• Sautéing vegetables
• Preparing omelets and eggs
• Reheating smaller portions
• Recipes requiring hob-to-oven cooking

When it may not be suitable

This 20cm fry pan may not be suitable for cooking large family-sized meals or batch cooking due to its compact size. If you frequently prepare dishes for more than two people, you might find the surface area limiting.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 20cm
• Material: Durable aluminium
• Coating: AeroTech non-stick (PFOA-free)
• Compatibility: Suitable for all hob types, including induction

How to use

Before the first use, wash the pan in warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Place the pan on a suitable hob ring that matches the base diameter for optimal heat efficiency. Use a moderate heat setting to preserve the longevity of the non-stick coating. Although the pan is metal utensil safe, using silicone or wooden tools is recommended to maintain the surface condition over time. When moving the pan from the hob to the oven, always use oven mitts as the handle will become hot.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your hob size matches the 20cm base diameter
• Check if your oven can accommodate the pan at 200°C
• Consider if the 20cm size meets your portion requirements

Usage recommendations

To maintain the performance of the AeroTech coating, avoid using high heat settings for extended periods and allow the pan to cool down before submerging it in water to prevent thermal shock.
