Construction & Materials

The choice of material directly affects how a frying pan performs, from heat retention to durability. Here are the most common options in our collection:

Cast Iron: Known for excellent heat retention, it improves with seasoning and can last for decades.

Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion and supports high-temperature cooking, often used in professional kitchens.

Cleaning & Care Instructions

Proper cleaning ensures your frying pans last longer and perform better. For non-stick pans, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge to avoid damaging the coating. Hand washing is recommended, though some are dishwasher safe. 

On the other hand, stainless steel models can withstand tougher scrubbing, but avoid harsh chemicals that dull the finish. Lastly, cast iron requires seasoning after cleaning—dry completely, coat lightly with oil, and store in a dry place. 

To keep pans organized and scratch-free, we recommend storing them in durable kitchen drawer organizers.

Expert Chef Tips

Use each pan with the right cooking surface for the best results. Preheat stainless steel before adding oil to reduce sticking, and keep cast iron seasoned to create a natural non-stick layer that adds flavor over time.

You should also protect nonstick coatings by using a wooden spatula or silicone utensils. For the best sear, avoid overcrowding the pan and apply high heat only when necessary to prevent hot spots.
