    Quite powerful portable induction hob with 2000W.
    Because I only use built-in induction hobs and after making a small comparison, I initially thought of throwing it in the trash when I first used it!!
    Let's talk about the noise!! It sounds like a generator from the moment you turn it on and continues for 1-2 minutes after you turn it off!!

    Well, after 2-3 days and using it as the main hob, I realized that it is not suitable for cooking in any case. It doesn't cook any food that requires a stable-low temperature, because up to level 5 it gives intensity-cuts, gives 5 seconds-cuts 5 seconds, and so on. Sometimes the food boils as if it's on maximum heat, and sometimes it's turned off. Of course, for those who want to boil water or cook pasta, get it because it remains stable above level 5, meaning the intensity does not fluctuate but remains at levels 5-6-7-8-9-10.
    The same applies to frying. It is a powerful hob, perfect for sautéing, so I kept it for sautéing and to keep the oil away from the hobs, close to the sink.

    For me, the ultimate use is for sautéing and boiling water, because I had 2 stainless steel coffee pots that my hobs couldn't "read" due to their small diameter, while this one reads them and works properly.

    The weight is... light! The size is ideal, it fits all my pots up to 28cm. The height, on the other hand, bothers me as it is about 6 centimeters until the glass surface, but I don't know how other portable hobs are to consider it a disadvantage, it just bothers me!

  • Ένα καλό μαχαίρι με εύκολο άνετο κράτημα χωρίς να φεύγει στο χέρι.
    Αρκετά κοφτερό όπως το χρησιμοποιώ σε κοπές λαχανικών.
    Δεν έχει θύλακες αέρα όπως άλλα Santoku αλλά προσωπικά δεν με νοιάζει.
    θέλει συντήρηση μετά από χρήση πλύσιμο σκούπισμα με πετσέτα και στη θήκη-βάση του αλλιώς χάνει εύκολα την κόψη του οπότε θέλει μασάτι καθημερινό ή ακόνισμα σε πέτρα.
    Πάντως είμαι ευχαριστημένος και θα το ξαναγόραζα άνετα σε αυτή τη τιμή πέριξ των 50€

  • Το μαχαίρι είναι κοφτερό ως και σήμερα αλλά δεν κάνω και ιδιαίτερη σκληρή χρήση, μόνο για λαχανικά το χρησιμοποιώ και μπορώ να πω ότι είναι ένα καλό μαχαίρι με καλή εργονομία που δεν γλιστράει στο χέρι.

    Έχω και άλλα μαχαίρια από Narihira (Ιαπωνέζικα) δεν με έχουν ενθουσιάσει τόσο όσο άλλα πολύ ακριβότερα αλλά τροχίζονται εύκολα με πέτρα και με βολεύουν για ξεχωριστές κοπές το καθένα.
    Είμαι υπέρ της τιμολογιακής τους πολιτικής όπου τα θεωρώ τίμια για αυτά που προσφέρουν.

  • I have had it for about 2 months and with 2-3 uses per week, it is flawless!
    War machine! So far, I have made velouté soups, sauces, garlic dip, and mashed potatoes, and it didn't bother me at all!
    The first and second speed settings have a small difference, but it is so powerful that based on the use I make, the turbo is a luxury.
    Also, I did not notice it heating up for an extended period. Everything is perfect

    4 luxurious, high-quality and branded utensils. It's a shame that they don't have larger diameter stainless steel utensils in this set or any other, only cast iron is available so far from Combekk.
    So, let's go through the 4 utensils as follows:
    1 with a 20 cm opening (diameter) and a bottom of 18 cm, height of 12 cm, and a capacity of 3 liters.
    1 with an 18 cm opening (diameter) and a bottom of 16 cm, height of 11.5 cm, and a capacity of 2 liters.
    1 with a 16 cm opening (diameter) and a bottom of 14 cm, height of 10.5 cm, and a capacity of 1.5 liters.
    1 with a 16 cm opening (diameter) and a bottom of 14 cm, height of 10.5 cm, and a capacity of 1.5 liters.
    The 16 cm utensils share the same lid.

