Throw away your pan – or have it recoated?

Every kitchen knows the three signs: food sticks despite fat, the coating is scratched or peeling, or the pan has been badly overheated and discoloured. In all three cases it is the coating that is worn out – not the pan.

Recoating is only not worth it if the base is badly warped or a flammable handle is permanently fixed. If in doubt, send us a photo and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth it.

Pans do not belong in the household rubbish bag. In most municipalities the collection point or recycling centre takes them with scrap metal. Unscrew removable plastic or wooden handles first. The exact rules are in your municipality’s waste calendar.

Like new tyres on proven rims: we remove the old coating completely and apply a new three-layer coating in professional kitchen quality – PFOA-free, made regionally in Winterthur and with a one-year guarantee. That uses over 80 % fewer resources than buying new.

Take a pan that is already recoated from stock – and send your old one back to us in the same box. We recoat it and it finds a new kitchen. See pans in stock.

Donate it: write “RePan Spende” on the parcel (postage is paid by the sender). Your pan gets a second life in another kitchen.
