Cooking made easy with Melissa

MANILA, Philippines - Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Flavor shines through with simple ingredients in a few easy steps using reliable cooking pans to make sure that ingredients are cooked to a perfect finish.

With an easy-to-follow recipe at your fingertips, all you need is the right cookware.

With pots and pans, the way it’s made is just as important as its material. Because not all aluminum pans are equal, look for cold-forged aluminum cookware that ensures maximum energy efficiency allowing it to conduct heat fast and evenly across its surface. This way, the right temperature consistently touches your ingredients without fail, so no hot spots or uneven cooking will ruin your dish, whether your heating element is gas, electric, induction or ceramic.

Make sure the lid has an air-tight fit over the pot as this keeps the heat circulating evenly inside and helps cook your food faster. The coating on the cookware’s outer surface should be heat-resistant while the interior is coated with PFOA-free Teflon to ensure non-stick convenience when frying or searing.

You can find all these features in Chef’s Classics’ Italian-made Melissa cookware, a line of pots and pans that possesses the Italian technology of creating cold-forged aluminum bodies for maximum heat dependability and strength.

Chef’s Classics products are available at leading department stores nationwide.
