This pan from Nisbets Essentials hits that sweet spot between affordability and performance.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby needed to replace their worn-out pans, which were causing inconsistent cooking and slowing down their popular seafood service. They needed a reliable, professional aluminium frying pan that could handle high heat and delicate fish.
"Since we switched to these pans, our service has been so much smoother. The non-stick is brilliant for our lemon sole, it just glides off, and the chefs love how quickly they heat up. Clean-down is a breeze, which is a massive help at the end of a long night."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro has seen a noticeable improvement in food presentation and has reduced pan-related food waste to virtually zero.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the pan a good wash in warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Place the pan on a hob ring that matches its 28cm base size for the most efficient and even heating.
- While it's ready to go, some chefs like to lightly oil a non-stick pan on first use to condition the surface.
Keeping It Going
- Hand wash only! A dishwasher's harsh detergents can damage the non-stick Teflon coating over time.
- Avoid using metal utensils. Stick to wood, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic to prevent scratching the surface.
- Steer clear of abrasive scourers or steel wool. A soft sponge or cloth is all you need.
- Use the hanging hole for storage. Stacking pans can lead to scratches that ruin the non-stick properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this frying pan definitely suitable for induction hobs?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's designed with a compatible base that works perfectly on all hob types, including induction cooktops.
Q: Can I put this pan in the oven?
A: Yes, it's oven proof. This is ideal for searing a steak on the hob and then finishing it in the oven without needing to change pans.
Q: What is the best way to clean this non-stick teflon frying pan?
A: For best results and to prolong the life of the non-stick coating, hand wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid dishwashers.
Q: Does the handle get hot during use?
A: Yes, as it's made from metal to ensure it is oven-safe, the handle will conduct heat. We strongly recommend using an oven glove or a dry cloth when handling.
Q: Can I use metal utensils like a metal fish slice?
A: We advise against it. To protect the Teflon coating from scratches, it's best to use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils.
Q: Why is it hand-wash only?
A: The high temperatures and harsh detergents in a commercial dishwasher can degrade the non-stick coating over time, reducing its effectiveness.
Q: What is the capacity of the pan?
A: This 28cm pan has a capacity of approximately 1.8 litres, making it a great size for main courses and generous portions.
Q: Is the pan heavy?
A: No, it weighs just 0.85kg. Its aluminium construction makes it lightweight and easy to manoeuvre during a busy service.

Explore more from Nisbets EssentialsMore Sizzle, Less Stick: Why a Teflon Coating Matters
Ever wondered what makes a non-stick Teflon pan so... well, non-stick? It's not magic, but it is clever science. Teflon is a special material that creates an incredibly smooth, low-friction surface. Think of it like trying to stand on a perfectly polished ice rink in your socks – there's nothing for anything to grip onto. When you cook, the food proteins and sugars can't find a foothold to bond with the pan's surface.
This means you can cook delicate items like eggs, fish, or pancakes with confidence, using less oil or butter. They'll slide right out onto the plate, perfectly intact. The real win for a busy kitchen, though, is the clean-up. A quick wipe with a soft cloth is often all it takes, getting a crucial piece of kit back into service in seconds, not minutes.
