The Maestro MR-1208-28 is a 28 cm frying pan with a removable handle and a granite-pattern non-stick coating, designed for use on both gas and induction cooktops. The detachable handle enables easy transfer from hob to oven and compact storage, while the granite surface supports straightforward food release and faster cleaning. Its size and flat cooking surface make it suitable for frying, sautéing and searing everyday meals at home.
Advantages
The removable handle increases versatility: it allows safe oven finishing and simplifies storage in kitchen cabinets. The granite non-stick coating reduces the need for oil, prevents food from sticking, and makes washing the pan quicker. Construction suitable for gas and induction cooktops ensures broad compatibility, and a 28 cm diameter offers a balance between cooking capacity and heat distribution for typical household portions.
Suitable for
- Frying, sautéing and searing meat, fish and vegetables for family meals
- Oven finishing of dishes after stovetop browning (when handle detached)
- Everyday use on gas and induction hobs
- Compact kitchens where removable-handle storage saves space
When it may not be suitable
This frying pan is not intended for professional heavy-duty restaurant use where very high-frequency commercial use and industrial dishwashing occur. It may also be less suitable for very high-temperature open-flame grilling or for techniques requiring carbon-steel or cast-iron properties, such as developing a deep seasoned surface over time.
Key specifications
- Diameter: 28 cm
- Surface: granite-pattern non-stick coating
- Handle: removable/detachable for oven use and storage
- Compatible with: gas and induction cooktops
- Primary use: frying, sautéing, searing
How to use
Attach the handle securely before using on the hob and ensure it is locked in place according to the manufacturer's fastening method. Use on gas or induction burners with an appropriate heat level for the food being cooked; medium heat is recommended for most frying tasks with non-stick surfaces. Remove the handle when transferring the pan into an oven for finishing, following the oven temperature limits indicated by the manufacturer. After cooking, allow the pan to cool before washing; clean the granite coating with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to preserve the non-stick surface.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the pan diameter (28 cm) fits your typical portion sizes and cookware storage
- Check that your oven temperature requirements are compatible with a removable-handle pan
- Decide whether a granite-pattern non-stick coating suits your cooking habits and cleaning preferences
Usage recommendations
To extend the life of the granite non-stick surface, avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaners, use moderate heat settings, and detach the handle only when necessary for oven use or storage.
