This deep frying pan 28 cm with Ilag Basic non-stick coating (model HTXD3584-CX) is designed for everyday frying, sautéing and simmering. Its 28 cm diameter provides a broad cooking surface while the higher sides make it suitable for dishes that need more volume, such as stews, sauces and vegetables. The Ilag Basic coating offers easy food release and facilitates cleaning, and the pan is intended for use on compatible stovetops.
Advantages
The Ilag Basic non-stick surface reduces the need for oil and prevents food from sticking, which simplifies cooking and cleaning. The deeper walls of this 28 cm pan increase capacity compared with a standard shallow frying pan, allowing one-pan meals and simultaneous browning and simmering. The flat base ensures stable contact with the cooking surface for even heat distribution when used with suitable stovetops.
Suitable for
- Frying and searing meat, fish and poultry
- Sautéing vegetables and aromatics
- Preparing sauces, gravies and reductions
- Cooking one-pot meals and shallow stews
- Everyday household cooking on compatible hobs
When it may not be suitable
This pan is not intended for use with metal utensils that can damage non-stick coatings; prolonged contact with sharp tools may reduce the lifetime of the Ilag Basic surface. It may not be the best choice for high-temperature oven finishing unless the handle and coating are explicitly rated for oven use. For induction hobs, confirm compatibility with the appliance; if the base is not magnetically responsive, the pan will not work on induction cooktops.

How to use
Preheat the pan on a compatible hob using medium heat, then add a small amount of oil or butter if desired. Place food into the hot surface and adjust heat to achieve the required browning or simmering. Use silicone, wooden, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to avoid scratching the Ilag Basic coating. After cooking, allow the pan to cool before washing; handwashing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the non-stick surface. Avoid sudden temperature shocks such as rinsing a very hot pan under cold water.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the pan base is compatible with your hob type (gas, electric, ceramic, induction).
- Decide whether the Ilag Basic non-stick coating meets your durability expectations compared with higher-grade coatings.
- Check handle design and oven compatibility if you plan to finish dishes in the oven.
Usage recommendations
For longest coating life, cook on medium or low heat, avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaners, and handwash with mild detergent. Allow the pan to reach working temperature gradually and store it carefully to avoid scratches.
