- Pro: The heat distribution is surprisingly even across all three sections.
- Con: Its 160°C oven limit restricts some high-heat finishing techniques.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Full Monty Cafe in Cardiff was struggling with bottlenecks during their morning breakfast rush. They needed a way to speed up service without compromising the quality of their legendary fry-ups.
"This sectioned grill pan professional kitchens need has totally streamlined our morning service. We can get bacon, eggs, and tomatoes on the go at the same time without everything turning into a mess. It's a brilliantly simple solution."
David Evans – Head Chef
The cafe reported that they have cut their cooked breakfast prep time by around 30% during peak hours, leading to faster table turnover and happier customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the pan a good wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- For best results, lightly season the non-stick surface with a thin layer of cooking oil.
- Always ensure the pan is placed centrally on the correct sized hob ring for even heating.
- Confirm your hob type is compatible (this pan works with all of them, including induction).
Keeping It Going
- To protect the non-stick coating, always use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils.
- Avoid abrasive scouring pads; a soft sponge or cloth is all you need.
- Let the pan cool down completely before plunging it into cold water to prevent warping.
- Handwashing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick surface, even though it is dishwasher safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this pan genuinely compatible with induction hobs?
A: Yes, absolutely. It has a steel base plate making it suitable for all stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction.
Q: Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?
A: We strongly recommend against it. To preserve the double non-stick coating, you should use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils.
Q: What is the best way to clean the MasterClass DX378 grill pan?
A: For the longest life, wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. It is dishwasher safe, but handwashing is gentler on the coating.
Q: How heavy is it? It looks quite sturdy.
A: It weighs just 1.36kg. The cast aluminium construction makes it surprisingly lightweight and easy to handle for its size.
Q: How hot can this pan get in an oven?
A: It is oven safe up to 160°C (or 320°F), which is ideal for keeping food warm or for finishing off certain dishes.
Q: Will the different sections cook at different temperatures?
A: No, the cast aluminium body is designed for excellent heat conduction, ensuring the entire base of the pan heats evenly for consistent cooking across all three sections.
Q: Does the handle get hot during use on the hob?
A: The handle is designed to stay cool to the touch during normal hob use, but as with all cookware, it's wise to use caution.
Q: Is the non-stick coating safe?
A: Yes, the double-layer non-stick coating is 100% PFOA, PTFE, and BPA free, ensuring it's safe for commercial food preparation.

Explore more from Master ClassWhat Makes Cast Aluminium So Good for Cooking?
You often see 'cast aluminium' on cookware, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it as the perfect middle ground between lightweight pans and heavy-duty cast iron. The 'cast' part means molten aluminium is poured into a mould to create a solid, dense pan. This structure is fantastic at absorbing and distributing heat evenly, just like cast iron, which gets rid of annoying hot spots that burn one part of your food while leaving another undercooked. But unlike cast iron, it’s incredibly lightweight. So during a hectic service, your chefs can manoeuvre it quickly without the arm strain. It's the secret to getting consistent cooking results without the back-breaking weight.
Who Should Buy This?
