Frying Pans

The Vogue 280mm non-stick frying pan is a straightforward aluminium pan with a Teflon coating, designed to work across all hob types including induction. At 280mm in diameter it sits in a practical mid-size range — large enough for a couple of portions but manageable on a busy section without taking up unnecessary hob space.

In a commercial kitchen this kind of pan tends to be used hard across a full service, so the aluminium construction is worth noting. It conducts heat quickly and evenly, which helps with consistent cooking results, though aluminium is lighter-duty than cast iron or carbon steel. For high-heat searing or constant heavy use, a more robust pan may be worth considering. Where it earns its place is in lighter pan work — eggs, fish, sautéed vegetables, sauces — where the non-stick surface and quick heat response are genuine practical advantages.

• Non-stick Teflon coating reduces food adhesion and speeds up cleaning between covers
• Compatible with induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs
• Lightweight aluminium body reduces fatigue during longer service periods
• Quick heat-up supports faster turnaround on lighter pan dishes

It is worth being realistic about non-stick longevity in commercial use. Teflon coatings respond well to correct care — avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaning — but in a high-turnover environment they will wear faster than in a domestic setting. Having a small stock rotation in place is sensible practice.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition frying pan is a straightforward, well-built piece of cookware from a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchens. Constructed from polished stainless steel with an aluminium sandwich base, it is the kind of pan that earns its place on a busy station through reliability rather than novelty.

In practice, the aluminium sandwich construction in the base distributes heat evenly and helps the pan hold its shape through repeated heating and cooling cycles — a common point of failure with lighter cookware used heavily over time. The 200mm diameter makes it well suited to single-portion work: searing proteins, finishing sauces, or handling garnish components without tying up a larger pan unnecessarily.

From an operational standpoint, the pan offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Polished stainless steel interior cleans down quickly between covers
• Easy-pour rim allows controlled dispensing without stopping service
• Stainless steel handle is designed to stay manageable during extended use
• Robust construction holds up to daily commercial kitchen handling

It is worth being clear about its scope: at 200mm this is a smaller pan, most useful for à la carte service where individual portion control matters. It is not intended for bulk cooking or high-volume batch work, where a larger diameter would be more appropriate. It is compatible with gas and electric hobs; operators with induction ranges should confirm compatibility before purchasing, as standard stainless with aluminium sandwich bases vary in induction performance.

This pan is well suited to small independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable everyday frying pan is needed for à la carte or finishing work. If your service volumes or portion sizes call for something larger, there are bigger options in the Matfer Bourgeat Tradition range worth considering alongside this one.

If you are building out a pan set and want to talk through what sizes make sense for your specific menu and service style, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Pujadas Black Pro 280mm fry pan is a cast aluminium non-stick pan designed for everyday cooking tasks in professional kitchens. It sits in the mid-size range for fry pans, making it practical for single portions, omelettes, sautéed vegetables, pan sauces, and finishing work. The induction-compatible base broadens where it can be deployed, covering both induction and conventional hob surfaces.

Cast aluminium construction gives this pan reasonably even heat distribution across the base, which helps reduce hot spots during service. The non-stick coating supports clean food release and keeps cleaning straightforward at the end of a busy shift — useful where kitchen staff are moving quickly between tasks.

• Non-stick surface supports easy food release and faster cleaning
• Induction-compatible base works across hob types
• Cast aluminium body aids even heat distribution
• Practical 280mm diameter suits single-portion cooking and finishing
• Part of the Pujadas Black Pro range for consistent kit across the pass

As a cast aluminium pan, it is better suited to medium-intensity use rather than the most demanding high-heat applications. Kitchens running very high volumes or requiring constant heavy-duty use may want to consider a more robust option from a heavier-gauge range. For most professional kitchens using it as part of a broader set of pans, it performs reliably in its intended role.

This pan is well suited to cafés, restaurant pass work, small hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a dependable, easy-to-clean non-stick fry pan is needed across a range of day-to-day cooking tasks.

If you are building out a full pan set or are unsure which sizes and materials best match your kitchen's workload, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Vogue Tri-Wall Induction Frying Pan is a heavy-duty commercial frying pan constructed with an aluminium thermocore sandwiched between stainless steel walls. This tri-wall construction is designed to distribute heat evenly across the base and lower sides, reducing the risk of hot spots that can cause uneven cooking or scorching — a common frustration with lighter single-ply pans used in busy service environments.

In practice, the thermocore construction makes a noticeable difference when cooking over induction hobs, where heat transfer is direct and intense. The pan responds well to temperature changes and holds heat steadily once at temperature, which helps maintain consistent results across a full service period. The stainless steel exterior is robust enough for daily use in a professional kitchen and handles repeated heating cycles without warping.

Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the need for constant repositioning during cooking
• Induction compatible — works across all induction surfaces
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and maintains hygiene standards
• Heavier tri-wall build resists warping under sustained commercial use
• Suitable for use on gas, electric, and induction hobs

At 240mm this pan is practical for individual portions and smaller batch cooking. It sits comfortably within a standard mise en place setup and is well suited to kitchens running induction stations as part of a modular line. It is worth noting that lids are sold separately if covered cooking or resting is part of your workflow.

This pan works well in cafés, small restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable, multi-hob compatible frying pan is needed day to day. For kitchens with higher throughput requirements or larger batch volumes, a bigger diameter or heavier-gauge option may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out a new induction line or replacing existing cookware and want a steer on what suits your setup, feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Vogue Platinum Plus frying pan is a 280mm stainless steel pan with a non-stick Teflon coating, designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. It handles a broad range of cooking tasks — from sautéing vegetables and reducing sauces to finishing proteins — and is compatible with induction, gas, and electric hobs.

