- Con: It’s hand-wash only, so you can't just throw it in the dishwasher.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch, a busy Mediterranean bistro in Bristol, was struggling with inconsistent pans that were warping and losing their non-stick coating. They needed a reliable replacement for their high-volume brunch and dinner services.
"We were getting so frustrated with cheaper pans. Food was sticking, and we were replacing them every few months. The Vogue Teflon Platinum Plus frying pan 26cm has been brilliant. It heats evenly, the non-stick is incredible, and our chefs actually enjoy using them."
Maria Costa – Head Chef
The switch has significantly reduced cooking oil usage and has virtually eliminated food waste caused by sticking, improving ticket times during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the pan with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
- To season the pan, lightly wipe the non-stick surface with a small amount of cooking oil.
- Give the handle a quick check to ensure the rivets are firm and secure.
- Confirm your hob type is compatible – this pan is suitable for gas, electric, and induction.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash with a soft cloth or sponge; never use a dishwasher or abrasive scourers.
- Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch and damage the non-stick coating. Stick to wood, silicone, or nylon.
- Allow the pan to cool down completely before washing to prevent thermal shock, which can cause warping.
- Store carefully, placing a pan protector or cloth between pans if stacking to protect the surface.

It's not about bells and whistles; it's about delivering consistent performance under the intense pressure of a commercial environment. Investing in a pan like this means fewer replacements, less money wasted on ingredients ruined by sticking or uneven cooking, and providing your chefs with a tool they can trust.

Explore more from VogueHow a Riveted Handle Keeps Your Kitchen Safer
Ever wondered why professional pans almost always have those little metal bumps on the handle? That's a riveted handle, and it's a crucial safety and durability feature. Instead of being screwed or welded on, the handle is permanently attached to the pan's body with metal rivets that pass right through it.
Think of it like using nuts and bolts instead of glue. It creates an incredibly strong, rigid bond that simply won't loosen or wobble over time, even with constant use and high heat. This means you can confidently lift, flip, and carry the pan without any fear of the handle failing, which is essential in a fast-moving, hot kitchen environment. It’s a simple detail that makes a massive difference to daily use and long-term reliability.
