- Pro: The colour-coding is a simple but brilliant feature for HACCP compliance.
- Con: Being hand-wash only, it requires a bit of manual care after service.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Bridge Inn, a bustling gastropub in Bakewell, Derbyshire, was overhauling its kitchen processes to tighten up its HACCP procedures. Their head chef wanted a foolproof way to segregate equipment used for preparing raw meat to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination during busy periods.
"The Hygiplas red-handled pans were a simple, effective solution. There's no ambiguity; the team knows red is for raw meat, full stop. It's sped up our workflow and gives me complete confidence in our food safety, even when we're flat out on a Saturday night."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
The change resulted in a 100% adherence to their new raw meat utensil policy and simplified new staff training significantly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the pan a good wash in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to ensure the surface is ready for cooking.
- For best results, lightly 'season' the pan by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil on the non-stick surface.
- Heat it gently for a minute or two, then let it cool and wipe away any excess oil.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the pan to cool down before washing to prevent warping.
- Hand wash only – the harsh detergents and high heat in dishwashers can damage the non-stick coating.
- Avoid using metal utensils; stick to wood, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic to prolong the life of the coating.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners on the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this frying pan definitely suitable for induction hobs?
A: Yes, absolutely. The base is specifically designed to be compatible with all major hob types, including induction, gas, and electric.
Q: What is the purpose of the red handle?
A: The red handle is a food safety feature. In the UK's industry-standard colour-coding system, red is used for equipment dedicated to raw meat to prevent cross-contamination.
Q: Can I use metal utensils with the Teflon Platinum Plus coating?
A: While Platinum Plus is more scratch-resistant than standard non-stick, we strongly recommend using wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to maximise the pan's lifespan.
Q: Is this pan heavy to use during a long shift?
A: No, it's designed for professional use. At just 0.93kg, it's lightweight and well-balanced to reduce fatigue during busy services.
Q: Can the Hygiplas HT965 frying pan go in the oven?
A: Due to the silicone grip on the handle, it is not recommended for oven use as high oven temperatures could damage it.
Q: How is the handle attached to the pan?
A: The handle is attached with strong rivets, which is the most secure method for commercial cookware, ensuring it won't become loose or wobbly over time.
Q: What is the best way to clean this commercial non-stick frying pan 24cm?
A: The best method is to hand wash with a soft cloth or sponge in warm, soapy water once the pan has cooled down.
Q: Does the aluminium construction affect the taste of food?
A: No. The high-quality non-stick coating provides a complete barrier between the aluminium and your food, ensuring no flavour transfer.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy Teflonâ„¢ Platinum Plus Makes All the Difference
You've probably seen 'non-stick' on hundreds of pans, but what makes Teflonâ„¢ Platinum Plus special for a commercial kitchen? Think of it like reinforced armour for your pan. Standard non-stick is often a single layer, which can easily get scratched by metal utensils. Platinum Plus, however, is a three-layer system with microscopic, ultra-hard particles blended in.
It’s a bit like comparing a standard painted wall to one with multiple coats of tough, washable paint. The extra layers and reinforcement mean it can stand up to much more punishment from the scrapes and knocks of a professional kitchen. This means your 'non-stick' actually stays non-stick for far longer, ensuring your restaurant non-stick fry pan 24cm delivers consistent performance and saves you money on replacements over time.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for the grill section, ensuring raw meats are cooked safely and efficiently on a dedicated pan.
- Schools & Care Homes: The clear colour-coding system is invaluable for maintaining strict hygiene standards in institutional catering.
- Mobile Caterers: Its lightweight yet durable build and hob versatility make it a superb choice for food trucks.
- Hotel Kitchens: A reliable pan for room service orders or the breakfast rush, where speed and safety are crucial.
