Zinox Clad Tri-Ply Frying Pan, PFAS-Free Non-Stick, Induction Compatible

Non-stick without PFAS or PTFE

Nothing sticks, and there are no forever chemicals in the cooking surface. The G7X ceramic coating is built up in seven layers and reinforced with titanium, so the release lasts instead of thinning out after a season.

Sears like stainless steel, releases like ceramic

The interior is laser-etched into a honeycomb. The raised ridges are bare 18/10 stainless steel and do the browning; the ceramic sits in the valleys between them so nothing catches. Both work at once, which is why you can get a real crust on a steak in a non-stick frying pan.

Quick, even heat from a tri-ply body

Fully clad tri-ply: a pure aluminium core between an 18/10 stainless steel interior and a 430 magnetic stainless exterior, bonded edge to edge to the top of the walls rather than stopping at a disc under the base. Heat spreads fast and reaches the sides, so there is no scorching ring in the middle and no cold edge. It also needs less heat than you are used to.

Every hob including induction, and the oven to 260°C

The 430 magnetic stainless exterior means induction hobs read the pan properly, and gas, electric and ceramic glass all behave the same. Oven-safe to 260°C, so you can sear on the hob and finish in the oven without changing pan.

A sturdy handle that is cool to touch

The handle is a hollow tube rather than a solid bar, and the column of air inside slows the heat coming up from the pan. Riveted to the body rather than welded, and pierced at the end so the pan hangs on a rail.

Easy to clean, and dishwasher-safe

Warm water and a soft sponge after a meal is usually enough to clean the pan. It is dishwasher-safe as well, though washing by hand is gentler on the ceramic and keeps the release working longer. It tolerates a metal spatula too, since the steel ridges meet it before the ceramic does.

Three sizes: 20 cm, 24 cm and 28 cm

Care

Hand washing recommended, in warm water with a mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge; it is also dishwasher-safe, though that is less gentle on it. For stubborn residue, soak for 10 to 15 minutes, then clean with a non-scratch sponge. Avoid bleach and strong detergents. Do not store food in the pan. A little oil wiped over the surface now and then keeps the non-stick at its best. Safety. Always handle hot cookware with oven gloves. Use low to medium heat only. With metal utensils, use a wide-edged spatula; forks and knives can scratch the ceramic.

Warranty

Three-year manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects; excludes excessive heat, improper storage, and pointed or sharp utensils.
