Product Information
Full details
The Prochef 24cm Frying Pan is an essential tool for home cooks who prioritize precision searing, browning, and flavor development. Designed for those who prefer the durability of uncoated surfaces, this pan offers exceptional heat distribution on all hob types, including induction. While it excels at caramelization, users should note that the lack of a non-stick coating requires active fat management and proper heat control to prevent food from adhering to the surface.

FAQs
Is this pan induction compatible?
Yes, the Prochef 24cm Frying Pan is fully compatible with induction hobs as well as gas, electric, ceramic glass, and halogen.
Can I put this pan in the oven?
Yes, this pan is oven safe up to 220 C.
Is the interior non-stick?
No, this pan features an uncoated stainless steel interior, which is ideal for searing and browning.
How do I clean burnt-on food?
Soak the pan in warm, soapy water. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.
Is it safe for dishwasher use?
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the mirror-polished finish.
Does the handle get hot?
The silicone-coated handle is designed to remain cool during standard stovetop cooking, but caution should be used if placing the pan in a hot oven.
Troubleshooting
Food sticks to the surface during cooking
Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding oil, and allow the oil to reach the correct temperature before placing food inside.
Discoloration or rainbow-like stains appear on the base
This is often caused by overheating or mineral deposits from water; these can be removed by wiping the pan with a little white vinegar or a specialized stainless steel cleaner.
Handle feels warm during cooking
Ensure the flame of your gas stove does not extend up the sides of the pan, which can overheat the handle area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues. This pan is compatible with all stovetops, including induction; ensure you match the pan size to your burner diameter for maximum efficiency. While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to maintain the mirror-polished exterior. If food sticks, soak the pan in warm water or use a stainless steel cleaner to restore the shine. Always allow the pan to cool completely before submerging it in water to prevent warping.
