Frying Pan Set – 5-ply

No, not if you handle it correctly. We’ve just launched a reinforced construction for our 5-ply frying pans, with a thicker aluminium core that makes the pan more stable and resistant, even at high heat.

As with all cookware, it’s important to heat the pan gradually and avoid sudden temperature changes, such as pouring cold water into a hot pan or using the boost function on induction. Follow these steps and your pan will keep its shape for decades.

Not with the right technique.

5-ply has no non-stick coating, but food releases easily if you cook it the right way. Heat the pan well before adding fat, and let meat form a crust before you move it. It will then release more easily by itself. And if a little fond is left after frying, it’s the perfect base for a tasty pan sauce.

Further up the page you’ll find our guide to cooking with stainless steel, so you can get the most out of your pan.

No. Stainless steel can handle rough treatment, so you can safely use a dish brush and tougher tools. Scratches don’t affect how the pan works.

Most residue comes off easily with hot water and a little soap. Burnt-on stains can be removed with a little vinegar or a stainless steel cleaner. You’ll find our cleaning guide further up the page.

The pan is also dishwasher-safe, but this can cause rainbow and limescale stains, which are easy to remove.

A non-stick coating wears down over time, gets scratched and needs replacing, and what wears off can end up in your food. Non-stick pans also can’t handle high heat or metal utensils.

5-ply has no coating at all. Instead, you get pure stainless steel that handles high heat, metal utensils and daily use without wearing out.

No PFAS, no fragile coatings, and a pan that lasts decades instead of years.

Almost anything. It’s an incredibly versatile pan. 5-ply spreads heat evenly and gives you precise control, so it’s just as good for a steak with a crispy crust as for a creamy pan sauce.

It handles high heat, is oven-safe and works on all heat sources: induction, gas, ceramic and electric.

It lasts for decades. With no coating to wear off, only the steel itself determines how long it lasts, and stainless steel is built to last a lifetime.

Look after the pan and avoid sudden temperature changes, and you’ll never need to replace it. That’s why we offer a 20-year warranty.

One difference is the construction. Our 5-ply is made of five layers with a reinforced aluminium core that is thicker than in most other pans. This gives more even heat distribution, better heat retention and a stronger, more stable pan.

The pan is also made in Italy by a company with over 130 years of experience in steel.

On top of that come a number of well-thought-out details: a pouring rim that makes it easy to pour without spilling, a larger cooking surface thanks to the curved sides, and a CoolGrip handle that fits your hand and stays cool while you cook.
