Ask a Question About This Product
This 18cm shallow pan operates on induction and gas hobs in commercial prep kitchens where controlled browning and reduction cooking are required. The non-stick SwissCrystal coating eliminates PFAS compounds and reduces oil usage during sauté and shallow-fry operations. Stainless steel handle withstands commercial dishwasher cycles.
Commercial Application
Shallow pans in this diameter handle single-portion sauces, reductions, and pan-frying tasks during service. The non-stick surface allows cooks to work with delicate proteins and egg-based preparations without surface adherence. Induction compatibility delivers rapid temperature response under high-volume conditions.
Operators use this pan size for plating sauces, finishing proteins, and controlled caramelisation tasks. The 18cm diameter fits standard single-burner stations. Heat retention supports consistent browning across multiple service cycles without surface degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the handle construction?
A: The handle uses 18/10 stainless steel with chromium-nickel alloy composition. This grade withstands commercial dishwasher detergents and maintains structural integrity above 200°C. Rivet attachment points distribute stress during handling.
Q: What load capacity does the non-stick coating support during metal utensil contact?
A: SwissCrystal coating tolerates contact from stainless steel spatulas and tongs during normal sauté operations. Avoid dragging sharp-edged tools across the surface. Coating thickness allows moderate abrasion resistance across 500+ service cycles.
Q: Does the induction base require specific burner wattage for optimal performance?
A: The ferrous base plate responds to induction burners rated between 1200W and 2000W. Lower wattage extends heat-up time. Higher wattage may cause uneven heating on the 18cm diameter surface.
Q: Can this pan withstand commercial dishwasher cycles at 85°C?
A: The pan survives dishwasher temperatures up to 85°C without coating delamination. Hand washing extends coating life in high-volume operations. Avoid alkaline detergents above pH 11.
Q: Is custom sizing available for larger diameter shallow pans with the same coating?
A: Karaca produces this SwissCrystal series in 20cm, 24cm, and 28cm diameters. TurcoBazaar coordinates volume orders for matched pan sets. Lead time for bulk orders is 4-6 weeks from Turkish production facilities.
