Product Information

Full details

The Cooks Professional 26cm cast iron frying pan is designed for home cooks who prioritize durability and heat consistency, making it ideal for frying, searing, and browning tasks. It features a robust vitreous enamel interior that is free from harmful chemicals like PFAS, PFOA, and PTFE, ensuring a safe and non-reactive cooking surface. While it excels in performance and longevity with a 25-year guarantee, users should be prepared for its significant weight of 2.94kg, which requires careful handling during use.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this pan need to be seasoned like traditional cast iron?

No, the vitreous enamel interior does not require seasoning; it is ready to use straight out of the box.

Can I put this pan in the dishwasher?

It is highly recommended to hand wash the pan to preserve the enamel finish and ensure the longevity of the product.

Is the pan safe to use on induction hobs?

Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all hob types, including induction.

What is the maximum oven temperature for this pan?

The pan is oven safe up to 260 degrees Celsius.

Are metal utensils safe to use?

While the enamel is durable, we recommend using wooden or silicone utensils to prevent accidental scratching or chipping.

Troubleshooting

Food is sticking to the surface

Ensure the pan is preheated sufficiently before adding food and use a small amount of oil or butter to create a barrier.

The handle feels too hot during use

Always use an oven mitt or heat-resistant handle cover, as the cast iron handle will become very hot during stovetop and oven use.

Enamel surface shows slight discoloration

Staining can often be removed by soaking the pan in warm soapy water or using a gentle paste of baking soda and water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat distribution and retention
  • Versatile use across all hob types and in the oven
  • Healthy, chemical-free cooking surface
  • Highly durable construction with a 25-year guarantee

Cons

  • Heavy weight (2.94kg) can be difficult to maneuver for some
  • Requires careful hand-washing to maintain the enamel
  • Takes longer to heat up compared to thin aluminum pans

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before first use, wash the pan in warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. While the enamel is robust, avoid using metal utensils that could scratch or chip the surface over time; silicone or wooden tools are preferred. When cooking, gradually increase the heat rather than using the highest setting immediately, as cast iron absorbs heat slowly. For cleaning, wait for the pan to cool completely before washing by hand with a soft sponge. Never use harsh scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the enamel finish. Always ensure the pan is completely dry before storing it to prevent any surface moisture issues.
