Because I am so energy conscious, I read a lot about how to cook energy-efficiently on my induction hob. I read that 3ply pans achieve the highest efficiency because not only the bottom absorbs magnetic energy but also the walls.
The choice fell on the Colonical Deluxe. They are beautifully finished pans for a very favorable price. You can follow the cooking process through the glass lid. The pans have a high finish and feel very solid.
It is very nice that due to the conical shape of the pan, the pans of the same diameter can be stacked perfectly to save space. This is very important if you have a small kitchen and many pans.
The volume distribution on the inside is very handy. And the pans are stable on my induction plate. The heat conduction in the pan is optimal so that I can still make very nice sauces on a slightly lower setting without burning.
I do have a problem with boiling liquids. The lid fits perfectly on the pan. This ensures that little heat escapes and promotes energy-efficient cooking. But what is an advantage for one is a disadvantage for another.
Boiling water creates pressure in the pan. Because the lid fits perfectly on the pan, the pressure is built up until the pressure is so high and it starts looking for a way out between the edge of the pan and the lid.
When boiling water, condensation forms against the lid, which slowly flows back into the pan along the edge. This creates the problem that this condensed water is squeezed out of the pan due to the overpressure. Result hissing and splashing. A little water on the induction plate won't hurt.
It gets much worse when cooking pasta. This creates bubbles. You cook pasta in plenty of water that is brought to a boil. Because the lid fits so well on the pan, the pressure is increased considerably. There is no vent hole in the lid with the result that everything boils over.
The lack of a vent hole is my biggest annoyance when cooking pasta. It is a matter of lifting the lid every 10 seconds to lower or drown the foam. Reducing the energy supply is actually not an option. Pasta has to swim, if you lower the temperature the water will no longer boil and the pasta will sink to the bottom and can stick to it.
Which is why this is the only downside I have about these beautiful pans, but it is a serious downside.

They are nice compact pans and indeed heat through evenly. The lid provides a good view of the progress of the cooking process. The downside is that the handles get hot. So use potholders.

The BK Conical Deluxe Pan Set has a very nice shape. The glass lids are very practical and handy that the saucepan also has a lid, which also makes it a full-fledged pan. Everything cooks very quickly. The handles do get warm, but a potholder gets used to it in no time. We had to buy pans because of the weather. our new induction hob, which we thought was a shame, but afterwards we are happy. The pans are a jewel in the kitchen and this has been a very good choice. We are happy with it!!
