Scanpan and Baccarat compete in two places: the non-stick frying pan and the stainless steel cookware set.
On the pan, Scanpan's Classic is made in Denmark, goes in the oven to 250°C and is rated safe with metal utensils. Baccarat's STONE is made in China, goes in the oven to 180°C and costs less than half as much. On the stainless six-piece sets, Scanpan's Impact is currently the cheaper of the two and every pot in it is a size larger.

Scanpan Classic 28cm
The Classic is Scanpan's Stratanium non-stick on a cast recycled-aluminium body, with a Bakelite handle, made in Denmark. Scanpan rates it oven-safe to 250°C and safe with metal utensils, and it carries a 10-year warranty. It does not work on induction; the Classic Induction is the version that does.
Owner reviews praise the non-stick and easy cleaning. The complaint that comes up is durability, with some owners reporting the handle breaking within six months.
What We Like:
- Made in Denmark
- Oven-safe to 250°C
- Rated for metal utensils
What We Don't Like:
- No induction
- Handle breakages in owner reviews
Baccarat STONE 28cm
The STONE is a cast-aluminium pan with a stone-look non-stick finish, made in China. It works on every cooktop including induction and goes in the oven to 180°C, and Baccarat backs it with what it calls a lifetime guarantee, which its warranty terms define as 25 years from purchase. It costs less than half the Scanpan's price.
The oven limit is the practical gap: 180°C covers finishing a frittata but not a hot oven roast, where the Scanpan's 250°C does.
What We Like:
- Less than half the Scanpan's price
- Works on induction
- 25-year guarantee
What We Don't Like:
- Oven-safe only to 180°C
