Cheap cookware is expensive. Quality cookware pays you back.

When Black Friday arrives, most shoppers think about the biggest discount—not the biggest value. But when it comes to cookware, choosing the cheapest option often becomes the most costly mistake.

Cheap non-stick pans that peel, stain, warp, or release toxins are not just wasteful—they’re unsafe and uneconomical.
This Black Friday, the smartest upgrade you can make for your kitchen and family is high-quality, ISI/BIS-certified stainless steel cookware.

Here’s why.


1. Why Cheap Non-Stick Fails (Fast)

Non-stick pans sold for extremely low prices are usually made with:

  • Thin aluminium bases

  • Low-quality coatings

  • Weak rivets/handles

  • Zero certification

  • No heat tolerance

The Result?

  • Coating peels within weeks

  • Food sticks after 2 months

  • Surface becomes scratched

  • Metal leaches into food

  • Pan warps under high flame

  • Needs replacement within 6–12 months

Most “budget pans” last 35–90 days of regular use.

What looks cheap initially becomes costly very quickly.


2. The Hidden Health Risks of Poor Cookware

Low-grade non-stick and mixed-metal pots often have:

  • Toxic coatings

  • Unregulated chemicals

  • Colour dyes

  • Weak welding

  • Poor-quality steel

When exposed to high heat (common in Indian cooking), these coatings break down and mix into food.

Why Stainless Steel Wins

  • No coatings

  • No peeling

  • No toxins

  • Heat-safe

  • 100% food-safe metal

  • Ideal for Indian frying, boiling, sautéing and dum-cooking

Mahaa cookware is ISI/BIS certified, ensuring every vessel meets national safety and durability standards.


3. The Cost-Per-Use Reality No One Talks About

Let’s compare:

Cheap Non-Stick Pan

  • Price: ₹399–699

  • Lifespan: 3–6 months (approx. 90 uses)

  • Cost per use: ₹4.50–₹7 per use

Mahaa Stainless-Steel Fry Pan

  • Price: ₹999–₹1,499 (Black Friday pricing)

  • Lifespan: 5–10 years (approx. 2,000–3,000 uses)

  • Cost per use: ₹0.30–₹0.60 per use

Who is actually cheaper?

The premium pan.

Cheap cookware feels affordable but becomes expensive over its short life.
Quality cookware looks expensive but becomes incredibly economical with long-term use.
