Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Garden Patch', a busy farm-to-table café in York, needed to streamline their kitchen process to better cater for their large vegetarian clientele. Their old pans weren't induction compatible and lacked any clear identification, causing slowdowns and potential mix-ups.
"We were constantly double-checking which pans were for which dish. The Hygiplas green handle frying pan immediately solved that problem. They work beautifully on our new induction hob, and the non-stick is a dream for our halloumi dishes. It’s made our kitchen flow so much smoother."
Alice Williams – Head Chef
Since implementing the Hygiplas pans, The Garden Patch has significantly improved the efficiency of its vegetarian prep station, reducing order confusion and increasing output by over 20% during the busy lunchtime rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the pan a good wash with warm, soapy water and dry it completely.
- To 'season' the non-stick surface, wipe a very thin layer of cooking oil inside before you heat it up.
- Always place the pan centrally on the hob ring to ensure you get the most even heat distribution.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash by hand. Dishwashers and harsh scouring pads will damage the non-stick coating over time.
- Stick to using wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to prevent scratches.
- Let the pan cool down naturally before plunging it into water to avoid warping the base.
- Use the handle's built-in hook for hanging storage – it protects the surface from being scratched by other pans.

A: Yes, absolutely. It is designed with an induction-compatible base, so it works perfectly on all hob types, including gas, electric, and induction.

Explore more from HygiplasWhat Makes a Riveted Handle So Important?
You'll often see pans with handles that are screwed on or welded. A riveted handle, like the one on this professional 28cm frying pan, is a sign of superior construction. Think of it like the difference between using glue and using bolts to hold something together. The rivets are metal pins that pass through both the pan and the handle and are then permanently secured. This creates an incredibly strong, durable bond that won't loosen or wobble over time, even with the constant lifting, shaking, and heat changes in a commercial kitchen. It’s a small detail that means you can handle the pan with confidence, service after service.
