A 28 cm ceramic induction frying pan is a practical choice for many UK households. Its diameter provides space for several portions, while the ceramic coating can help you fry with little oil. However, eye-catching marketing claims do not automatically mean a pan is right for you. Hob compatibility, coating information, rim height, lid and care instructions are the key factors.
Most models are not made entirely from solid ceramic. They are often an aluminium or stainless-steel body with a ceramic coating. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, but it does affect heat conductivity, weight and care requirements. A clear material description should therefore provide details about the pan body, coating and handle.
A pan with a diameter of 28 cm may have a considerably smaller induction base. The base diameter is what matters, not just the width of the upper rim. The product details should explicitly list “induction” or “suitable for induction hobs” as a compatible hob type. Additional checks with the manufacturer may be needed for infrared or halogen hobs.
Even a coated pan is not automatically scratch-resistant or permanently dishwasher-safe. Prolonged heating when empty, high temperatures, metal turners and sudden temperature changes can put strain on the coating. Claims such as “PFAS-free pan” or “dishwasher-safe pan” should always be checked against the manufacturer’s specific instructions.
A ceramic-coated frying pan can make it easier to release food and is often suitable for eggs, vegetables, fish and one-pan dishes. Aluminium conducts heat relatively quickly and can help to reduce weight. Multi-layer stainless steel with an aluminium core, on the other hand, is designed to distribute heat consistently, but may be heavier.
If you are specifically looking for a PFAS-free pan, look for an explicit statement in the product details. The Redchef Starlight Series is described as having a ceramic coating free from PTFE, PFOA and PFAS. With other models, this feature should not be assumed without appropriate evidence.
A shallow 28 cm frying pan is suitable for quick-frying and pancakes. For sauces, braised dishes or larger quantities, a 28 cm sauté pan with a higher rim is more practical. A matching glass lid helps you cook in an enclosed space and can reduce splashes.
The aluminium Naturepan Deep Sauté Pan has a body height of 7.5 cm and is available with a matching lid. According to the product details, the model is suitable for induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs. For use in the oven, the lid must be removed; the stated maximum oven temperature is up to 230 °C.
For coated pans, low to medium heat is generally recommended. Wooden, silicone or nylon utensils reduce the risk of scratches. Allow the pan to cool naturally before cleaning. Even when a model is described as dishwasher-safe, washing it by hand with mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge may be gentler on the coating in everyday use.
Why this product suits this profile: This model combines a 28 cm diameter with induction, gas and electric compatibility, and is designed for everyday tasks such as cooking eggs, meat and pasta dishes.
The product description explicitly lists the compatible hob types and highlights the ceramic coating as free from PFAS, PFOA and PTFE. Metal utensils should be avoided.
Ceramic coating described by the supplier as free from PTFE, PFOA and PFAS; ergonomic Bakelite handle and stated dishwasher suitability.
Why this product suits this profile: The deep design and supplied glass lid are suitable for braised dishes, sauces, steamed vegetables and one-pan meals.
The details clearly distinguish between the aluminium body and reinforced ceramic coating. They also specify the maximum oven temperature, lid usage and care instructions.

A loss of non-stick performance depends, among other things, on temperature, utensils, cleaning method and frequency of use. It is therefore not possible to give a reliable fixed service life for every induction non-stick pan.
No. Ceramic initially describes the coating and does not automatically refer to the pan base. To use a pan on induction, the manufacturer must explicitly state that it is suitable for this type of hob. The base diameter should also match the cooking zone.
That depends on the individual product. Some models are described as dishwasher-safe, while hand washing is recommended at the same time to help protect the coating. The product description and the manufacturer’s care instructions are the deciding factors.
Ceramic coatings are not automatically approved for every high temperature or for oven use. The maximum oven temperature must be observed. For models with a lid, you should also check whether the lid needs to be removed before placing the pan in the oven.
