- Con: The 160°C oven limit is fine for warming but not for high-heat roasting.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of Cardiff, needed to replace their ageing, heavy pans that were causing sticking issues during their busy breakfast service.
"The MasterClass pans are brilliant. They're light, the non-stick is fantastic, and they heat up in a flash on our induction hob. The team can work faster, and we're not losing product to a sticky pan. It's made the morning rush much smoother."
David Chen – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The upgrade resulted in a measurable reduction in food waste and cut down pan-scrubbing time by over 30% each day.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the pan a quick wash in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- While not essential for non-stick, you can 'season' it by lightly wiping the interior with cooking oil.
- Always ensure the pan is placed centrally on your hob ring for the best heat distribution.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the non-stick surface, stick to wooden, nylon, or silicone utensils. Avoid metal.
- Allow the pan to cool down before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can damage the coating over time.
- While dishwasher safe, a simple hand wash is often quicker and will help prolong the life of the non-stick layer.
- When storing, place a pan protector or a sheet of kitchen roll inside to prevent scratches from other cookware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the non-stick coating durable for commercial use?
A: Yes, the MasterClass commercial frying pan features a robust non-stick coating designed for frequent use. To maximise its lifespan, avoid metal utensils and harsh abrasive cleaners.
Q: Can I use this pan on a gas hob?
A: Absolutely. This pan is suitable for all common heat sources, including gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, and induction.
Q: What does 'cast aluminium' mean for my cooking?
A: It means the pan will heat up very quickly and evenly, eliminating the hot and cold spots you get with cheaper, thinner pans. This gives you more control and better results.
Q: Is this pan heavy?
A: No, at just 0.64kg, it's very lightweight. This makes it easy to handle during a busy service and reduces strain on the wrist.
Q: Is the handle oven safe as well?
A: Yes, the entire pan, including the handle, is oven safe up to 160°C (320°F). This is great for finishing a dish or keeping it warm.
Q: What's the best way to clean it?
A: It is dishwasher safe for convenience. However, for the best long-term care of the non-stick surface, a simple wash by hand with a soft sponge and soapy water is recommended.
Q: How big is the actual cooking surface?
A: The pan has a cooking surface diameter of 200mm (or 8 inches), which is ideal for single servings or side dishes.
Q: Does 'induction compatible' mean it will work better on induction?
A: It means it's specifically built with a magnetic base to work on induction hobs, which require it. It performs excellently on all other hob types as well.

Explore more from Master ClassWhy a Cast Aluminium Body Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered why some pans cook food perfectly evenly while others burn it in one spot and leave it raw in another? The secret is often in the material. Think of a thin, cheap pan like a single-glazed window on a winter's day – heat rushes in and out, creating wild temperature swings and cold spots. This MasterClass pan's cast aluminium body, however, is more like a well-insulated, double-glazed window.
When you place it on the hob, the heat doesn't just hit one spot; it spreads quickly and evenly throughout the entire base and sides of the pan. It then holds that temperature steady. This means no more chasing your ingredients around to find the 'hot spot'. Whether you're making a delicate crêpe or frying an egg, the whole surface works for you, giving you consistent, reliable results and much greater control.