In a busy kitchen, the Teflon coating reduces the need for cooking fats and oils, which helps with both speed of service and plate consistency. Food releases cleanly, which also makes the pan quicker to turn around between covers. The stainless steel construction gives it reasonable durability for a coated pan at this price point, though like all non-stick cookware it benefits from careful handling — avoid metal utensils and abrasive cleaning to preserve the coating over time.

• Non-stick coating reduces oil usage and speeds up between-service cleaning
• Induction compatible for use across common hob types
• Elongated handle keeps hands clear of the heat source during service
• Stainless steel body offers a balance of durability and weight at 1.33kg
• Suitable for sautéing, pan-frying, and sauce work across a wide range of ingredients

At 280mm, this pan is a practical size for à la carte cooking and smaller batch work. It is less suited to high-volume operations where a heavier-gauge or larger pan would give better throughput and longer coating life under sustained use. For kitchens running multiple covers continuously, a more robust option may be worth considering.

This pan suits cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and catering operations where a reliable, easy-clean frying pan is needed for general daily cooking. If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing existing cookware across a team, it is worth discussing volume and usage patterns with us first — we can help you choose the right size and spec for how your kitchen actually works.

The De Buyer Chocinduction is a pressure cast aluminium frying pan with a non-stick coating, designed to work across all hob types including induction. At 320mm in diameter it sits at the larger end of the standard frying pan range, making it a practical choice for operations that need to move volume through a single pan — sautéing vegetables in batches, finishing sauces, or reheating proteins to order during service.

Pressure casting produces a more consistent wall thickness than stamped alternatives, which supports even heat distribution across the base and sides. During sustained service this reduces the likelihood of hot spots that cause uneven cooking or accelerate coating wear. The pan holds its temperature reasonably well between additions, and the non-stick surface makes it particularly well suited to eggs, fish, and delicate proteins that require careful management on bare metal.

Day-to-day operational advantages worth noting:

• Non-stick coating reduces the amount of cooking fat required per service
• Smooth interior simplifies cleaning between covers or at end of service
• Induction compatibility gives flexibility across different hob configurations
• Epoxy-coated stainless steel handle remains manageable during normal service conditions
• Cast construction is more resistant to warping than lighter pressed pans

There are limitations to be clear about. At 1.8kg this is a manageable weight, but chefs panning repeatedly through a long service will notice it at this diameter. The non-stick coating requires reasonable care — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning will shorten its working life, and high dry-heat is not appropriate for this coating type. For sites running very high cover counts where pans are cycled aggressively, a bare-metal option may prove more durable over time.

This pan is well suited to smaller restaurants, hotel kitchens, cafés, and similar operations where a reliable, versatile non-stick pan is needed for everyday service tasks. If you are equipping a larger brigade or have particularly demanding daily use in mind, we are happy to talk through what would suit your kitchen best.

The Pujadas Lyonnaise fry pan is a traditional steel pan in the classic French style — shallow sided, with a flat iron handle and a wide cooking surface relative to its compact footprint. The 200mm diameter makes it a smaller-format option, suited to individual portions and precise, high-heat cookery rather than bulk preparation.

Steel pans of this type are a long-standing choice in professional kitchens because they respond quickly to changes in heat, develop a natural seasoned surface over time, and handle the direct, intense temperatures that gas and induction burners produce during a busy service. They are commonly used for sealing proteins, browning vegetables, and finishing small dishes where control and contact heat matter more than volume.

As a practical working pan, there are a few characteristics worth understanding before use. Steel requires seasoning before first use and benefits from proper maintenance to prevent rust — it is not a low-maintenance option in the way stainless steel is. Operators who use and season steel pans consistently will find they perform well and improve with use; those expecting a neglect-tolerant surface may be better suited to a different material.

• Compatible with gas, induction, vitroceramic and electric hobs, as well as oven use
• Flat iron handle provides a secure grip without adding unnecessary weight
• Develops a natural non-stick patina with regular seasoning
• Responsive to heat changes, supporting precise cooking control

The 200mm size works well for single-portion cooking and is a practical addition to a batterie de cuisine where larger pans already cover volume work. If your operation demands higher-throughput frying or larger batch sizes, a wider diameter would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size and material suits your kitchen's needs, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Pujadas Tribute frying pan is a professional-grade non-stick pan built for daily use across a range of cooking tasks including frying, sautéeing, and searing. Its three-ply construction combines multiple metal layers to deliver consistent, even heat distribution across the base, which is particularly useful when working with delicate proteins or ingredients that require steady, controlled cooking temperatures. The pan is fully induction compatible, making it a practical choice for sites using induction ranges.

In a busy kitchen environment, the CeramiGuard II non-stick surface performs well under regular use, offering reliable food release and straightforward cleaning between services. The multi-metal construction helps the pan respond quickly to temperature changes, which supports consistent results during periods of high throughput. The ergonomic handle is designed to stay cooler during use and provides a secure grip, which matters when pans are moving frequently between hob and pass.

Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Even heat distribution reduces hot spots and supports consistent cooking results
• Non-stick surface speeds up cleaning and reduces the need for excess cooking fats
• Induction-compatible base suits sites running induction cooking suites
• Rivet-free or reinforced rivet system reduces the risk of loose handles over time
• Ergonomic handle supports comfort during extended service periods

At 280mm, this pan is a practical size for a wide range of dishes and is well suited to à la carte operations, hotel kitchens, and restaurant environments where individual or small-batch cooking is the norm. It is worth noting that for very high-volume operations producing large quantities simultaneously, a larger pan or multiple units may be more appropriate than this size alone.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing existing non-stick cookware and would like to talk through the right sizes and quantities for your service style, we are happy to help.

