26cm Hybrid Frying Pan with Glass Lid

The everyday pan that does it all.

The Equitherm 26cm Hybrid Frying Pan combines the durability of stainless steel with the easy release of a PFOA-free non-stick coating — so you get the sear of stainless and the cleanup of non-stick, in one pan.

What makes it hybrid?

Unlike traditional non-stick pans that wear out in months, this pan is built around raised stainless steel ridges that protect the non-stick surface from scratches and wear. You can use metal utensils without worry. The 2.5mm thick 3-ply construction (stainless steel, aluminium core, stainless steel) features a thick aluminium core that extends up the sides of the pan — not just the base — distributing heat evenly across the entire cooking surface. No more hot spots that burn your food while the edges stay cool. The thicker construction also means this pan resists warping, unlike cheaper alternatives.

FAQs

What is hybrid cookware?
Hybrid cookware combines the best qualities of stainless steel and non-stick in a single pan. The stainless steel body gives you durability and great heat distribution, while the PFOA-free non-stick coating gives you easy food release and simple cleanup. The raised stainless steel ridges protect the non-stick surface so it lasts much longer than a traditional non-stick pan.

Can I really use metal utensils?
Yes — spatulas, tongs, spoons, and whisks are all fine. The raised stainless steel ridges sit above the non-stick surface, so your everyday cooking tools make contact with steel, not the coating. Just avoid cutting directly into the pan with knives or gouging it with other sharp objects, as that can damage the non-stick surface between the ridges.

Is this pan induction compatible?
Absolutely. The stainless steel base works with all induction cooktops, as well as gas, ceramic, halogen, and sealed plate stovetops.

How is this different from a regular non-stick pan?
Traditional non-stick pans have a thin coating applied directly to aluminium. Over time, the coating scratches and wears, and the thin base warps. Equitherm’s hybrid design protects the non-stick surface with raised stainless steel ridges. The 2.5mm thick 3-ply construction — with an aluminium core that extends up the sides — means better heat distribution, warp resistance, and a pan that lasts years, not months.

Do I need to season this pan?
A quick seasoning every now and then helps maintain peak non-stick performance. Just heat the pan, add a thin layer of oil, and let it sit for a few minutes. It takes less than five minutes.
