Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Kitchen in Torquay decided to overhaul their stovetop cookware. Their existing pans were causing inconsistent results on their new induction hobs and were a nightmare to clean during busy weekend services.
"We switched to these MasterClass pans and the difference was immediate. They sit perfectly flat on the induction, heat up in no time, and the non-stick is absolutely brilliant. It’s a solid, reliable piece of kit that my whole team loves using."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
The upgrade resulted in a noticeable improvement in cooking consistency and reduced pan-prep time between orders by over 30%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before first use, give the pan a good wash in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- If using on an induction hob, ensure the pan's base is clean and dry for the best connection.
- While not essential, you can lightly season the pan by wiping a thin layer of cooking oil on the surface before first heating.
- Check that the handle is firm and secure before placing it on a heat source.
Keeping It in Top Condition
- To protect the non-stick surface, always use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils. Avoid metal.
- While it is dishwasher-safe, a simple hand wash is often quicker and will significantly prolong the life of the non-stick coating.
- Never plunge a hot pan into cold water. Allow it to cool down to avoid thermal shock, which can damage the pan.
- When storing, place a pan protector or a soft cloth between pans to prevent scratching the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
A: We strongly advise against it. To maintain the integrity of the non-stick coating for as long as possible, it's best to use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils.
Q: Is this frying pan PFOA free?
A: Yes, the non-stick coating used on this MasterClass professional pan is PFOA free, adhering to modern food safety standards.
Q: What is the best way to clean it after service?
A: For best results and longevity, hand wash with a soft sponge in warm, soapy water. Although it's dishwasher-safe, handwashing is gentler on the non-stick surface.
Q: Will the handle get hot during cooking?
A: The handle is designed to stay cool, but it can get warm with prolonged use on high heat, particularly on gas hobs where flames can lick up the side. It's always good practice to use a cloth.
Q: Is this pan heavy?
A: No, at just 1.04kg, it's designed to be a comfortable weight for daily professional use. It provides a solid feel without the strain of a traditional cast iron skillet.
Q: Will it work on my ceramic hob?
A: Yes, absolutely. It is suitable for all common heat sources, including gas, electric solid plate, ceramic, halogen, and induction hobs.
Q: What can I cook in an oven at 160°C?
A: This temperature is perfect for finishing off a thick-cut steak, braising, or simply keeping a dish warm without overcooking it before it goes out to the customer.
Q: Is the base thick enough to prevent warping?
A: Yes, the cast aluminium construction creates a strong, rigid base that is highly resistant to warping, ensuring it stays flat for perfect contact with the hob surface.

Explore more from Master ClassWhy a Cast Aluminium Body Makes a Real Difference
You often see 'cast aluminium' on professional cookware, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Unlike pressed or spun aluminium pans, a cast aluminium pan is made by pouring molten aluminium into a mould. This process creates a thicker, more rigid body that is highly resistant to warping, even under intense, daily heat changes from the hob.
Think of it like the difference between a standard car door and one on a luxury vehicle; the cast version feels more solid and substantial. This solidity is key to its cooking performance. It allows the pan to absorb and distribute heat incredibly evenly across the entire cooking surface, eliminating the hot and cold spots that cause food to cook inconsistently. You get the fantastic heat control of traditional cast iron, but in a pan that's much lighter and more comfortable to handle during a long, busy service. It's the best of both worlds.