The Pujadas Black Pro 300mm fry pan is a cast aluminium non-stick pan designed for everyday cooking across a wide range of commercial kitchen environments. It sits within Pujadas's Black Pro cookware range, which is built with professional kitchen use in mind rather than occasional domestic cooking.

Cast aluminium construction gives this pan good, even heat distribution across the base and sides, which helps reduce hot spots when frying proteins or sautéing vegetables during a busy service. The non-stick surface supports clean food release and makes clearing down between covers noticeably quicker. It is induction-compatible, making it a practical choice for kitchens running induction hobs or transitioning away from gas.

From a practical standpoint, this size sits comfortably in the mid-range for a single-portion or small-batch pan — well suited to à la carte service, finishing dishes, or use on a live cooking station. Key operational advantages include:

• Even heat spread reduces the risk of catching or uneven browning
• Non-stick surface simplifies mid-service cleaning and changeovers
• Induction-ready base gives flexibility across different hob types
• Cast aluminium keeps the pan relatively lightweight for regular daily handling
• Works across frying, sautéing, and light sauce work

Cast aluminium pans are well suited to moderate-intensity use. In kitchens where pans are subject to very high heat, metal utensils, or heavy abrasion consistently, a heavier-gauge or stainless-steel alternative may offer longer service life. It is worth considering the daily workload this pan will face before committing to a quantity order.

This pan is a practical fit for restaurants, bistros, hotel kitchens, and catering operations running induction or mixed hob setups. If your volume or intensity of use is higher, there are heavier-duty options worth exploring.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or restocking cookware across a section, the team are happy to talk through which pans suit your service style and hob configuration before you order.

The Vogue 200mm Tri-Wall Induction Frying Pan is a small-format pan built for consistent, controlled cooking on induction hobs. Its defining feature is the layered construction: an aluminium core bonded between two stainless steel walls. This sandwich arrangement addresses one of the most common complaints about standard stainless steel pans — uneven heat distribution that creates hot spots and leads to inconsistent results.

In practice, the tri-wall build means heat spreads more uniformly across the cooking surface, which is particularly useful when precision matters — finishing eggs, searing proteins to a consistent colour, or working with ingredients that scorch easily. The stainless steel outer is durable under daily commercial use and straightforward to clean, while the aluminium core does the thermal work. At 200mm this is a smaller pan, suited to individual portions rather than batch cooking.

Key practical advantages include:

• Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots and burnt food
• Induction compatible, making it suitable for modern hob configurations
• Stainless steel construction supports rigorous cleaning regimes
• Lightweight enough at 770g for repeated handling during service
• Suitable for use across multiple cooking methods including sautéing and shallow frying

The 200mm diameter is best suited to à la carte operations, small-plate menus, or breakfast service where individual portions are cooked to order. It is less appropriate where volume cooking or larger batch sizes are required — in those cases a larger diameter or heavier-gauge pan would be a more practical choice.

If you are building out a cookware set or unsure whether this size fits your service style, we are happy to talk through what works best for your kitchen.

The Pujadas Hercules is a professional-grade aluminium fry pan designed for daily commercial kitchen use. The 200mm diameter makes it a compact option well suited to single-portion cooking, sauté work, and finishing dishes during service. It sits within the broader Hercules range from Pujadas, a Spanish manufacturer with a long-standing presence in professional cookware.

The pan is built around a thick aluminium body that distributes heat evenly across the base — an important quality for consistent results when cooking to order under pressure. The multi-layer non-stick coating is applied professionally rather than as a domestic-grade finish, giving it greater resistance to the abrasion that comes with regular use of metal utensils and commercial dishwashing cycles. The coating is PFOA-free, which is increasingly a baseline requirement in professional kitchens.

A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs — not induction
• Flat iron handle with epoxy heat-resistant coating, designed for repeated high-temperature use
• Plain base suitable for direct hob use
• PFOA-free non-stick coating rated for intensive service conditions
• Easy to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

The 200mm size is practical for a la carte cooking but is not intended for volume batch work — for that, a larger pan from the same range would be more appropriate. The plain base design means it is not suitable for induction hobs, so this is worth confirming against your cooking suite before ordering.

This pan is a sensible choice for kitchens running gas or electric ranges where a reliable, lightweight option is needed for regular service. If you are equipping a full section or have questions about which size suits your menu best, feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Pujadas Ergos is an 18/10 stainless steel fry pan designed specifically for professional kitchen use. The 240mm diameter makes it a practical all-rounder for sautéing, pan-frying, and finishing dishes across a range of service styles. It is compatible with induction, gas, vitroceramic, and electric hobs, so it can move between stations or kitchens without restriction.

The pan features Pujadas' Excalibur non-stick coating, which is intended to offer strong abrasion resistance under the kind of repeated daily use that degrades lesser coatings relatively quickly. The sandwich base construction ensures even heat distribution and stable contact with induction surfaces, which matters in kitchens where consistent cooking results are expected during busy service periods.

