Stalgast Platinum Aluminium Frying Pan Ø 360 mm

A frying pan that spreads heat evenly from edge to edge without hot spots relies on aluminium's high thermal conductivity. The metal absorbs heat from the hob and conducts it rapidly across the entire base and side walls, so every part of the cooking surface reaches the same temperature at the same time. This even distribution keeps food from scorching at one spot while staying undercooked at another, and it shortens the time needed to sear or sauté large batches.

The operator places the pan on a gas, electric or induction hob, adds a small amount of oil or fat, and sets the desired heat level. Food is added once the surface is hot; the three-layer Teflon coating prevents sticking even when proteins or sugars caramelise. The ergonomic steel handle stays cool enough to grip without a cloth, allowing the pan to be tilted or lifted with one hand while the other uses a spatula or tongs. After cooking, the pan is removed from the heat and left to cool before cleaning.

The body is formed from a single piece of aluminium, giving a seamless interior that is easy to wipe. The exterior base is left uncoated so it can make direct contact with the hob for maximum heat transfer. Inside, the original Teflon coating carries the DuPont logo and is reinforced to resist scratches from metal utensils during daily service. The handle is riveted to the pan and covered with an epoxy coating for durability and grip.

A diameter of 360 mm creates a wide, shallow cooking area that suits large fillets, whole fish or multiple portions of vegetables. The 55 mm side height keeps splashes contained while allowing easy access with a turner. The 4 L volume indicates how much liquid or food the pan can hold without spilling over when tilted.

Cleaning is done by hand with a soft sponge and mild detergent; abrasive pads or dishwashers would damage the non-stick surface. After washing, the pan is dried and stored with the handle parallel to the worktop to prevent warping.

The pan is designed for hob use only and is not compatible with convection ovens or grills.
