KitchenAid Frying Pan Advanced Stainless Steel ø 24 cm - without non-stick coating

You place a piece of meat in the pan and hear that familiar, powerful sizzle. Moments later, you see the perfect golden-brown crust forming - and you know: this is cooking at its best. The KitchenAid Frying Pan Advanced Stainless Steel ø 24 cm is no ordinary frying pan. This is a professional tool for anyone who understands that the Maillard reaction makes the difference between a mediocre bite and an unforgettable moment at the table.

No coating, no compromises. Pure stainless steel with an aluminium core - and that’s exactly where this pan derives its strength.

Why this stainless steel pan will transform your kitchen

• Beautiful, real crust on your meat - Stainless steel conducts heat so well that your steak, chicken breast, or chop gets that delicious golden-brown crust you expect in a restaurant. That’s no coincidence, it’s chemistry - and you benefit from it.
• Make gravy directly in the pan - Those browned bits left after cooking? That’s pure flavour. Deglaze them with some wine or stock and in two minutes you have a gravy that leaves your guests speechless.
• Cooking with metal spatulas - No coating means no rules. Use your metal spatula, tongs, fork - anything goes. No fuss, no damage, no worn layers.
• Suitable for all heat sources - Gas, electric, halogen, ceramic or induction: this pan works on everything. And into the oven at up to 220 °C? No problem.
• PFAS-free and future-proof - No coating also means: no worries about harmful substances. You cook pure, honest, and safe.
• Dishwasher safe - After enjoying, you don’t want to spend hours scrubbing. Just pop it in the dishwasher - done.

The science behind the crust: why stainless steel wins

Many people think a non-stick coating is the easiest choice. And for an egg or pancake? Fine. But for searing meat, browning onions, or sautéing vegetables, a coating actually hinders flavour. A coating prevents the high heat you need for true caramelisation. Stainless steel has no such hindrance.

The aluminium core in the base of this KitchenAid pan distributes heat rapidly and evenly across the entire cooking surface. No hot spots, no uneven cooking. You have control. Whether you’re preparing a steak over high heat or simmering a sauce on low, the pan responds exactly as you want.

And those browned bits? They’re called fond, and they’re worth their weight in gold. Real gold. Deglaze your pan after cooking with a splash of red wine, some chicken stock, or even a bit of water, stir the fond loose with a wooden spoon, and in two minutes you have a gravy that tastes like you’ve been working on it for an hour. That’s the magic of stainless steel - and of good cooking.

Smartly designed for everyday use

KitchenAid has thought about the details that make everyday cooking easier. The curved pouring rim is one such detail. When pouring your sauce or cooking fat from the pan, you do so without a drop spilling. Neat, clean, hassle-free. A small adjustment, a big difference - especially when you want to serve a plate that looks well-presented.

The pan has a diameter of 24 cm - the ideal size for a portion for two to three persons, or for that one perfect ribeye that needs the whole pan. Big enough for a proper meal, compact enough to handle easily.

And then the oven safety up to 220 °C. That opens up a world of cooking techniques: searing on the stove, finishing in the oven. This way, you prepare a perfect chicken thigh or a thick ribeye just like the chefs do - started in the pan, finished in the oven. Result: evenly cooked inside, crispy outside.

No coating - but what about sticking?

Honest answer: a stainless steel pan requires a bit more technique than a non-stick pan. But it’s easier than you think. The key? Let the pan get hot before adding fat, and then add your fat before the food goes in. If your meat or fish sticks a bit, just wait patiently - once it’s properly seared, it will release. That’s the moment. No tugging, no forcing. Just trust the process.

After a few uses, you’ll understand the rhythm of this pan, and then you’ll actually never want to go back. That’s what people who switch to stainless steel always promise - and they’re right.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Always preheat your pan over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Test if the pan is hot enough by dropping a water droplet in the pan - if the water immediately forms a ball and evaporates (the Leidenfrost effect), your pan is ready to cook. Then meat will release perfectly and you’ll get that beautiful crust you’re cooking for.
