When it may not be suitable
This uncoated stainless steel pan may not be the best choice for beginners who are not accustomed to managing heat levels, as food is more likely to stick compared to non-stick surfaces. It requires proper preheating and fat usage to ensure optimal performance.

How to use
To achieve the best results, preheat the pan on a medium heat setting before adding oil or food. Once the pan is hot, add your ingredients. For searing meat, allow the surface to develop a crust before attempting to flip, as this prevents sticking. The pan is dishwasher safe due to its closed rim design, though hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish over time.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the 24 cm diameter meets your cooking volume requirements
- Verify your stovetop compatibility if using specialized induction or solid fuel hobs
- Note that the handle may become hot when used in the oven
Usage recommendations
For optimal longevity and performance, avoid using metal utensils that may scratch the stainless steel surface and always allow the pan to cool down before submerging it in cold water.
