Pujadas Hercules Aluminium Fry Pan 260mm Non-Stick
£18.86(£22.63 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Pujadas Hercules is a professional-grade aluminium frying pan designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. The 260mm diameter makes it a practical workhorse size — large enough for single portions and smaller sauté work, without being unwieldy on a busy range. It is compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs, which suits most professional kitchen set-ups without requiring any adaptation.
The pan is built around a 4mm thick aluminium body, which gives it decent heat distribution and reasonable durability for day-to-day service. The multi-layer non-stick coating is applied professionally and is rated for resistance to abrasion, meaning it holds up reasonably well against metal utensils and repeated high-temperature use — though, as with any coated pan, longevity depends on how it is handled and cleaned. The coating is PFOA-free, which is increasingly expected in professional kitchens.
The Hercules handle is worth noting. It is made from flat iron with an epoxy heat-resistant coating — a traditional construction that tends to be more robust in intensive use than hollow or plastic handles. It stays cooler than bare metal during normal service, and its flat profile sits securely on the range without rolling.
- Suitable for gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs
- PFOA-free non-stick coating — easy to clean and maintain
- Heat-resistant epoxy handle suited to intensive kitchen use
- Plain base construction keeps cost practical for multi-pan operations
This is a solid entry-level to mid-range professional pan suited to kitchens that need reliable, replaceable cookware rather than premium longevity. For very high-volume operations or kitchens with rough handling practices, a heavier-gauge or uncoated option may prove more cost-effective over time.
If you are equipping a kitchen and are unsure whether this size and specification suits your service style, we are happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is this pan suitable for use on induction hobs?
No — the Hercules range uses an aluminium body with a plain base, which is not induction-compatible. It is suited to gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs only. If your kitchen runs induction, you would need a pan with a ferrous or stainless-clad base.
How durable is the non-stick coating in a busy kitchen environment?
The multi-layer coating is designed for professional use and offers good abrasion resistance, but no coated pan is indestructible. Longevity is significantly affected by cleaning method — avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives — and by whether staff use appropriate utensils. For kitchens with very high turnover or less careful handling, an uncoated aluminium or carbon steel pan may give better long-term value.
What size service is the 260mm pan best suited to?
The 260mm diameter is well suited to single-portion cooking — omelettes, pan sauces, sautéed vegetables for one or two covers. It works well as part of a set of varying sizes on a busy range. If your kitchen regularly cooks larger portions or multi-serve dishes, a larger diameter would be more practical.