The Ergos handle is formed from stainless steel tube and shaped to reduce hand fatigue during extended use — a detail that becomes more relevant the longer your team is on the line. Key practical points include:

• Compatible with all hob types including induction
• Excalibur non-stick coating with high resistance to abrasion
• Ergonomic stainless steel handle designed for extended professional use
• Sandwich base for even heat distribution on induction surfaces
• 18/10 stainless steel construction throughout

At 240mm, this pan is well suited to à la carte cooking, individual portion work, and sauce finishing. It is not the right choice for batch cooking or high-volume production kitchens where a larger or heavier-gauge pan would be more appropriate.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or replacing cookware across multiple stations, it is worth having a conversation about the right mix of sizes and gauges for your service style — feel free to get in touch with the team.

The De Buyer Mineral B is a black iron frying pan made from 99% iron with a small percentage of carbon. It arrives with an organic beeswax-based protective coating rather than a synthetic non-stick layer, which means it is free from PTFE and PFOA. The pan is designed to be seasoned over time through normal cooking use, gradually developing a natural patina that improves release properties the more it is used.

In a commercial kitchen environment, black iron pans of this type are a long-established choice for sauté sections and live cooking stations. The iron construction handles high direct heat well and moves from hob to oven without issue. At 280mm, this pan is a practical size for individual portions, side dishes, and finishing work during service. The weight — which is meaningful for a pan of this material — contributes to heat retention, helping maintain cooking temperature when cold ingredients are added. Recovery after loading is steady rather than instant, so it suits kitchens where pans are used continuously rather than for rapid back-to-back high-volume batches.

Key practical points worth considering:

• Builds a natural non-stick patina with consistent use and correct seasoning
• Compatible with induction, gas, electric, and solid top hobs
• Suitable for use in the oven as well as on the hob
• Requires hand washing and light oiling after use — dishwasher use will damage the seasoning
• Will rust if stored wet or left uncared for between service periods

This pan is best suited to kitchens where staff are comfortable working with reactive cookware and are willing to maintain the seasoning properly. It rewards consistent use and correct care with genuinely good cooking performance over a long working life. For operations that need a pan requiring no conditioning routine, a coated alternative may be more practical. If you work across multiple hob types or need a single pan that travels between stations, the induction compatibility here is a useful practical advantage.

If you are unsure whether this style of cookware fits your kitchen's workflow or brigade, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Hercules is a professional aluminium frying pan built for daily use in commercial kitchens. It features a multi-layer non-stick coating applied directly to the pan body, a 4mm thick aluminium construction, and a flat iron handle finished with a heat-resistant Epoxy coating. The coating is PFOA-free. It is compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs, though it is not induction-compatible due to its plain aluminium base.

In service, the pan performs well for sautéing, pan-frying, and slow cooking applications. The aluminium body heats quickly and evenly, which suits operations where speed and consistency matter. The non-stick surface holds up well against the abrasion of regular commercial use, and the Epoxy-coated handle stays manageable during sustained cooking periods without the need for a cloth or sleeve.

From an operational standpoint, the pan offers a few practical advantages for kitchen teams:

• Non-stick surface reduces sticking and simplifies pan cleaning between services
• Lightweight aluminium construction reduces fatigue during extended use
• PFOA-free coating meets current food-safe and health-conscious kitchen standards
• Epoxy handle coating provides heat resistance without adding bulk
• Compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs for flexible deployment

There are a few practical points worth noting. The plain base means this pan will not work on induction hobs. As with all non-stick cookware in commercial use, avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaning materials will extend the life of the coating considerably.

The 280mm diameter suits single-portion and small-batch cooking well. It is a practical choice for cafés, small restaurant kitchens, and prep operations where a reliable, lightweight non-stick pan is needed day to day. Sites with higher volume output or heavier-duty requirements may want to consider a larger or more heavy-gauge option from the range.

If you are unsure whether this pan suits your hob setup or service style, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Pujadas Lyonnaise fry pan is a traditional carbon steel pan designed for general frying, sealing, and browning across a range of cooking methods. The Lyonnaise shape — characterised by its relatively wide, flat base and low, flared sides — gives chefs good pan access and clear sightlines when working at speed. At 320mm this is a practical mid-to-large size suited to à la carte and volume cooking alike.

Carbon steel pans of this type have been a fixture in professional kitchens for generations, and with good reason. They heat quickly, respond well to changes in temperature, and develop a natural non-stick seasoning over time with correct use and care. They are well suited to high-heat work — sealing proteins, sautéing vegetables, finishing sauces — and hold up reliably under the daily demands of a busy service.

Practically speaking, this pan works across gas, induction, vitroceramic, and electric hobs, as well as oven use, which makes it a flexible choice for kitchens running mixed equipment. The flat iron handle keeps the balance straightforward and is compatible with oven transfer without additional tools.

• Compatible with induction, gas, vitroceramic, electric, and oven use
• Wide flat base suits sealing, browning, and general frying tasks
• Develops a seasoned surface with regular use, reducing sticking over time
• Flat iron handle for secure grip and oven compatibility
• Straightforward to clean and maintain with standard kitchen practice

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens where a reliable, general-purpose frying pan is needed across multiple heat sources. For operations requiring larger cooking surface areas or heavier-gauge construction for very high-volume service, higher-capacity options may be worth considering.

If you are building out a new batterie de cuisine or are unsure which pan sizes best suit your menu and service style, the team is happy to talk it through.

This is a 40cm oval frying pan from Vogue's Platinum Plus range, constructed from aluminium with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating. The oval shape distinguishes it from a standard round pan — the elongated profile makes it a practical choice for whole fish fillets, larger cuts of meat, or any portion that simply doesn't fit comfortably in a conventional round pan.

