- Care Required: It's hand-wash only, so it can't be thrown in the dishwasher.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Bistro in York decided to overhaul its allergen management process after noticing an increase in customer requests for 'free-from' meals. They needed a simple, visual system that their fast-paced kitchen team could adopt without confusion.
"We were using temporary labels which was a hassle. The Hygiplas pans with the purple handles are a permanent, clear solution. The moment a chef picks it up, they know it's for an allergen-sensitive order. It's taken all the ambiguity out of the process."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The bistro has successfully eliminated cross-contamination errors and reports a significant boost in kitchen team confidence when handling special dietary orders.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, give the pan a quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Check that the riveted handle is completely firm and secure.
- Brief your kitchen staff on the purple handle's purpose for allergen control.
- Heat the pan gently for the first use to help settle the coating.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash. A dishwasher's harsh detergents can damage the non-stick coating over time.
- Avoid using metal utensils; stick to wood, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic to prolong its life.
- Try not to plunge a very hot pan into cold water, as the thermal shock can cause warping.
- Use the handle's hanging hook for storage to prevent scratches from other pans.

Explore more from HygiplasMore Than Just Non-Stick: The Teflon Platinum Plus Advantage
Ever wondered what makes a professional non-stick pan different from the one you have at home? It often comes down to the coating, and Teflon Platinum Plus is a cut above the rest. Instead of a single, delicate layer, it’s a robust, multi-layer system engineered for commercial kitchens. Think of it like painting a boat hull – you don't just use one coat of paint. You use primers and multiple, tough layers to withstand constant abuse. That's the principle here. This reinforced system makes the pan far more resistant to abrasion from utensils and the daily grind of a professional service, ensuring your non-stick performance lasts much, much longer.
Who Should Buy This?

- Contract Caterers: Essential for school, hospital, or care home kitchens where managing allergies is a daily priority.
