Why this pan will become your new best friend in the kitchen

• PFAS-free and without coating - No non-stick coating means no worries about harmful substances. You cook purely, without compromises.
• Perfect crust, every time - The stainless steel ensures that beautiful, crispy crust on your steak, chicken or fish that you expect from a good restaurant.

• Works on any heat source - Gas, induction, ceramic, halogen or electric: this pan adapts to your kitchen, not the other way around.
• Dishwasher safe - After enjoying, it's easy to clean. Just pop it in the dishwasher.
• Metal spatula? No problem - Without coating, you can safely use a metal spatula or tongs. Go ahead and scratch away.

Tri-Ply: three layers, one goal - perfect heat distribution

The name says it all: Tri-Ply stands for three layers of material that together do something special. The outer and inner layers are made of stainless steel, and right in between is an aluminium core. That combination is clever: aluminium conducts heat quickly and evenly, while the stainless steel provides strength and durability. No hotspots, no areas where food burns while the rest is still raw. The heat distributes all the way to the edge - even the sides get as hot as the bottom. This makes a difference when you're stir-frying a large pan full of vegetables or searing a thick ribeye. Everything cooks evenly, everything turns a lovely golden colour.

The edge of the pan is closed and the inside is seamlessly finished. That may sound like a detail, but it's this kind of detail that determines how long you'll enjoy a pan. No gaps for moisture or fat to creep in, no rust after a few years of intensive use. This is the pan that will still be in top condition when you pass it on to someone else in ten years.

Sear, brown, deglaze - cook like a chef

Stainless steel without coating is the material of choice for those who want to cook seriously. When you place a piece of meat in a hot stainless steel pan, the metal builds up intense heat that quickly sears the outside of your steak or chicken breast. That's the Maillard reaction in action: the chemical transformation that creates that irresistible brown crust full of flavour. A non-stick pan simply can't achieve this level.

And then: those browned bits. After cooking, you see a layer of golden brown residue at the bottom of the pan. Add a splash of dry white wine, stock or just water, scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon or metal spatula, and you have a rich, flavourful sauce in no time. This is deglazing, and with this pan, it's a breeze. This way, you can serve a dinner at home that tastes like it came from a Michelin-starred restaurant.

The 28 cm diameter is just right. Big enough to sear four steaks at once or stir-fry a generous amount of vegetables for the whole family, but compact enough not to be unwieldy. The total length of nearly 50 cm including the handle gives you enough leverage and control.

Clever design, cool handle and drip-free pouring

The cast stainless steel handle is not just any handle. It is designed to stay cool on the stovetop while cooking - so you don't have to grab a pot holder every time you want to move or tilt the pan. Very handy when you're in the middle of cooking and your hands are full. Moreover, the handle is sturdy and gives you a safe, secure feeling when lifting the pan, even when it's filled to the brim.

The curved edge of the pan is another clever detail: you can pour sauces, gravy or excess fat drip-free into a dish or onto your plate. No stains on the countertop, no fuss. The measurement markings on the inside also help you quickly estimate the right amounts without needing to grab a measuring cup.

And when your dish needs a little time in the oven - to finish cooking a piece of meat after searing, or to caramelise vegetables a bit more - you can simply slide the pan into the oven. Oven safe up to 220 °C, including the handle. This is how a pan should think along with you.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Want to sear meat perfectly? Let the pan preheat well over medium heat before adding the meat. Pat your meat dry with kitchen paper and add a small splash of oil to the pan - never to the meat itself. Once the oil starts to lightly smoke, place the meat in and don't touch it for the first two minutes. That way, you'll naturally create that perfect crust.
