Quick answer: Agnelli makes professional cookware in several lines. Choose Aluminum Pro 3mm for fast, responsive everyday cooking, Aluminum Pro 5mm for heavy-duty, even heat, Alu-Inox 3-Ply stainless steel if you cook on induction or want a stainless cooking surface, and Nonstick, Shark Skin or All-Black for easy food release. For pizza and baking, Agnelli's blue steel pans are the specialist choice.
Agnelli is an Italian cookware maker founded in Bergamo, Italy, in 1907 by Baldassare Agnelli, who built the company on professional aluminum cookware. More than a century later, its pans are used in restaurant kitchens and home kitchens around the world. Agnelli USA is the official Agnelli store in the United States, shipping from Miami, Florida.
Because Agnelli makes so many lines, the most common question we get is simple: which one should I buy? This guide explains each collection, what it is best at, and which stoves it works on.
| Line | Material | Best for | Induction? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Pro 3mm | 3mm, 100% recycled aluminum | Sautéing, pasta sauces, everyday cooking | Most pieces no; selected pieces have an induction base |
| Aluminum Pro 5mm | 5mm, 100% recycled aluminum | Heavy-duty use, large batches, even browning | No (gas, electric, radiant) |
| Alu-Inox 3-Ply | Stainless steel / aluminum core / 18/10 stainless steel | Induction cooktops, searing, easy cleaning | Yes |
| Nonstick | 3mm aluminum with Teflon® Platinum Plus coating | Eggs, fish, delicate foods | Most pieces no; check each product |
| Shark Skin Nonstick | Aluminum with Powered Greblon Technology coating (PFOA-free) | Durable nonstick for daily use | Yes (induction-compatible construction) |
| All-Black 3mm | 3mm aluminum, Al-Black finish with nonstick coating | Nonstick cooking with a black professional look | Most pieces no; one induction version |
| 1932 Series Aluminum | 3mm aluminum with brass handles | Stove-to-table serving, individual portions | No |
| Blue Steel Pizza Pans | Blue steel | Pizza, focaccia, crisp-crusted baking | Oven use |
Compatibility and country of origin can vary by product. Every product page lists the exact cooktops and specifications.
Aluminum Pro 3mm is Agnelli's classic professional line. The pans are made from 100% recycled aluminum, 3mm thick, with stainless steel handles. Aluminum heats quickly and responds fast when you turn the flame up or down, which is why it has long been a favorite in busy restaurant kitchens. Choose 3mm if you cook on gas or electric and want a light, fast pan for sautéing, pasta sauces and everyday meals.
The difference is thickness. The Aluminum Pro 5mm line uses a 5mm aluminum body, which adds weight and durability and holds heat more steadily. That makes 5mm a good fit for high-volume cooking, large pans and frequent use. The 3mm line is lighter and reacts faster. Both are made from 100% recycled aluminum and work on gas, electric and radiant cooktops.
Pure aluminum does not work on induction on its own, because induction needs a magnetic base. Agnelli's induction-ready options are:

Agnelli offers three nonstick options:
Whichever you choose, nonstick lasts longest on low to medium heat with wood, silicone or other non-abrasive utensils, washed by hand.
Blue steel is a heat-treated steel that transfers oven heat efficiently to the dough, which helps build a crisp, well-browned crust. Agnelli's blue steel pizza pans are made for traditional pizza, pan pizza and focaccia. They need a light seasoning with oil and darken naturally with use.

Many Agnelli cookware, bakeware and kitchen products are made in Italy, and the brand's professional aluminum cookware is manufactured in Italy. Country of origin can vary by product and collection, so each Agnelli USA product page lists its origin and specifications.
No. Agnelli cookware comes from the Baldassare Agnelli company in Bergamo, Italy, a cookware maker since 1907. It is not connected to the Agnelli family associated with Fiat in Turin; the two simply share a surname.

We recommend hand washing Agnelli aluminum, stainless and nonstick cookware with warm water, mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge, then drying it thoroughly. Check each product page for its specific care instructions.
Avoid metal utensils on nonstick lines. On uncoated aluminum, avoid sharp utensils that could scratch the cooking surface. Wood and silicone are the safest choice for all lines.
