Product Information
Full details
The Karaca Elite 26cm Frying Pan is an ideal choice for home cooks seeking a durable, versatile, and high-performance cooking tool for daily frying, searing, and sautéing tasks. Engineered with premium stainless steel for superior heat distribution, it offers a reliable, non-reactive surface that excels across various heat sources. While it provides excellent longevity and safety through its PFOA-free construction, users should note that as a pure stainless steel pan, it requires proper heat management to prevent food from sticking compared to dedicated non-stick coated alternatives.

FAQs
Can I use this pan on an induction hob?
Yes, the Karaca Elite series is fully compatible with induction hobs as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
Is this pan non-stick?
No, this is a premium stainless steel pan. It does not feature a synthetic non-stick coating, which is preferred for searing and long-term durability.
How do I prevent food from sticking?
Preheat the pan on medium heat, add your cooking fat, and ensure it is hot before adding your ingredients. Avoid high heat until you are comfortable with the pan's heat retention.
Is it safe to put this pan in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is dishwasher-safe, though hand washing is recommended to maintain the exterior finish for a longer period.
Does the pan come with a lid?
No, this product listing is for the 26cm frying pan alone.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is preheated sufficiently before adding oil and food. Avoid moving ingredients too soon after placing them in the pan.
Discoloration on stainless steel
This is often caused by overheating or mineral deposits from water; a simple paste of baking soda and water can be used to scrub and restore the shine.
Pan base not heating evenly
Ensure the hob burner matches the size of the pan base and that the pan is centered properly on the heat source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. When cooking, match the size of your burner to the base of the pan to prevent the handles from overheating and to ensure maximum efficiency.
While the pan is dishwasher-safe, hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the exterior polish over time. Avoid using metal utensils that could scratch the surface; silicone or wooden tools are preferred. If food becomes stuck to the surface, soak the pan in warm water for a few minutes before scrubbing gently.
