Expert Review and Insights
The Hygiplas HT970 is a fantastic example of smart, practical design. It’s not trying to be flashy; it’s focused on performance where it counts. The heat distribution is impressively even for an aluminium pan, and the Teflon coating is one of the most resilient I’ve seen at this price point. It’s a solid, no-nonsense tool that prioritises safety and efficiency.

- Top-Tier Non-Stick: The Platinum Plus coating genuinely resists scratches and makes clean-up quick.
- Hand-Wash Only: Can't be thrown in the dishwasher, which slows down the clean-up process.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor & Line, a bustling seafood pub in Whitby, needed to streamline their kitchen process and improve their food hygiene protocols. Their old, mismatched pans were causing issues with flavour transfer between fish and other ingredients.
"Since we switched to these Hygiplas pans for our fish station, the difference is night and day. They heat evenly, the non-stick surface is fantastic for delicate fish skin, and the blue handles make it foolproof for the whole team. It just makes the service flow better."
Robert Davies – Kitchen Manager
The change resulted in a marked improvement in food consistency and helped them achieve a 5-star food hygiene rating during their next inspection.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, give the pan a good wash in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- It's good practice to 'season' the pan by lightly wiping the surface with a little cooking oil.
- Check that the riveted handle is firm and secure – it’s built to be, but it’s always wise to check.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash this pan. A dishwasher's harsh detergents will damage the non-stick coating.
- Use non-abrasive cloths or sponges to avoid scratching the Teflon surface.
- Allow the pan to cool down before washing to prevent warping (thermal shock).
- Use the handle's hook to hang the pan for storage; this protects the surface from damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this frying pan definitely suitable for induction hobs?
A: Yes, absolutely. It features an induction-compatible base, so it works perfectly on all induction cooktops as well as gas and electric.
Q: What is the significance of the blue handle?
A: The blue handle is part of a widely-recognised, colour-coding system for food hygiene. Blue is designated for the preparation of raw fish to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: Can I use metal utensils with this Hygiplas Teflon frying pan?
A: While the Teflon Platinum Plus coating is remarkably tough and scratch-resistant, we always recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to get the longest possible life out of it.
Q: Can I put this pan in the oven?
A: This pan is designed for hob use only. We advise against putting it in the oven, as high oven temperatures could damage the handle.
Q: Is it heavy to use all day?
A: Not at all. It weighs just 0.69kg, making it lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, reducing fatigue during a long and busy service.
Q: What is the actual diameter of the cooking surface?
A: The pan has a top diameter of 192mm, which is perfect for cooking individual servings.
Q: How do I clean it if I can't put it in the dishwasher?
A: It's simple – just use a soft cloth or sponge with warm, soapy water. The non-stick surface means food residue comes away very easily.
Q: What's the best way to store it?
A: The handle has a built-in hole for hanging. Storing it on a hook is ideal as it protects the non-stick surface from getting scratched by other pans.
The Hygiplas Standard: Built for the Daily Grind
Hygiplas has carved out a reputation in professional kitchens for providing equipment that is, above all, practical and reliable. This pan is the perfect embodiment of that philosophy. It's not about unnecessary bells and whistles; it's about delivering on the fundamentals that matter every single day. The combination of a highly conductive aluminium body, a world-class Teflon coating, and an industry-standard colour-coding system creates more than just a pan—it creates operational value. For a business, this translates to reduced food waste thanks to superior cooking control, lower risk of health code violations, and significant long-term savings by avoiding the need to constantly replace cheaper, less durable pans. Investing in a Hygiplas pan is an investment in consistency, safety, and a smoother-running kitchen.
Explore more from HygiplasMore Than Just Non-Stick: The Teflon Platinum Plus Difference
You’ve probably used non-stick pans before, but the Teflon Platinum Plus coating on this pan is in a different league. It's not just a single layer; it’s a three-layer system specifically engineered for the tough environment of a commercial kitchen. Think of it like this: a standard domestic non-stick pan is like a single coat of household paint, whereas Platinum Plus is like the tough, multi-layered, clear-coated finish on a brand-new car. It's built to resist the scrapes and high heat of a professional service far more effectively. This means your pan lasts longer, food releases more cleanly with less oil, and you spend less time scrubbing and more time cooking.
Who Should Buy This?
- Seafood Restaurants: The designated blue handle makes this the perfect pan for a dedicated fish station, ensuring food safety compliance.
- Hotel Kitchens: Ideal for the breakfast rush, cooking perfect individual omelettes or pan-frying kippers to order with speed.
- Local Pubs & Bistros: A reliable and compact choice for creating daily specials or perfectly searing scallops for a starter.
- Mobile Caterers: Its lightweight but durable build makes it an excellent, portable tool for on-site event cooking.
