Salter BW14713 Alto 20cm Fry Pan

The Salter BW14713 Alto 20cm Fry Pan is a versatile and durable kitchen essential designed to meet the demands of everyday cooking. Crafted from high-quality recycled pressed aluminium, this pan provides excellent strength and efficient heat distribution, ensuring your meals are cooked consistently every time. Its compact 20cm size makes it an ideal choice for preparing smaller portions, side dishes, or quick meals with ease.

Advantages

This frying pan stands out due to its high-quality PFOA-free non-stick coating, which allows for healthier cooking with minimal oil and ensures that food releases effortlessly from the surface. The deeper body design adds significant versatility, allowing you to sauté, brown, or prepare one-pan meals without the risk of spilling ingredients over the sides. Furthermore, the ergonomic soft-touch Bakelite handle remains cool to the touch during use, providing a secure and comfortable grip for safe handling while cooking.

Suitable for

• Frying eggs, omelets, and breakfast items
• Sautéing vegetables and aromatics
• Browning meats for smaller portions
• Preparing quick one-pan meals
• Heating sauces and soups

This pan may not be suitable for large family-sized meals due to its 20cm diameter, which limits the surface area for cooking multiple ingredients at once. Additionally, while it is compatible with various heat sources, it is not intended for oven use due to the material composition of the handle.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 20 cm
• Material: Recycled pressed aluminium
• Coating: PFOA-free non-stick
• Handle: Cool-touch Bakelite
• Compatibility: All hob types including induction

To use the pan, place it on a burner that matches the diameter of the base to ensure optimal heat distribution. Preheat the pan on a low to medium heat setting before adding a small amount of oil or butter. Use silicone or wooden utensils to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating and avoid using metal tools that could cause scratches.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 20cm size meets your specific cooking requirements
• Check that your stovetop is compatible with induction cookware if applicable
• Verify that you have appropriate non-metal utensils for non-stick surfaces

Usage recommendations: Hand wash the pan with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to maintain the longevity of the non-stick coating. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, and allow the pan to cool completely before submerging it in water to prevent thermal shock.
