The Kinvara 82288 is a 28 cm non-stick frying pan engineered for induction cooktops. Its honeycomb (cellular) non-stick coating reduces food adhesion and eases cleaning, while the pan's flat induction-compatible base provides stable contact with induction hob surfaces. Designed for everyday home cooking, the pan is suitable for frying, sautéing and general stovetop tasks where even heat distribution and simplified maintenance are desired.
Advantages
The honeycomb non-stick surface limits sticking and allows cooking with less fat, making it easier to flip and remove food. The 28 cm diameter offers a practical cooking area for family portions, and the induction-capable base ensures consistent heating on compatible cooktops. The overall construction is intended to balance heat distribution and simple upkeep for regular kitchen use.
Suitable for
- Frying eggs, pancakes and omelettes
- Searing and sautéing vegetables, meat or fish
- Everyday family meals and one-pan dishes
- Use on induction cooktops and other stove types that accept flat-based pans
When it may not be suitable
This frying pan is designed primarily for home cooking and routine stovetop tasks; it may not meet the performance expectations of professional kitchens that require heavy-duty, commercial-grade cookware. The honeycomb non-stick surface is durable for typical domestic use but can be damaged by abrasive cleaning pads or metal utensils if used improperly.
Key specifications
- Cooking surface diameter: 28 cm
- Coating: honeycomb (cellular) non-stick layer
- Compatibility: suitable for induction cooktops and other flat-stove types
- Intended use: frying, sautéing and general stovetop cooking
How to use
Preheat the pan on the induction hob at medium heat before adding oil or ingredients to ensure even cooking. Use wooden, silicone or heat-resistant plastic utensils to protect the non-stick honeycomb surface. Clean after use with warm water, mild detergent and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads to preserve the coating. Allow the pan to cool before washing to prevent thermal stress.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your cooktop accepts induction-compatible flat-base pans
- Consider the 28 cm diameter relative to your typical portion sizes and storage space
- Plan to use non-abrasive utensils and cleaning tools to prolong the coating life
Usage recommendations
For best results, cook on low to medium heat settings, avoid overheating an empty pan, and dry thoroughly before storing. Regular gentle cleaning and using appropriate utensils will help maintain the non-stick honeycomb surface and extend the pan's useful life.
