Amazon Basics Stainless steel frying pan with non-stick coating, suitable for induction cookers, with comfortable handle, 20 cm, Silver

Product Information

The experts unanimously agreed that, while a cast iron frying pan isn't a one-size-fits-all option, it's unbeatable for certain tasks. I did find the pan a little tougher to maintain than the Solidteknics, however, with food harder to scrape off. Samuel Groves has been making quality cookware since 1817 and this hand-cast pan is made from 70 per cent recycled material in Birmingham.

The three layer construction features an aluminum core thoughout both the base and sides of the pan to conduct heat quickly and evenly, while the interior and exterior are made from stainless steel which utilises an elegant brushed finish to add to the modern look of your kitchen, and makes cleaning quick and simple. Dishwashers should be avoided, as it will "fire a load of salt at the surface, which won't do the lifetime of the non-stick much good," says Moran.A helping hand: The helper handle means it's easy to lift and move between your hob, oven and table. If within 90 days of purchase you are not completely delighted with your Le Creuset Cast Iron pan we will give you your money back.

Importantly, the Scanpan can withstand more heat than most non-stick pans – it's ovenproof to 260C, whereas the Tefal pan I tested was limited to 175C.

Use this pan for browning, searing and caramelising your favourite ingredients, as well as all sorts of other day-to-day cooking tasks. Indeed, the rustic-looking pans are rewarding to use, with a clever wooden handle that can be detached with a few twists of a screwdriver, making the pans oven-ready. Non-stick pans are sold ready to use – you don't need to season them – and they should retain their slick cooking surface through multiple uses. Over time, it should develop a natural patina, which will make the pan virtually non-stick without any chemicals too. We also sell forged, stainless steel, copper, enamel and ceramic frying pans from brands such as Tefal, Scoville and our own Dunelm line.Like other iron pans, Netherton Foundry's spun iron pans should last a lifetime, and are induction- and oven-friendly.
