The Pujadas Hercules is a professional non-stick aluminium fry pan designed for daily commercial kitchen use. The 280mm diameter sits in a practical mid-size range — large enough for portions but manageable on a busy line. It is compatible with induction, gas, vitroceramic and electric cooking surfaces, making it a straightforward choice when a kitchen runs mixed hob types.

The non-stick aluminium construction keeps the pan light enough for repeated handling over a long service, while the multi-layer professional coating is built to withstand the kind of continuous use that would wear through a domestic-grade pan quickly. The coating is PFOA-free, which is increasingly expected in professional catering environments. The stainless steel induction base provides the magnetic contact needed for induction hobs while helping the pan sit flat and heat evenly.

In practical terms, the Hercules range offers a few qualities that matter on a working section:

  • The epoxy-coated flat iron handle resists heat transfer and holds securely during service
  • The PFOA-free non-stick coating reduces oil dependency and simplifies cleaning between services
  • Compatibility across hob types means the pan moves between stations without issue
  • Aluminium construction keeps the pan light, reducing fatigue during extended service periods
  • The professional-grade coating is rated for high-abrasion conditions typical of commercial use

As with any coated pan, longevity depends on how it is used and cleaned. Metal utensils and abrasive scourers will shorten the coating's working life — silicone or nylon utensils and hand washing are advisable. For very high-volume operations where pans are turned over rapidly, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty cast iron or carbon steel option might better suit the throughput.

The 280mm Hercules is well suited to café kitchens, pub restaurants, contract catering operations and any kitchen needing a reliable, light-use to medium-use non-stick pan for eggs, fish, sauces and similar preparations. If your volume is higher or your team is harder on cookware, a more robust option from the same range may be worth discussing.

If you are unsure which size or construction suits your kitchen best, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 280mm size suitable for most commercial kitchen portions?

The 280mm diameter works well for single or double portions of eggs, fish fillets, sauces and similar preparations. For kitchens regularly cooking larger quantities in a single pan, a wider diameter would give more working surface and avoid crowding, which can cause steaming rather than frying.

How should this pan be maintained to protect the non-stick coating in a busy kitchen?

The coating performs best when used with silicone or nylon utensils rather than metal, and washed by hand rather than put through a commercial dishwasher. High heat with no food or fat in the pan also degrades non-stick coatings over time, so it is worth ensuring it is not left dry on a hot hob during service.

Is this pan a good fit for a high-throughput kitchen that runs continuous breakfast or brunch service?

For moderate to medium-volume service it is a practical and cost-effective choice. In very high-throughput environments where pans are in near-constant use across a full service, a heavier-gauge carbon steel or cast iron pan often offers a longer working life, as the non-stick coating will experience significant wear under those conditions. It is worth discussing your typical service volume with us before committing to a quantity.