In kitchen use, the non-stick surface allows food to release cleanly with less added oil or fat, which is useful both for consistency of presentation and for keeping service moving efficiently. The extended handle keeps hands well clear of the heat source, and the integrated hanging hook means the pan can be stored on a wall rack rather than stacked — reducing wear on the coating over time.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Oval profile suited to whole fish, rolled fillets, and larger portions
• Teflon Platinum Plus coating for clean food release with minimal oil
• Extended handle for safer handling during busy service
• Hanging hook for rack storage, reducing coating contact damage
• Aluminium construction for relatively quick, even heat distribution

As with any non-stick pan in a commercial setting, it's worth noting that high-heat searing or metal utensil use will shorten the coating's lifespan. This pan is best suited to kitchens where it will be hand-washed and used with appropriate utensils. It is not designed for induction hobs.

This pan suits smaller operations, fish-focused menus, or kitchens needing a reliable oval pan for occasional use. For high-turnover operations where pans are in near-constant use across multiple sittings, a stainless steel or hard-anodised alternative may prove more durable in the long run.

If you're unsure whether this pan is the right fit for your menu and cooking volumes, we're happy to talk it through.

The De Buyer Mineral B is a black iron frying pan made from natural mineral iron and finished with an organic beeswax-based coating in place of synthetic lacquers. It is a straightforward, traditional pan that has remained a consistent choice in professional kitchens because of what it does well: reliable, even heat conduction, a cooking surface that improves with use, and compatibility with all hob types including induction.

In kitchen practice, black iron pans like the Mineral B are favoured for high-heat work — searing proteins, finishing eggs, cooking to order on a busy pass. The 200mm diameter is a single-portion size, well suited to à la carte service where individual portions are cooked quickly and plated directly. The pan heats efficiently across induction, gas, and solid-top ranges, and retains heat well once up to temperature. Over time, with correct seasoning and use, the cooking surface develops a natural non-stick patina that many operators find outperforms coated alternatives in longevity.

• Builds a natural non-stick surface through regular use and seasoning
• Compatible with all hob types, including induction
• No synthetic coatings — straightforward to maintain and re-season
• Single-portion size suits à la carte and pass work
• Iron construction handles sustained high-heat cooking without warping

Iron pans do require some operator awareness. They are not dishwasher safe, need to be dried promptly after washing to prevent surface rust, and should be lightly oiled when stored. Kitchens that expect pans to go through a commercial dishwasher cycle without any maintenance routine are better served by a coated alternative. The beeswax finish protects the pan during transit and storage but is not a seasoning — the pan should be properly seasoned before first use.

This 200mm pan is best suited to smaller-portion cooking in professional kitchens where staff understand iron cookware maintenance. Operations requiring higher-volume output or larger portion sizes should consider a wider diameter from the same range. If you are unsure whether this pan fits your hob setup or service style, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Pujadas Hercules is a professional aluminium frying pan in the 360mm diameter size, designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It carries a multi-layer non-stick coating that is PFOA-free, applied directly to a 4mm thick aluminium body, and is compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic cooking surfaces.

In kitchen practice, the 4mm aluminium construction distributes heat evenly across the base, which helps reduce hot spots during service — a common cause of uneven cooking when pans are used at pace. The non-stick surface holds up well under regular use and is described by Pujadas as long-lasting with high abrasion resistance, making it a practical choice where frying pans cycle through the kitchen multiple times per day.

The Hercules handle is constructed from flat iron with an epoxy coating that resists heat transfer. This style of handle is a traditional commercial design — more robust than cast or welded alternatives at this price point — and is specifically recommended by the manufacturer for intensive use environments.

• PFOA-free multi-layer non-stick coating for safer, cleaner cooking
• 4mm aluminium body for even heat distribution across the base
• Heat-resistant epoxy-coated iron handle suited to intensive service
• Compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hob types
• Plain base construction for straightforward cleaning and maintenance

This pan is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and catering operations that need a reliable workhorse frying pan without significant outlay. It is not induction-compatible, so kitchens running induction suites will need to check hob compatibility before ordering. For sites requiring induction-ready pans or heavier-gauge construction for very high-volume service, alternatives exist within the wider catalogue.

If you are building out a pan stock or want to confirm the right size and coating type for your kitchen setup, the team is happy to help work through the options.

The Matfer Bourgeat Classe Chef is a professional non-stick frying pan built for repeated daily use in commercial kitchens. At 160mm, it is the smaller end of the pan range — well suited to single-portion cooking, finishing sauces, or preparing garnishes alongside a busier main cook line. The construction combines an aluminium body with a multi-coat non-stick surface applied across four layers, which gives it a more durable cooking surface than single or double-coat pans commonly found at lower price points.

In a working kitchen environment, the four-coat non-stick surface helps maintain consistent food release through prolonged service without requiring excessive fat, which is a practical consideration both for portion consistency and for kitchens mindful of dietary requirements. The lightweight build — appropriate for a pan of this size — makes it comfortable to handle during fast-paced service, and the coating holds up reasonably well when utensil discipline is maintained. As with all non-stick cookware, longevity is closely tied to care: avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaning methods will significantly extend the working life of the surface.

• Consistent food release reduces reliance on added fats during service
• Lightweight construction suits rapid single-portion work at the stove
• Multi-coat non-stick surface more durable than budget single-coat alternatives
• Compatible with gas and electric hobs; check manufacturer guidance for induction use
• Easy to clean by hand, reducing turnaround time between services

The 160mm diameter makes this most practical as a secondary or supporting pan rather than a primary workhorse for high-volume output. Sites needing to cook larger portions or handle higher throughput in a single pan should consider a larger diameter from the same range. It is a sensible choice for smaller operations, prep kitchens, or as part of a set covering multiple portion sizes.

