Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Inn in Aberystwyth needed to equip their new kitchen extension with reliable cookware that could handle a busy tourist season. Their existing pans were scuffed and losing their non-stick properties, causing service delays and food waste.
"The Hygiplas pans have been brilliant. The red handle system makes it dead simple for new staff to follow our food safety rules, and nothing sticks to them. They've genuinely sped up our grill section because cleanup between orders is so much faster."
Ben Williams – Head Chef
After implementing the new pans, the kitchen reported a 30% reduction in oil usage and could turn tables faster, improving service efficiency during the evening rush.
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.
- While not essential for non-stick, you can lightly season the pan by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface.
- Always ensure your hob is clean and the pan is placed flat on the surface for best heat contact.
- Familiarise your team with the red handle colour-coding system for raw meat to ensure compliance.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the coating, always wash by hand with a soft cloth or sponge – never in a dishwasher.
- Avoid using metal utensils. Opt for silicone, nylon, or wooden tools to prevent scratches.
- Allow the pan to cool down before submerging it in water to prevent warping (thermal shock).
- Use the integrated hanging hook for storage to prevent the non-stick surface from getting scratched by other pans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this pan on an induction hob?
A: Yes, absolutely. This pan is designed with a special base that makes it suitable for all hob types, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.
Q: Why is the handle red?
A: The red handle is for colour-coding. In professional kitchens, red is designated for use with raw meats to prevent cross-contamination with other food groups.
Q: Is this pan oven-safe?
A: It's generally not recommended to put pans with silicone or plastic-coated handles in the oven. This pan is designed for hob use only to ensure the handle's integrity.
Q: What is Teflon Platinum Plus?
A: It's a premium, three-layer non-stick coating from Teflon. It's more scratch-resistant and durable than standard coatings, designed for the demands of commercial use.
Q: Do I need to use a lot of oil?
A: No, one of the main benefits of the high-quality non-stick surface is that it requires minimal oil or fat for cooking, promoting healthier results and saving on costs.
Q: How heavy is the pan?
A: It weighs 1.43kg. It's built to be sturdy enough for commercial use but light enough to handle comfortably throughout a long shift.
Q: How do I clean it properly?
A: Hand wash with a soft sponge and warm, soapy water. Avoid using the dishwasher, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the non-stick coating.
Q: Can I use metal utensils?
A: We strongly advise against it. To prolong the life of your non-stick surface, you should always use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils.

Explore more from HygiplasWhy Teflon Platinum Plus Makes All the Difference
Ever wonder what the 'Platinum Plus' bit actually means? It's not just marketing speak. Standard non-stick is often a single layer, which can scratch and wear away quickly in a busy kitchen. Teflon Platinum Plus, however, is a three-layer system. Think of it like professional-grade exterior paint for a house; you have a primer, a main coat, and a protective topcoat. This multi-layer construction makes the surface significantly more resistant to abrasion from spatulas and general wear and tear. For you, this means the pan lasts longer, food releases more cleanly for better presentation, and you can reduce the amount of cooking oil you use, which is healthier for customers and better for your bottom line.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant Kitchens: Perfect for the grill station, ensuring quick, clean searing of steaks, chicken, and other raw meats.
- Pubs & Gastropubs: An essential for cooking up classic pub grub, from breakfast fry-ups to pan-fried fish specials.
- Mobile & Event Caterers: Its lightweight design and all-hob versatility make it ideal for kitchens on the move.
- School & University Canteens: Helps enforce strict hygiene protocols with its clear colour-coding for high-volume food prep.
