This frying pan stands out due to its combination of practical design and functional performance. The non-stick surface allows for healthier cooking with minimal oil, while the included heat-resistant glass lid helps retain moisture and flavor during the cooking process.

When it may not be suitable
This pan may not be the ideal choice for high-heat professional searing that requires cast iron or stainless steel surfaces, as the non-stick coating is designed for moderate temperature ranges. Additionally, it is not intended for use in an oven unless specifically rated for such temperatures, and users should avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the non-stick surface.

How to use
Before the first use, wash the pan with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Place the pan on a burner that matches its base size to ensure even heat distribution. Use medium heat settings to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating. Always use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to prevent surface damage. When cooking is complete, allow the pan to cool down naturally before washing to avoid thermal shock.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your stovetop diameter is compatible with the 28 cm base
- Verify that you have adequate storage space for a 28 cm pan and its lid
- Confirm that you have non-abrasive cleaning tools available
Usage recommendations
To extend the lifespan of the non-stick coating, avoid using metal spatulas or knives directly on the surface and always hand wash the pan with a soft sponge rather than using a dishwasher.