If you are putting together a pan kit or are unsure which sizes would cover your service requirements, the team is happy to talk through what would work best for your kitchen setup.

The Vogue 24cm aluminium frying pan is a straightforward, general-purpose frying pan designed for use in professional kitchens. Aluminium construction gives it good thermal conductivity, meaning it heats up quickly and distributes heat reasonably evenly across the cooking surface — useful when speed and consistency matter during a busy service.

In practice, this pan suits a wide range of everyday cooking tasks: sautéing vegetables, frying eggs, searing smaller portions, or finishing sauces. The 24cm size works well as a mid-range workhorse pan — large enough for single-portion or small multi-portion work, without the weight or hob footprint of a larger pan. It is the kind of pan that sees regular, repeated use across a shift without demanding much attention.

• Aluminium body heats quickly, reducing idle time on the pass
• Even heat distribution helps avoid localised burning or uneven cooking
• Triple-riveted handle provides a secure, durable connection under sustained daily use
• Built-in hanging hole supports tidy storage and fast access during service
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive use

Aluminium pans of this type are not induction-compatible, so they require gas or conventional electric hobs. They are also not suited to oven finishing at high temperatures. It is worth noting that bare aluminium can react with acidic ingredients over time, so for tasks involving wine reductions or tomato-based sauces, a lined or stainless alternative may be a better long-term choice.

This pan is well suited to smaller operations, café kitchens, or as part of a wider pan set in a larger kitchen where different sizes cover different stations. For higher-volume sites or kitchens needing induction compatibility, heavier-duty or coated alternatives in the range are worth considering.

If you are putting together a cookware set and want to talk through what combination of pans suits your kitchen setup, we are happy to help.

The Matfer Bourgeat 260mm non-stick frying pan is a professional-grade aluminium pan with a four-coat non-stick surface, designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. The aluminium construction promotes even heat distribution across the base, which helps reduce hot spots that can cause sticking or uneven cooking.

In a working kitchen environment, the four-layer non-stick coating offers more durability than single or double-coat pans commonly found at the lower end of the market. It holds up reasonably well under regular service use, though as with any non-stick surface, care with utensils and cleaning will extend its working life considerably.

Practical benefits in day-to-day service include:

• Even heat spread from the aluminium body for consistent cooking results
• Multi-coat non-stick surface reduces the need for excessive oil or fat
• Relatively lightweight construction at 860g, reducing fatigue on the pass
• Easier cleaning between service periods compared to bare metal alternatives
• Reliable performance for eggs, fish, delicate proteins, and sauté work

At 260mm diameter, this pan is a mid-size option well suited to à la carte cooking, single-portion work, and smaller sauté tasks. It is not designed for high-heat induction hobs unless confirmed compatible, and non-stick surfaces generally require lower to medium heat settings to preserve the coating — worth noting when training kitchen staff in its use.

This pan suits café kitchens, pub restaurants, hotel operations, and small to medium brigade kitchens where non-stick performance and ease of cleaning are priorities over the raw searing capability of carbon steel or cast iron. For kitchens needing a pan more suited to very high heat or induction cooking, a different material may be worth considering.

The Matfer Bourgeat Tradition Pro is a 28cm non-stick frying pan designed for professional kitchen use. Made in France, it features a multi-layer non-stick interior applied to a stainless steel body, giving it the durability expected of a pan intended for regular daily service rather than occasional domestic use.

In a working kitchen environment, the pan's non-stick surface supports consistent food release across a wide range of cooking tasks — from eggs and fish to sautéed vegetables and delicate proteins — without relying on excessive oil or butter. The stainless steel construction keeps it stable under repeated heating and cooling cycles, which matters in kitchens where pans are in near-constant rotation through a service period.

Practical day-to-day advantages include:

• Multi-layer non-stick coating supports cleaner food release with less added fat
• Stainless steel body resists warping under sustained kitchen use
• French manufacture to Matfer Bourgeat's professional specification standards
• Straightforward to clean between covers without specialist care
• Consistent pan size supports portion control and plating accuracy

At 28cm, this pan sits comfortably within the mid-range of frying pan sizes used in professional kitchens. It suits à la carte cooking rather than high-volume batch work — if your kitchen runs large quantities simultaneously, a bigger pan or multiple units may be more practical. It's well suited to smaller brigade kitchens, private dining operations, hotel room service setups, and catering environments where controlled individual cooking is the norm.

If you're building out a cookware set or want to talk through which sizes and quantities make sense for your kitchen's workflow, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue 400mm non-stick frying pan is a straightforward aluminium pan with a Teflon non-stick coating, designed for everyday use across a wide range of commercial kitchen environments. At 400mm in diameter, it sits at the larger end of the standard frying pan range, making it well suited to cooking multiple portions in a single pass rather than working in batches.

In a working kitchen, the aluminium construction offers good heat conductivity, helping to distribute temperature evenly across the cooking surface. The non-stick coating reduces the need for excess oil or fat, which is practical both from a cost and a presentation standpoint — particularly useful when cooking eggs, fish, or delicate proteins that are prone to sticking and breaking up. The pan is induction compatible, so it will work across gas, electric, and induction hob types without needing a separate pan for each station.