    They are heavy compared to others I have, which are stainless steel with reinforced bottoms for the joy of induction cooktops!!!

    The handles get quite hot even with moderate fire intensity, especially the lid, despite the luxurious handle. It is necessary to use towels, gloves, silicone grips, etc.
    I would definitely buy them again at reasonable prices, of course.

  • Sturdy construction with the right weight, so that nothing I have made has moved from the counter. Very powerful blender, it only takes half a minute to blend velvet soups into foam! So far, I have used the turbo mode for seconds and the speed up to 2! I'm afraid it might explode at 5!! Hahaha.

    When it first started working, it had a burnt smell which hasn't completely disappeared, but I don't think it's anything to worry about because it works perfectly so far.

    The capacity in the glass jug is satisfactory in size, especially for soups, which I use it for, it easily serves 4-5 deep plates.

    Quality construction made of brushed stainless steel, it can be easily cleaned with a cloth and looks brand new. Very satisfied, I would recommend it for around 50€ as a decent purchase.

    The review is about the Bonn 24cm pot with a capacity of 5.7 liters.

    Does it cook well? Yes, if you know the basics.
    Does it have good quality? Yes! It even looks luxurious with engravings on the logo handles.
    Appearance? Jewel! You won't even want to dirty it!!!
    Do the handles get hot? Not at all, even on the boost setting on the stove.
    Glass lid with handle? Well, it's the most beautiful lid you can imagine.
    Is it worth its money?

    Well, we have to say that the pot is a good pot, maybe one of the best stainless steel ones, but it has many disadvantages and I'll explain:
    - Glass lid to see the food, but as soon as it sweats, it needs glass cleaner.
    - Capacity of 5.7 liters, but you can't fill it up to the top, not even with water, don't let them fool you! The capacity is 5 liters for cooking. From there to 5.7 liters, it's like... a casserole dish for the oven.
    - When you cook and finish, there are stains and marks like salt on the surface of the bottom. Also, the color changes from silver stainless steel to... a rainbow, hahaha.

    However! However! It cooks well. It heats up quickly, you can adjust the intensity, and it has an immediate response... you can guide the food wherever you want...

    So, overall, I would buy it again only if it was wider and... cheaper!
    3-year warranty! I really don't know what it covers!

    The review is about the 20 cm knife.

    The knife is very good and very light.
    Perfectly balanced weight distribution in the handle and blade, it doesn't tire at all while cutting unless you cut your fingers! hahaha
    Sharp blade, double-edged, well sharpened, with a thickness of about 3-4 millimeters.

    Compared to other knives I have, Japanese and non-Japanese, this is the one I reach for first!
    You can cut everything with precision and without effort.

    Highly recommended for both amateurs and experienced knife users.
    Be careful not to drop the knife due to its weight if you are used to heavier knives.

    First of all, I have to say that it shouldn't be in the frying pans category but in the shallow pots category, because it is a shallow pot regardless of whether someone can use the utensil as a sauté pan.

    So, with a useful capacity of 5 liters, with engraving even, with an external diameter of the spout of 28 cm and a bottom of 27 cm and a height of exactly 11 cm, it is a shallow pot with multiple uses. You can sauté, cook, and even put it in the oven.

    A versatile utensil, very lightweight, which works perfectly on induction hobs due to the steel, and in general, no one will be dissatisfied with its purchase.

    The lid has ventilation holes or for pouring and removing liquids without the need to move them. Of course, it is crooked and does not fit well on the mouth of the utensil, but this does not significantly affect its function.

    Pay attention to the handles where high temperature develops when it is on the stove for a while because they burn. For the oven, I don't even discuss it, silicone oven mitts are mandatory.

    P.S. A big downside is the crooked bottom that does not make good contact on flat hobs. In fact, the customer service responded that the "play" of the utensil is within normal limits! Hahaha, what can you say after that!
