design excellence: the scanpan IQ

the scanpan IQ made in Denmark is classed with "intelligent cookware where it forms carry function". It is the need in every modern kitchen with its exclusive features such as the induction functionality, 100% recycled aluminum and the non-stick capabilities and the streamlining look of silicone on the rim of the lids; it is ultimately desired by every chef and cook in the house. By looking at the elements and principles of design this particular scanpan provides an aesthetically pleasing product.

elements and principles of design:
- simple contrasts in colours are used with titanium silver and the bold black, each complementing one and the other.
- the texture of the pan has a is very smooth surface, as it is patented with ceramic titanium non-stick surface for durability and allowing the use of any type of utensils such as metal.
- small vent holes are added to the lid allowing for ventilation, preventing the over-boiling result and burning the body when the lid is lifted. These holes are in balance upon each other.
-the base shape of the pan keeps to traditional pans allowing better movement whilst cooking and a nicer form; whereas the size and proportion of the scanpan provides stability and is suited to the average household user from cooking eggs to steaks with ease.
- the bottom is perfectly made to suit the induction cooktops, it is also suited to any other cooktops, where the scanpan IQ has met the consumers' need with the latest technology. The circular motions and lines are in direction with the modern design is seen at the bottom of the scanpan. It also adds a link to the circular motions on the cooktops, making it easier for the consumer to use.
-easy storage as seen with the hole made on the tip of the handle.
-the curved-shaped handle provides a comfortable silicone handle provides a better grip for the user as it is in proportional length and size, being not too small or big for the average consumer.
-the lid featuring streamlined silicone rimmed edges gives a 'clang-free' sound whilst cooking and minimizing the impact and risk of it shattering when it drops. This unifies the scanpan, providing harmony of the two.