Practical day-to-day benefits include:

• Even heat spread across the base, reducing hot spots during service
• Non-stick surface simplifies cleaning between covers or at end of service
• Induction compatibility gives flexibility across different hob configurations
• The elongated handle allows safe transport from hob to pass without tongs or cloths

It is worth noting that non-stick Teflon coatings require reasonable care — metal utensils and abrasive cleaning pads will shorten the working life of the coating. For high-turnover operations where pans take significant daily use, a harder-wearing cooking surface may prove more economical over time. This pan is well suited to light-to-medium-volume kitchens, café operations, pub kitchens, and catering environments where the pan is in use but not continuously on the heat across an entire service period.

If you are equipping a kitchen with multiple covers a night or running a high-frequency breakfast or brunch operation, it is worth having a conversation about which cookware specification will hold up best under your particular demands — the team is happy to talk through the options.

The Vogue 260mm non-stick frying pan is a lightweight aluminium pan with a Teflon non-stick coating and full induction compatibility. It is a straightforward, general-purpose frying pan suited to everyday cooking tasks in commercial and professional kitchen environments.

At this pan size, it handles single-portion work comfortably — eggs, omelettes, sautéed vegetables, fish fillets, and similar lighter frying tasks. The Teflon coating reduces the amount of fat required and makes release of delicate proteins and eggs more reliable during a busy service. As an aluminium pan it heats quickly, which suits fast-paced prep and à la carte cooking where speed of response matters. It is worth noting that aluminium non-stick pans of this type are not suited to high-temperature searing or extended dry use — they perform best in moderate-heat applications where the coating can be preserved.

• Induction compatible — works across modern induction ranges
• Non-stick Teflon coating aids clean release and reduces cooking fat
• Lightweight aluminium construction heats quickly and evenly
• Practical size for single-portion and à la carte service
• Easy to clean between covers, supporting kitchen hygiene and throughput

For kitchens running high volumes or requiring heavy-duty durability over extended service periods, a heavier-gauge or tri-ply pan may be a more suitable long-term investment. This pan is well suited to lighter-use sections, smaller operations, or as a supplementary pan where multiple sizes are rotated through service.

If you are equipping a new section or want to confirm the right size and specification for your service style, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Pujadas Lyonnaise fry pan is a traditional steel pan designed for the everyday demands of a professional kitchen. The Lyonnaise style — characterised by its sloped, flared sides — makes it well suited to tossing, folding and turning, as well as straightforward frying, sealing and browning. At 240mm this is a practical mid-size pan that works across a range of stove-top applications.

Steel pans of this type are a reliable workhorse in professional kitchens because they respond quickly to heat and develop a natural seasoning over time with regular use. Once properly conditioned, the cooking surface becomes progressively more effective at releasing food cleanly, which makes them a practical long-term choice for cooks who prefer direct, responsive heat control over coated alternatives.

It is compatible with gas, induction, vitroceramic and electric hobs, as well as oven use, so it moves comfortably between cooking stations without any compatibility concerns. The flat iron handle keeps the pan stable and straightforward to manoeuvre during service.

A few practical points worth noting: steel pans require seasoning before first use and ongoing care to prevent surface oxidation. They are not suitable for prolonged storage of acidic foods. For kitchens with very high throughput where multiple pans are in constant rotation, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or larger format option would better suit the volume.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens looking for a dependable, traditionally made steel pan for day-to-day frying and sautéing tasks. If you are unsure whether this size is right for your service style or cooking volume, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Vogue 240mm tri-wall copper frying pan is a professional-grade pan constructed from three bonded layers — copper, aluminium, and stainless steel — working together to deliver consistent, even heat across the entire cooking surface. It is a practical choice for kitchens where heat control and cooking consistency matter, whether for searing proteins, cooking eggs to order, or finishing vegetables with precision.

In a busy service environment, uneven heat is one of the most common causes of inconsistent results and unnecessary food waste. The tri-wall construction addresses this directly: the copper and aluminium core distributes heat rapidly and evenly, while the stainless steel exterior provides durability and compatibility with induction hobs. This means the pan can move between gas, electric, and induction stations without issue — useful in kitchens that run mixed hob types or use portable induction units for live or demonstration cooking.

A few points worth noting for day-to-day use:

• Even heat spread reduces hot spots and the risk of localised burning
• Induction compatible — suitable for most hob types without additional equipment
• Open-style handle design limits heat transfer to the hand during extended use
• At just over 1kg, the pan is light enough for comfortable single-handed use
• The 240mm diameter suits individual portions and à la carte service

The open handle design is a considered detail. Rather than a solid full-metal handle that conducts heat along its length, the open construction reduces the surface area in contact with the heat source, making it more comfortable to handle during extended service periods. It is not a substitute for a cloth or glove in high-heat situations, but it does make a practical difference.

At 240mm, this pan is well suited to à la carte kitchens, smaller brigade operations, and prep work where portion-level control is important. It is not designed for high-volume bulk cooking — for that, a larger or heavier-duty pan would be more appropriate. It is a sound everyday working pan rather than a display piece, and the stainless steel exterior holds up well to regular commercial use.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or building out a batterie de cuisine and want to talk through what sizes and materials make sense for your service style, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Hygiplas Platinum Plus is a lightweight aluminium frying pan finished with a Teflon Platinum Plus non-stick coating. At 20cm it sits at the smaller end of the commercial frying pan range, making it a practical choice for single-portion cooking, eggs, sauces, and similar prep tasks rather than high-volume batch work.

In a working kitchen environment, the Teflon Platinum Plus coating performs reliably with reduced oil usage, which helps with both food cost control and plate presentation. The aluminium construction keeps the pan light and responsive to heat changes — useful when speed matters during a busy service. The solid handle includes a hanging hook, which suits the way most professional kitchens organise their smallwares.

