Stalgast stainless steel pan 400 mm diameter

A stainless steel pan with a 400 mm diameter spreads heat evenly across its base, allowing food to cook at a consistent temperature without hot spots. The heat source beneath the pan transfers energy through a multi-layer construction that combines conductive metals, distributing warmth quickly and uniformly. This method reduces the need for constant stirring and prevents burning, making it suitable for frying, sautéing and simmering a range of dishes in a professional kitchen.

The operator places the pan on a compatible hob, adds oil or ingredients, and adjusts the heat setting as required. The extra handle provides a secure grip for lifting and manoeuvring, even when the pan is full. Once cooking is complete, the pan is removed from the heat and the contents transferred to serving dishes or storage containers.

The pan is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. The base features an encapsulated multi-layer design that enhances heat conduction while maintaining structural integrity under frequent use. The extra handle is riveted to the side for stability.

A diameter of 400 mm offers ample surface area for cooking larger quantities, fitting comfortably on standard commercial hobs. The 70 mm height provides sufficient depth for stirring and tossing ingredients without spillage. The weight of the pan ensures it sits firmly on the hob, reducing the risk of accidental tipping during use.

Cleaning involves washing the pan with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent, focusing on the base and sides to remove food residue. The stainless steel surface resists staining, but prompt cleaning after use prevents build-up. The encapsulated base should not be subjected to harsh scrubbing, as this could damage the layered construction. The extra handle requires no special maintenance beyond regular wiping.

The pan is designed for use on gas, electric and induction hobs, provided the hob surface is compatible with the pan's diameter and weight. It is placed in the catalogue under professional cookware, alongside other stainless steel pans and utensils.
