Salter Megastone Excellence 28cm Griddle Pan, Grey

The Salter Megastone Excellence 28cm Griddle Pan in grey is a high-performance kitchen essential designed for efficient and healthy cooking. Crafted from durable forged aluminium, this pan offers rapid and even heat distribution, ensuring consistent results every time you cook. The advanced non-stick surface allows for cooking with minimal oil, making it an ideal choice for those looking to prepare nutritious meals without compromising on flavor or texture.

Advantages

This griddle pan stands out due to its robust construction and user-friendly features. The high-quality non-stick coating not only prevents food from sticking but also simplifies the cleaning process significantly. A standout feature is the integrated thermo collar, which changes color to indicate when the pan has reached the optimal cooking temperature, taking the guesswork out of searing. The heat-resistant exterior adds an extra layer of safety during use, while the versatile base ensures compatibility with all hob types, including induction.

Suitable for

• Searing steaks, chicken, and other meats
• Grilling vegetables for healthy side dishes
• Preparing quick, low-fat meals daily
• Cooking on induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs

When it may not be suitable

This griddle pan is not intended for deep-frying or boiling large quantities of liquid due to its shallow design and ribbed surface. It may also not be the best choice for delicate dishes that require a completely flat cooking surface, such as thin crepes or pancakes.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 28 cm
• Material: Forged aluminium
• Coating: Non-stick Megastone
• Heat indicator: Integrated thermo collar
• Hob compatibility: Induction, gas, electric, and ceramic
• Exterior: Heat-resistant finish

How to use

Place the griddle pan on a suitable hob ring and heat it gradually. Monitor the thermo collar; once it turns red, the pan has reached the ideal temperature for searing. Add a small amount of oil if desired, then place your ingredients onto the ribbed surface. Cook until the desired level of char or doneness is achieved, turning occasionally. After use, allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your hob size matches the 28 cm diameter for optimal heat efficiency
• Check your storage space, as the griddle pan has a fixed handle
• Consider that the ribbed surface is specifically designed for searing and grilling

Usage recommendations: To maintain the longevity of the non-stick coating, use silicone or wooden utensils rather than metal tools. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is recommended to keep the surface in peak condition.