• Compatible with all hob types, including induction
• Non-stick coating reduces oil use and simplifies portioning
• Hanging hook aids storage and accessibility on the pass or prep station
• Lightweight aluminium construction supports quick handling during service
• Straightforward to hand wash between uses

Worth noting: at 20cm this pan is best suited to light, regular prep work rather than sustained high-heat cooking or heavy catering volumes. Kitchens needing a pan for larger portions or extended daily frying should consider a larger diameter or a heavier-gauge option. The aluminium construction also means care should be taken to avoid metal utensils, which will shorten the life of the coating.

This pan suits cafés, small restaurants, hotel breakfast operations, and prep kitchens where a reliable, everyday non-stick pan is needed for moderate use. If you are equipping a high-throughput operation or need something built for continuous heavy service, it is worth discussing your requirements with us before ordering.

The De Buyer Chocinduction is a pressure cast aluminium frying pan with a non-stick coating and an epoxy-coated stainless steel handle. At 200mm in diameter, it is a compact pan built for individual portion work, finishing dishes, and light sautéing rather than batch cooking or high-volume production.

Cast aluminium heats quickly and responds well to temperature changes, which makes this pan a practical choice during service for finishing sauces, warming single portions, or preparing delicate items where heat control matters. The induction-compatible base means it performs equally well on induction hobs and conventional gas or electric ranges, which is useful in kitchens where hob types are mixed or subject to change.

Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:

• Non-stick coating reduces food adhesion and speeds up cleaning between covers
• Induction-compatible base works across gas, electric, and induction hobs
• Pressure cast aluminium delivers consistent, even heat distribution
• Epoxy-coated stainless steel handle gives a secure, heat-resistant grip
• Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended service

This pan is best suited to à la carte kitchens, café operations, or any setting where precise, small-portion cooking is a regular part of service. As with all non-stick cookware, the coating performs best with appropriate utensils and should not be exposed to extreme dry heat. Kitchens requiring larger portions or simultaneous multi-item cooking would be better served by a wider diameter option from the same range.

If you are building out your pan stock and want to talk through which sizes and quantities suit your service style, the team is always happy to help you work through it.

The Matfer Bourgeat Elite Pro is a professional non-stick frying pan built for daily use in commercial kitchens. The 320mm diameter makes it a practical all-rounder for sautéing, pan-frying proteins, and finishing sauces during service, sitting comfortably between the smaller pans used for individual portions and the larger formats suited to batch cooking.

The pan is constructed from a combination of stainless steel and aluminium, giving it the heat conductivity needed for responsive cooking while keeping weight at a level that reduces fatigue over a long service. The extra-thick base — reinforced with a ceramic plasma sub-layer and titanium — gives the non-stick surface notably better durability than standard coated pans, which tend to degrade quickly under heavy rotation. In a busy kitchen environment where pans take punishment from high heat, metal utensils, and repeated washing, that resilience matters.

Practical advantages for kitchen operations include:

• Induction compatible — works across gas, electric, and induction hobs without additional kit
• Thick base reduces hotspots and supports even browning across the full cooking surface
• Titanium-reinforced coating offers greater resistance to scratching and surface wear
• Cast iron handle provides a secure, heat-resistant grip under service pressure
• Suitable for professional dishwasher use where the coating remains intact

At 1.81kg, the pan is substantial without being unwieldy, though chefs running high-volume services where pans are lifted and tossed repeatedly should factor that into their choice. For very high-throughput operations, a larger format or a heavier-duty model in the same range may be worth considering.

This pan is well suited to restaurants, hotel kitchens, and contract catering operations looking for cookware that holds up reliably over time rather than requiring frequent replacement. If you are specifying cookware across a brigade or want guidance on the right sizes for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Pujadas Hercules is a professional-grade aluminium frying pan designed for daily use in commercial kitchens. The 400mm diameter makes it a practical choice for high-volume cooking, whether that is sautéing, pan-frying proteins, or finishing sauces during a busy service. The pan carries a multi-layer non-stick coating that is PFOA-free, and the 4mm aluminium body provides enough thermal mass for consistent heat distribution without the weight penalty of cast iron or steel alternatives.

In a working kitchen, the Hercules holds up well under repeated use. The non-stick surface resists abrasion better than lighter consumer-grade coatings, which matters when the pan is being used continuously across a double shift. Heat transfer is even across the base, which reduces the risk of hot spots that can catch sauces or cause uneven browning on proteins. The plain base construction means it sits flat and stable on gas, electric, and vitroceramic hobs.

A few practical points are worth noting before purchase:

• PFOA-free multi-layer non-stick coating for long-term durability
• Compatible with gas, electric, and vitroceramic hob types
• Flat iron handle with heat-resistant epoxy coating for confident grip
• 4mm aluminium body for even heat distribution across the base
• Plain base — not suitable for induction hobs

The Hercules handle is a traditional flat iron design with Pujadas' epoxy heat-resistant coating — a more robust construction than the riveted plastic or hollow steel handles found on lighter pans, and one that tends to hold up better when pans are being moved in and out of ovens or stacked in pass-throughs regularly.

This pan is well suited to professional kitchens running moderate to high volumes where a reliable non-stick frying pan is needed without moving to a heavier forged or cast option. It is less suited to induction hobs due to the plain aluminium base. For very high-volume or continuous-use operations, a heavier-gauge or hard-anodised alternative may offer longer service life.

If you are unsure whether this size and construction suits your particular setup, the team is happy to talk it through.
