Kelomat

Kelomat is a cookware brand from Austria. It was established in Upper Austria in 1948 and is now run by Riess Kelomat GmbH in Ybbsitz.

Where Kelomat comes from

• In 1948, Gruber & Kaja began making Kelomat pressure cookers, initially from aluminium and, since 1978, from 18/10 stainless steel
• Cookware, frying pans, baking accessories, knives and kitchen tools were added later
• In 2001, cookware company Riess acquired the brand, which has operated as Riess Kelomat GmbH ever since
• Registered office: Maisberg 47 in Ybbsitz, Lower Austria

Materials and construction

• 18/10 stainless steel is an alloy containing 18 % chromium and 10 % nickel
• A special base distributes heat evenly; most bases are magnetisable, while the instructions specify whether they are suitable for induction
• The Prime frying pan has several layers with an aluminium core and a ceramic non-stick coating

Ranges at Taiga

• Quattro: 28 x 28 x 10 cm roasting dish made of 18/10 stainless steel, ovenproof and dishwasher-safe
• Prime: frying pan, sauté pan and wok with ceramic non-stick coating
• Keramika Red: cast aluminium casserole with a diameter of 20, 24 or 28 cm (2.7 to 6.8 l) and silicone handle protection up to 220 °C

Care

Kelomat stainless steel is dishwasher-safe, but according to Kelomat, it stays shiny for longer if you wash it by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. Add salt to the water only after it has boiled, and lift the base of the pan when putting it down instead of sliding it.
