra touches, like the stackable set and neat lip around the edge, but they are more than enough for those after affordable, high-quality cooking solutions.
The final verdict
