Karaca Aqua Granite Non-Stick Induction Frying Pan, 26cm, Blue

Q: Does this pan work on LPG or natural gas burners in food trucks?

A: Yes. The aluminium base conducts heat efficiently on gas flame. Induction compatibility is additional, not exclusive. Gas and electric hob use both supported.

Q: What is the usable cooking surface diameter excluding the sloped sides?

A: Flat base diameter is 20cm. Total pan diameter including sloped sides is 26cm. The 20cm flat zone accommodates two 10cm burger patties or four medium eggs.

Q: How does the non-stick coating perform with metal spatulas during service?

A: Granite reinforcement increases scratch resistance compared to standard PTFE. Metal utensils cause gradual wear over 12-18 months in continuous commercial use. Coating integrity depends on utensil pressure and cleaning method.

Q: Is the handle dishwasher-safe or does it require hand washing?

A: Entire pan including handle is dishwasher-safe. Riveted construction prevents water ingress. Commercial dishwashers operating at 60-82°C do not affect handle integrity or coating performance.

Q: What is the recommended procedure for oil residue removal after frying shifts?

A: Wipe excess oil with paper towel while pan is warm. Wash with standard detergent at 50-60°C. Non-stick coating releases carbonised residue without aggressive scrubbing or caustic chemicals.
