Salter BW13977 Megastone 30cm Multifunctional Pan

The Salter BW13977 Megastone 30cm Multifunctional Pan is a versatile kitchen essential designed to handle a wide range of culinary tasks. Engineered with a high-performance Megastone non-stick coating, this pan offers exceptional durability and food release, allowing for healthier cooking with minimal oil. Its robust construction ensures even heat distribution across the entire surface, making it a reliable choice for everyday meal preparation.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this pan is its advanced Megastone coating, which is engineered to be significantly tougher than standard non-stick surfaces, ensuring long-lasting performance even with frequent use. The multifunctional design supports nine different cooking methods, providing flexibility for everything from frying and searing to simmering and steaming. The inclusion of a glass lid allows for precise temperature control and moisture retention, while the added accessories expand your cooking capabilities without the need for extra equipment.

Suitable for

• Frying eggs and searing meats
• Sautéing vegetables
• Simmering curries and stews
• Steaming vegetables using the included accessory
• Hob-to-oven cooking

When it may not be suitable

This pan may not be suitable for individuals requiring extremely large-capacity cookware for batch cooking for very large families, as the 30cm diameter has specific volume limits. Additionally, while the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing is often recommended to preserve the longevity of the non-stick coating over many years of intensive use.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 30 cm
• Coating: Megastone non-stick
• Compatibility: Suitable for all hob types, including induction
• Oven safe: Yes
• Dishwasher safe: Yes
• Included accessories: Glass lid, stainless steel spatula, and steamer insert

How to use

To begin, place the pan on a suitable heat source and allow it to heat up gradually. Due to the efficient non-stick properties, only a small amount of oil or butter is required for cooking. When using the pan on the hob, select a burner size that matches the base diameter for optimal heat distribution. If finishing a dish in the oven, ensure the oven is preheated to the required temperature and use oven mitts when handling the pan, as the handle may become hot. After use, allow the pan to cool down completely before cleaning to prevent thermal shock.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the dimensions of your oven to ensure the pan fits comfortably with the lid
• Verify that your induction hob is compatible with 30cm base cookware
• Consider your storage space for the pan and its accompanying accessories

Usage recommendations

For the best results and to extend the life of the Megastone coating, use silicone or wooden utensils rather than metal ones. Avoid using high heat settings for extended periods, as medium heat is generally sufficient for most cooking tasks with this pan.
