At Hard Crafts, we saw an opportunity to create a next-generation non-stick pan, implementing a new non-stick, non-scratch & water-based coating – carbon fusion. 

We designed our MELLO series pans with Carbon Fusion reinvented from PEEK Technology (polyether ether ketone) as its core material, which is probably one of the most durable non-stick coatings ever invented, and the world’s first water-based non-stick coating reinforced by carbon fiber. PEEK Technology is typically used in the manufacturing of medical tools, devices, implants, with this breakthrough in kitchenware design, we’ve developed a pan that is safer, more durable, and most of all, more “non-stick.”

A pan is the one cooking utensil that really gets put through the wringer. One of our main goals when designing this pan was that it should be able to last, even if put through the most intense conditions, and of course, be made from non-toxic materials.

If you have any doubts about the durability of Hard Crafts pans do check out this video. 🙂

Through using 30,000°F super-heated plasma technology to fuse the Carbon Fusion coating to the surface of the pans, you get an extremely hard surface that interlocks with our premium coating for a superior bond. Hard Crafts pans are extremely strong and super durable.

For regular non-stick pans, due to cost considerations,  there’s only one side covered with the non-stick coating. But at Hard Crafts, our MELLO series pans are coated in this compound, wrapped around its entirety for an effortlessly polished finish, and easily cleaned every time.

We love non-stick pans for daily use, but sooner more often than later they gradually lack their most important function —— the “non-stick”  loses the “non.” They scratch easily and start flaking off into your food, and when the coating wears off there’s no going back.

Cast iron and stainless steel pans can absorb quite a bit of oil while cooking, making them difficult to clean when food gets stuck to the bottom. The slippery surface of non-stick pans makes it easier to clean and maintain over time.

Thanks to the Carbon Fusion coating, the integrity of your pan will last from meal to meal even if cleaned with chemical detergent. 

Save time, space, and money. Sometimes, you’re only one pan away from unlocking endless kitchen possibilities. No more being daunted with hours spent in the kitchen. No more battling with a crusty pan after a long day. Swap the pans stacked in your cabinet, for just one. The one that can do it all.  

With all the merits of a flat pan, we’ve designed the MELLO Hybrid deeper, with an enlarged base allowing for it to adapt to a variety of cuisine.  

From cooking perfect eggs, to frying steak, making chicken soup or coconut curry, the MELLO Hybrid makes any meal feel like it was meant to be prepared here.

MELLO Hybrid allows you to try your hand at making Korean ramen, quick and easy Thai peanut chicken noodles, bolognese sauce, or even your grandmother’s famous paella.

With a micro-pressure pot cover made from tempered glass, and including a self-stand handle, the MELLO Hybrid improves any meal’s cooking efficiency by thirty percent.

Design Process

The design process will always be at the heart of Hard Crafts. Lovingly obsessing over every single consideration of a product is pure joy for us. After countless sketches, prototypes, testing, and an unholy amount of cooking, we knew we had a non-stick pan that was truly appreciated.

Why Hard Crafts 

At Hard Crafts, we are passionate about people who are passionate about cooking. We set out to design the essential non-stick pans because we believe quality cookware is at the heart of any great meal. Through hundreds of tests of prototypes, and in paying special attention to the minute details of our products, we strive to present you with unmatched quality geared towards enhancing your cooking experience.

Non-stick pans were always our first choice for their convenience when cooking, but the truth is that ALL non-stick pans eventually stop working and start sticking when the coating wears off, making them frustrating to work with and not sustainable. So that’s why we decided to create MELLO and MELLO Hybrid – versatile and durable cooking pans with reinforced carbon-fiber coating to ensure a smooth, non-stick cooking experience that will last you a lifetime.
