Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Olive Branch Deli' in Bristol needed to streamline their process for handling gluten-free orders during the hectic lunch rush. They equipped their allergen-safe station with Hygiplas colour-coded gear, including this purple handle non-stick pan.
"Previously, we used labels and separate areas, but there was always a risk of a mix-up. This pan removed any ambiguity. The chefs can grab it and know it's for allergen-sensitive prep, no questions asked. It's simple, but it makes a huge difference to our peace of mind."
Robert Finch – Owner
The change led to a 100% elimination of allergen-prep errors and increased staff confidence during busy services.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Dry thoroughly and lightly 'season' the non-stick surface by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil inside.
- Heat gently for a minute, then let it cool and wipe away any excess oil.
- It's now ready for use on any hob, including induction.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to prevent warping.
- Hand wash only. Avoid dishwashers as the harsh detergents can damage the non-stick coating.
- Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to avoid scratching the Teflon surface.
- Store by hanging it from the handle hook to protect the coating from scratches in a drawer.
