GreenPan Chef's Pan Première Pro ø 20 cm / 2.36 Litres - without non-stick coating

Forget the flimsy saucepan that creates hotspots and tests your patience. The GreenPan Première Pro Chef's Pan ø 20 cm is built for anyone serious about sauce making - a conical, uncoated chef's pan made of five layers of stainless steel and aluminium that retains heat, builds flavour, and responds precisely to your needs. This is the pan that transforms a midweek gravy into a memory.

Why this chef's pan will change your kitchen

There’s a reason professional chefs swear by uncoated stainless steel: it creates a fond. Those light, golden-brown bits on the bottom are not an accident - they are pure flavour boosters. Deglaze them with a splash of wine or stock, and in seconds you have the base for a sauce that will have your guests asking for the recipe. The Première Pro is designed for just that: not for quick and fleeting, but for deep and intentional cooking.

• Even heat from bottom to edge - Five layers (two stainless steel, three aluminium) completely eliminate hotspots. Your sauce cooks evenly, even when the pan is filled to the brim.
• Faster reduction - The conical, wide opening allows moisture to evaporate quickly. A thickened red wine sauce or glossy gravy? Less waiting, more enjoying.
• Build flavour like the pros - Uncoated stainless steel creates that delicious fond that gives your sauce character and depth. Deglaze with wine or stock and you have gold in the pan.
• Metal utensils welcome - Whisk, spoon, spatula: anything goes. No coating to worry about, no rules to remember.
• From stovetop to oven - Start the shallots on induction and slide the pan into the oven up to 220 °C. One pan, the whole recipe.
• PFAS-free and uncoated - Pure steel, nothing more. For those who consciously choose a pan without chemical layers.
• Angled walls for maximum control - Your whisk, spatula, or spoon can reach everywhere. Stir into every corner without leaving residue behind.

Five layers that make a difference in taste

The construction of the Première Pro is no accident: 5PLY means two outer layers of stainless steel with three layers of aluminium in between. Aluminium conducts heat rapidly; stainless steel retains that heat and distributes it evenly across the entire base and wall. The result? A pan that heats up without erratic temperature differences, responds as soon as you adjust the heat, and distributes heat evenly - even when the pan is filled to the brim with risotto or a creamy béchamel.

The Evershine finish keeps the polished exterior looking good, even after dozens of washes. The ProTec edge protects the top edge from dents and wear - this is a pan that will look just as stylish five years from now as it did the day you unpacked it. And the sunk rivets on the inside? They are intentionally placed low to keep the inner wall as smooth as possible. Fewer corners for residue to get stuck, and easier to clean.

Uncoated cooking: more flavour, more control

No non-stick coating may sound like a disadvantage to some. It’s actually an advantage - if you know how to work with it. Uncoated stainless steel can withstand high temperatures that would damage a coating. That means you can really heat the pan before you reach the searing point for meat, make caramelised onions, or build that flavourful fond.

The trick: gently preheat the pan over medium heat, then add your oil or butter and let it warm up before placing the food in. This way, uncoated stainless steel behaves almost like non-stick - but without the limitations. And if something does stick: those are precisely the bits that give your sauce the depth that turns a midweek meal into a moment to remember.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Make a beurre blanc or a reduced red wine sauce directly in this pan. Deglaze the fond with a good splash of wine, add cold butter piece by piece, and whisk vigorously - the angled walls give your whisk access everywhere. The result is a smooth, glossy sauce that you can proudly serve.

Versatile on all heat sources

Whether you cook on gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, or induction - the Première Pro works on any heat source. The magnetic outer layer of stainless steel makes induction possible, while the flat base ensures optimal contact with any cooking surface. And because the pan is oven-safe up to 220 °C, you never have to transfer to another dish halfway through a recipe. Start on the stovetop, finish in the oven - one pan, the whole story.

Care: simple and hassle-free

• Dishwasher safe - The Evershine finish prevents discolouration, even after repeated machine washes. Hand washing keeps the stainless steel even more beautiful.
• Stuck-on residue - Soak the pan in warm water with some dish soap. Stubborn stains can be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a splash of vinegar.
• Discolouration from heat - Bluish or golden hues on stainless steel are completely normal and not a defect. A stainless steel cleaner removes this effortlessly.
• Be mindful of heat conduction - The pan and handle get hot when used in the oven or over high heat. Always use a pot holder or oven glove.
