Samuel Groves Stainless Steel Frying Pan 26cm

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Samuel Groves 26cm stainless steel pan is a multi-ply cookware piece built for professional kitchen use. It combines stainless steel outer layers with an aluminium core to distribute heat evenly across the base and lower sides, reducing the risk of hot spots that can compromise cooking consistency. It works across all hob types, including induction, and is oven safe, which allows dishes to move from hob to oven without changing vessels.
In a working kitchen environment, even heat distribution matters more than it might appear on paper. Sauces that catch at the base, proteins that colour unevenly, or reductions that burn at the edges all create unnecessary waste and slow down service. The tri-ply construction addresses this directly, making the pan reliable for sautéing, pan sauces, and general stove work where consistent temperature across the cooking surface is important.
- Even heat distribution reduces the risk of hot spots and scorching
- Induction compatible and suitable for all other hob types
- Oven safe, supporting stove-to-oven cooking without swapping vessels
- Hollow brushed-steel handle reduces heat transfer during use
- Toughened glass lid with steam vent helps retain heat and moisture
The hollow handle design is a practical detail worth noting — it stays cooler during use than a solid metal equivalent, which matters during a busy service when hands move quickly. The glass lid includes a steam vent to prevent pressure build-up, and a hanging hole in the handle allows the pan to be stored on a pot rail rather than stacked, which helps protect the cooking surface over time.
This pan is well suited to smaller professional kitchens, private dining operations, cookery schools, and hospitality environments where quality cookware is needed without the volume demands of a high-output brigade. It is a sensible single-pan addition or part of a matched set. For kitchens running multiple covers simultaneously and needing a larger cooking surface or heavier-gauge construction, it is worth considering whether a larger size within the range better fits the workload.
If you are putting together a cookware set or unsure which size suits your menu and service style, we are happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Is this pan suitable for daily use in a professional kitchen?
Yes, the Samuel Groves pan is built for professional use rather than domestic. The tri-ply construction holds up well under regular commercial use, though for very high-volume operations running multiple services daily, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge option within the range would better suit the workload.
Does this pan work on induction hobs?
Yes, it is fully induction compatible as well as suitable for gas, ceramic, and electric hobs. This makes it a practical choice for kitchens that operate across different hob types or are considering an induction switch.
What is the best way to maintain the pan's cooking surface over time?
Stainless steel cookware of this type generally benefits from hand washing rather than dishwasher use, which can dull the surface finish over time. Avoiding harsh abrasive scourers will help preserve the interior. Storing on a hanging rail rather than stacking — the handle hole makes this straightforward — also reduces surface wear.
