Are you looking for a frying pan that combines the benefits of a strong stainless steel pan with the convenience of a non-stick coating? Then the stainless steel honeycomb frying pan (also known as hexagon or honeycomb) is the innovation for your kitchen. Whether you cook on induction, gas, or ceramic: these pans are designed to last for years without the cooking surface being damaged.
In this article, we explain how the unique honeycomb structure works, why it is the ideal induction pan, and which pans from our range best suit your cooking style.
What is a stainless steel honeycomb frying pan and how does it work?
You can instantly recognize a stainless steel honeycomb pan by the hexagonal pattern on its cooking surface. This pattern is not only stylish but also has a very clever function:
- Protected non-stick coating: The stainless steel grid sits fractionally higher than the non-stick coating within it. This means your spatulas and utensils touch the stainless steel and not the delicate coating.
- Scratch-resistant and durable: Because the coating is protected, you can even use metal utensils without damaging the non-stick layer.
- Perfect fat distribution: Oil and butter spread evenly through the micro-channels of the honeycomb structure. This ensures a crispy result with less fat.
The benefits at a glance
- Suitable for all heat sources: The thick base is ideal for induction hobs, but performs equally well on gas and electric.
- High temperature resistance: Because the base is stainless steel, the pan can withstand higher temperatures than a standard non-stick pan. Ideal for searing meat!
- Easy to clean: Food does not stick and the pan is dishwasher safe (although washing by hand always extends its lifespan).
