Stalgast Platinum Aluminium Frying Pan for Induction Hobs, 24 cm

A frying pan that transfers heat quickly and evenly across its base and sides, letting the cook sear, sauté or fry without hot spots. The aluminium core conducts energy from the hob to the food, while the induction-compatible disc on the bottom ensures the pan works on gas, ceramic and induction surfaces alike.

The three-layer Teflon® non-stick coating with the DUPONT® logo creates a slick surface that releases food cleanly and resists scratching from metal utensils. Because the coating is bonded directly to the aluminium, heat spreads without interruption, so the pan reaches temperature faster and holds it longer than pans with separate liners.

The operator places the pan on the hob, selects the ring and sets the power. Once the pan is hot, a small amount of fat is added—just enough to coat the surface—then the food is loaded. The steel handle, coated in heat-resistant epoxy, stays cool enough to grip without a cloth, and its length gives leverage for easy lifting and tossing. After cooking, the pan is removed from the heat and left to cool before cleaning.

The body is made of aluminium, chosen for its light weight and rapid heat response. The base includes an induction-compatible layer that allows the pan to couple magnetically with induction hobs. The interior is lined with Teflon® non-stick coating, while the exterior is finished in a durable epoxy that resists chipping and staining. The handle is riveted to the pan for strength and coated in the same epoxy for a secure, comfortable grip.

The single control is the hob itself, which regulates the heat output. The pan's 240 mm diameter and 45 mm height create a shallow, wide vessel that exposes a large surface area to the heat, speeding up evaporation and browning. The 2.0 L volume holds enough for a single batch of food without crowding, so steam can escape and crisping is even.

Because the non-stick coating is not dishwasher-safe, the pan is cleaned by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent. The epoxy-coated handle and exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth, while the non-stick interior is washed gently to preserve the coating. The pan is stored with care to avoid scratching the surface, and metal utensils are used sparingly to extend the life of the Teflon® layer.

The Platinum series is positioned in the Stalgast catalogue as a mid-range professional frying pan for everyday use in commercial kitchens.
