A 28 cm ceramic-coated sauté pan with lid is a practical addition to the classic saucepan for many UK households. Its deep design is ideal for sauces, vegetable stir-fries, braised dishes and one-pan recipes. At the same time, the diameter provides plenty of room for searing.
However, many shoppers are faced with similar descriptions and unclear product claims. For example, a “ceramic pan” is not automatically made entirely from ceramic. It is often an aluminium or stainless-steel body with a ceramic coating. Terms such as “healthy”, “particularly durable” or “suitable for all hob types” should also be checked against specific product data.
“Ceramic-coated” initially describes only the surface. For your buying decision, it is important to know what material the pan body is made from and which substances the manufacturer states have not been intentionally added to the coating.
If you are specifically looking for a PFAS-free pan or PTFE-free pan, look for clear labelling. Claims such as “without intentionally added PFOA” do not automatically mean that the coating is completely PFAS-free. The manufacturer’s specific information and product documentation are what matter.
An induction sauté pan must have a magnetic base. Compatibility is generally less problematic with gas, electric and ceramic hobs. However, additional restrictions may apply to halogen or infrared hobs.
Oven use is also often described ambiguously. The permitted temperature, the handle material and whether the lid may be used separately are all important factors.
A dishwasher-safe pan may often be placed in the dishwasher, but harsh detergents and high temperatures can put more strain on the surface than gentle hand washing. To help extend its lifespan, you should generally:
An even non-stick surface is important when cooking with little oil. A ceramic coating can make cleaning easier and help food release from the pan. However, the result also depends on the temperature, amount of fat and care.
Aluminium distributes heat comparatively quickly. Multi-layer stainless steel with an aluminium core can also provide even heat distribution, but is often heavier. With hybrid surfaces, shoppers should check whether the textured surface is suitable for delicate foods such as eggs or pancakes.
The terms PFAS-free, PTFE-free and PFOA-free should not automatically be interpreted as a general judgement of quality. They describe the exclusion of certain substances according to the supplier’s information. For the products below, the relevant details are listed in the respective product information.
28 cm generally refers to the diameter at the top. The usable base may be considerably smaller. For example, a Naturepan sauté pan is listed with a base diameter of 21.2 cm and a body height of 7.5 cm.
A 28 cm sauté pan with high sides offers more capacity than a shallow frying pan. This is useful for:
For smaller households, a 24 cm pan may take up less space. If you regularly cook for several people, however, you can benefit from the extra capacity of a 28 cm sauté pan.
A glass lid lets you monitor the cooking process without constantly allowing heat to escape. The handle should be securely attached and suitable for the stated hob and oven use.
Temperature specifications must always be considered separately for the pan and lid. With some models, the pan can be used in the oven up to 260 °C, while the glass lid has a lower limit. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions before use, and always wear oven gloves when removing the pan from the oven.

28 cm diameter, 7.5 cm-high sides, lid included and, according to the product information, dishwasher-safe.
We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Before using the pan for the first time, clean it with warm water and mild washing-up liquid, then dry it. When cooking, low to medium heat is usually sufficient. A ceramic non-stick coating is sensitive to prolonged heating while empty and sudden changes in temperature.
After cooking, allow the pan to cool naturally rather than immediately rinsing it with cold water. Even if a model is labelled dishwasher-safe, hand washing with a soft sponge can help protect the coating. If you notice visible flaking or damage, stop using the pan.
That depends on the construction of the base. A magnetic stainless-steel base or an explicitly stated induction symbol are important indicators. With combination hobs, compare the relevant product information with your own hob.
It is not possible to give a reliable general lifespan. It depends on heat, cleaning, frequency of use and the utensils used. Low to medium temperatures, avoiding metal utensils and gentle cleaning can help extend its service life.
These terms refer to specific groups of substances and, for the products mentioned, are based on the respective supplier information. They do not replace a complete check of the material, instructions for use and product compliance. For everyday use, you should also take account of temperature limits, damage and care instructions.
