FAQs
Is the handle oven-safe?
Yes, the stainless-steel handle is designed to be oven-safe up to 250°C.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
Yes, the patented radiant base is specifically engineered to work efficiently on induction, gas, and electric hobs.
Does the pan contain PFAS or PFOA?
No, the Smeg non-stick frying pan features a PFAS-free ceramic coating.
What is the best way to clean the pan?
For the longest lifespan, hand wash the pan with warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge, even though it is dishwasher-safe.
Will the handle get hot during stovetop cooking?
The stainless-steel handle is designed to remain cool during normal stovetop use, but you should always use an oven mitt when removing it from an oven.
What does 24cm refer to?
This measurement refers to the diameter of the pan's opening, which is the industry standard for sizing frying pans.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the pan
Ensure the pan was not overheated. High heat can damage the non-stick properties of ceramic. Clean the surface thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove any polymerized oil residue.
Discoloration on the base
This is often caused by residue from the hob surface or mineral deposits from water. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to gently polish the exterior base.
Pan is not heating on an induction hob
Verify that the pan is centered on the induction zone and that the zone diameter matches the pan size for proper contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Smeg frying pan, follow these usage and care protocols:
- Pre-heating: Always use low to medium heat settings. High heat can degrade the ceramic coating over time and is rarely necessary thanks to the efficient radiant base.
- Utensil Usage: While the coating is durable, avoid metal utensils. Use silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to prevent surface scratches.
- Cleaning: While the pan is dishwasher-safe, hand-washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the exterior matte finish.
- Compatibility: The pan is fully compatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, and electric glass-ceramic surfaces.
- Storage: Avoid stacking pans directly on top of one another without protective felt or cloth liners to keep the coating pristine.
