The Vogue HT980 has a fantastic feel to it; it's balanced, light enough for fast-paced work, yet feels incredibly sturdy.

- Pro-Grade Non-Stick: The Platinum Plus coating genuinely resists scratches better than standard Teflon.
- Care Required: It’s hand-wash only, which can be a drag during a busy clear-down.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner House, a popular gastropub in York, needed to replace their existing frying pans. Their old set was losing its non-stick properties, causing food to stick during the hectic brunch service and increasing washing-up times.
"We needed pans that could keep up with our pace. The Vogue pans are brilliant – nothing sticks, they heat up in no time, and they feel solid. It's made the breakfast shift noticeably smoother."
Robert Green – Head Chef
After the switch, the kitchen reported a 20% reduction in pan-related food waste and significantly faster turnaround on egg and pancake dishes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Before First Use
- Wash the pan thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to remove any residues from manufacturing and shipping.
- Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel before its first use.
- Avoid 'shocking' the pan by placing it on maximum heat when empty; warm it up gradually.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash the pan. Dishwashers use harsh detergents that will degrade the non-stick coating over time.
- Avoid using metal scourers or abrasive cleaning powders. A soft sponge or cloth is all you need.
- While scratch-resistant, using wooden, nylon, or silicone utensils will prolong the life of the coating.
- If stacking pans for storage, place a pan protector or a soft cloth in between to prevent scratches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this frying pan compatible with induction hobs?
A: Yes, the Vogue HT980 is designed to be suitable for all heat sources, including gas, electric, and induction hobs.
Q: Is the handle oven-safe?
A: Absolutely. The strong, riveted steel handle has no plastic parts, making the entire pan safe for use in a commercial oven.
Q: Can I use metal utensils on the non-stick surface?
A: The Teflon Platinum Plus coating is highly scratch-resistant, but for maximum longevity, we recommend using wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils.
Q: What is the best way to clean this pan?
A: To protect the non-stick coating, always hand wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. It is not recommended for dishwasher use.
Q: What is the main benefit of the aluminium construction?
A: Aluminium provides excellent thermal conductivity, meaning the pan heats up very quickly and distributes that heat evenly across the surface, eliminating 'hot spots'.
Q: How much does the pan weigh?
A: The pan weighs 1.43kg, making it sturdy enough for durability but light enough for comfortable use during a busy service.
Q: What is the capacity of this 28cm pan?
A: This pan has a liquid capacity of 1.8 litres.
Q: Why is a riveted handle better?
A: Rivets provide a permanent, incredibly strong bond between the handle and the pan body. This prevents the handle from becoming loose or wobbly over time, a common failure point on pans with screwed-on handles.

You've probably used non-stick pans before, but what makes 'Teflon Platinum Plus' special? Think of it like the difference between a standard car tyre and an all-terrain one. Both do the job, but the all-terrain tyre is specifically engineered with extra reinforcement to handle rough conditions without failing. This coating is the same; it's formulated with unique particles that make it significantly more resistant to abrasion and scratches from metal utensils compared to standard coatings. This means your 'non-stick' benefit doesn't disappear after a few weeks of intense service, giving you a reliable pan that releases food perfectly for much, much longer.
