What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm

Hob compatibility also varies between entries: details specify gas and electric coil, while feature copy adds ceramic and halogen. Confirm the exact material and hob suitability for the selected pan before buying. The listing also says non-induction, and lists the pan as not oven safe or dishwasher safe.

Customer feedback is generally favourable about food release, light weight, useful size and durability. Some describe food as not sticking even after a year, and report good results with fish fillets and chicken breast. These are customer impressions rather than a guarantee of coating life. The pan's 28 cm size and non-stick coating suit those uses, but buyers still need a compatible non-induction hob.
Positive themes
- Customers praise the non-stick performance and report that the pan remains effective with use.
- Customers appreciate its light weight, size and reported durability.
- Customers say it cooks well, including fish fillets and chicken breast, and describe it as good value.
