GreenPan Frying Pan Première Pro ø 28 cm - without non-stick coating

Forget that pale, limp steak you serve with disappointment. With the GreenPan Première Pro frying pan ø 28 cm, you achieve a deep red Maillard crust on your meat that tastes as it should - rich, savoury, and just like in a restaurant you save for special occasions. This is the pan for those who want to cook seriously, without fuss and without compromise.

Why uncoated stainless steel is the smartest choice for real flavour

Non-stick coatings are convenient, but they have one fundamental limitation: you can't really heat them up. And it's that heat that makes the difference between a tasty dish and a bland meal. An uncoated stainless steel surface can withstand temperatures that would have a coating complaining long ago - and that's exactly the temperature at which meat sears, potatoes turn golden brown, and vegetables caramelise instead of steaming.

The residues left in the pan after searing? That's no problem, that's pure flavour. Deglaze with a splash of wine or stock and you have a gravy in two minutes that you won't get from a packet. That's cooking as it was meant to be: with control, with character, and with a nod to the professional kitchen.

• Perfect Maillard crust - High temperatures sear meat quickly, resulting in a crispy crust - just like in a good restaurant
• Build flavour in the pan - Residues become the base for a rich gravy or sauce, right in the same pan
• Freedom in your kitchen utensil choice - Metal spatula, whisk or tongs? Feel free to use what you want, there's no coating to protect
• From hob to oven - Start on the stove and finish your dish in the oven, oven safe up to 220 °C
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction: your hob is welcome
• 100% PFAS-free - No coating, no PFAS, no worries - pure stainless steel and aluminium

Five layers that make a difference

The Première Pro is no ordinary frying pan. The 5-layer stainless steel/aluminium construction is the heart of this pan: two outer layers of stainless steel enclose three layers of aluminium, ensuring rapid and even heat distribution - not just across the base, but also along the sides. No cold spots, no unevenly cooked steak.

• 5-layer stainless steel/aluminium construction - Three layers of aluminium between stainless steel for fast, even heat distribution across the entire base and wall
• Uncoated cooking surface - Ideal for searing, building flavour, and working with metal kitchen utensils
• Evershine finish - The polished exterior retains its shine and shows no discolouration, even after frequent use
• ProTec edge - The finished edge fully protects the aluminium core, ensuring the pan remains structurally strong for years
• Ergonomic handle - Sturdy, long enough for comfortable use - even when the pan is hot

Adjust the heat, and the pan responds immediately. That gives you the control you need when it matters: when perfectly cooking a ribeye, frying a crispy potato hash, or searing chicken thighs before they go into the oven. The 28 cm diameter is spacious enough for a family meal or a steak for two, without crowding in the pan.

Note: when used in the oven and on the hob, both the pan and the handle get hot. Always use an oven glove or pot holder.

Professional cooking, just at home

The Première Pro collection from GreenPan is made for those who love to cook with care. Whether you're tackling a weekday pasta or preparing an elaborate Sunday dinner for the whole family - this pan effortlessly scales with your ambition. The 28 cm size is the one that works in nine out of ten recipes: large enough for a family portion, compact enough for daily use without cluttering the hob.

And you can feel that construction as soon as you pick up the pan: 1800 grams, sturdy but not heavy, with a weight distribution that feels like an extension of your hand. You won't be putting this pan back in the cupboard - it hangs on the hook above the hob, ready for action.

The water droplet test: how to know when your pan is ready

Many people think that food sticks in an uncoated stainless steel pan. That's true - if you use it incorrectly. But with the right technique, almost nothing sticks. The secret? Temperature.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Place the pan on medium heat and let it warm up slowly - this takes about a minute or two. Then sprinkle a few drops of water into the pan: if they roll together into a shiny pearl that glides smoothly across the base without evaporating, the pan is at temperature. Now add your oil or butter, wait until it starts to shimmer, and place your meat in the pan. This way, almost nothing will stick. This is the technique that professional chefs use daily - and now you will too.

Maintenance: stay beautiful with less effort

Stainless steel has a reputation for being difficult to keep clean, but it's not that bad if you know how it works. A few simple habits and this pan will last for years and remain as radiant as day one.

• Dishwasher safe - But hand washing keeps the stainless steel shining longer and prevents water or soap stains
• Stuck-on residues? - Soak the pan in warm soapy water, and they will dissolve effortlessly
• Discolouration - Rare thanks to the Evershine finish, but a stainless steel cleaner will remove them if needed
• Never add cold water to a hot pan - Always let the pan cool down first to prevent warping
• Always preheat - Heat the pan dry first, then add oil or butter
