Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Potted Lobster, a bustling seafood bistro in Abersoch, Gwynedd, needed to upgrade their pans. Their existing cookware was causing delicate fish fillets to tear during service, leading to inconsistent presentation and unnecessary food waste.
"The Hygiplas pan with the blue handle was a simple switch that made a massive difference. Our pan-seared mackerel is a signature dish, and now it comes out perfectly every time. The non-stick is superb, and the team is more confident with the clear colour-coding for our fish station."
Owen Davies – Head Chef
Since implementing the new pans, the bistro has seen food waste on their key fish dishes drop by over 15% and has improved the speed of service during peak times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the pan a quick wash in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- The pan is ready to use immediately on any hob type, including induction – no seasoning required!
- Always match the size of the hob ring to the base of the pan for efficient heating.
Keeping It Going
- Always wash by hand. Using a dishwasher will damage the non-stick coating over time.
- Avoid using metal utensils or harsh abrasive scourers; a soft sponge is all you need.
- Don't overheat an empty pan, as this can degrade the non-stick surface.
- Store by hanging it from the handle hook to prevent other items from scratching the interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this frying pan definitely induction compatible?
A: Yes, absolutely. It features a ferromagnetic base designed to work perfectly on all induction hobs, as well as gas and electric.
Q: What is the purpose of the blue handle?
A: The blue handle is for food safety colour-coding. In the UK and Europe, blue is the recognised standard for equipment used in the preparation of raw fish.
Q: Can I use metal utensils with the Teflon Platinum Plus coating?
A: While it's more scratch-resistant than standard non-stick, we strongly recommend using only wooden, plastic, or silicone utensils to prolong the life of the coating.
Q: Is the pan oven-safe?
A: The pan is designed primarily for hob use. While the aluminium body can withstand heat, prolonged high temperatures in an oven can degrade the non-stick coating and handle over time.
Q: How should I clean it after service?
A: Simply wipe out any excess oil or food and wash by hand in warm, soapy water with a non-abrasive sponge. It is not suitable for dishwashers.
Q: What is the actual capacity of the 24cm pan?
A: It holds approximately 1.4 litres, making it ideal for cooking sauces or individual portions.
Q: Does the handle get hot during cooking?
A: The handle is designed to stay cooler than the pan body, but as with all professional cookware, we advise using a cloth or oven glove when handling during prolonged use.
Q: How does the weight compare to a stainless steel pan?
A: At just over 1kg, this aluminium pan is significantly lighter than a comparable stainless steel pan, making it much easier to handle and toss ingredients.

Ever wondered what the 'Platinum Plus' bit actually means? Think of it like the difference between a single coat of fence paint and a professional, multi-layer car finish. Standard non-stick coatings often have just one or two layers. This platinum plus non-stick frying pan features a unique, triple-layer system from Teflonâ„¢.
This multi-layer construction makes the surface significantly more durable and resistant to the scrapes and scratches that are inevitable in a busy kitchen. While we always recommend using wood or silicone utensils, this extra resilience means the pan's non-stick properties last much, much longer. It’s the key to keeping food from sticking, service after service, not just for the first few weeks.
