Advantages
This frying pan features advanced multi-layer construction that promotes rapid and uniform heat distribution across the entire surface, effectively eliminating hot spots that can lead to uneven cooking. The high-quality stainless steel material is resistant to corrosion and does not react with acidic ingredients, preserving the natural flavors of your food. Its ergonomic handle is designed to stay cool during stovetop use, providing a comfortable and secure grip while maneuvering the pan. Furthermore, the deep profile minimizes splattering, keeping your stovetop cleaner during intensive searing or sautéing tasks.

- Cooking sauces and gravies
- Braising vegetables
- Everyday frying and sautéing
When it may not be suitable
This pan may not be the ideal choice if you require a non-stick surface for delicate items like eggs or thin crepes, as it is made of pure stainless steel. Additionally, those who prefer lightweight cookware might find the solid, professional-grade construction of this pan heavier than standard aluminum alternatives.

How to use
To achieve the best results, preheat the pan on medium heat before adding oil or butter. Once the fat is shimmering, add your ingredients. For searing, ensure the meat is dry before placing it in the pan to promote proper browning. If food sticks initially, wait a few moments; it will naturally release once the Maillard reaction is complete. After cooking, allow the pan to cool down gradually before washing to prevent thermal shock.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the 28 cm diameter fits your primary stovetop burner size.
- Verify that your kitchen storage space accommodates the deeper profile of this pan.
- Consider if you have the necessary stainless steel-safe cleaning tools.
Usage recommendations
For optimal longevity, hand washing with mild detergent is recommended, although the pan is generally dishwasher safe. Avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the surface, and always use a heat-appropriate oil to prevent burning.
