Garcima steel polished frying pan with handle 24cm, depth 7cm 178000394 is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a classic, robust and practical frying pan in their kitchen, which will delight both beginners and experienced cooking enthusiasts. The product brings the simplicity of natural steel and versatility, as it allows the preparation of many dishes - from frying to baking in the oven or on an induction hob.

This pan is perfect for consumers who value natural materials, traditional food preparation, and are looking for a non-stick pan. It is also suitable for those who want maximum temperature control and like to experiment with different recipes.

The pan is made of polished steel without additional coatings, which means it is completely natural and suitable for anyone who wants to control the seasoning process of the surface themselves. Due to its robust design with a 24 cm diameter and 7 cm depth, it is ideal for preparing larger quantities of food or dishes that require higher edges (e.g. risottos, sauces, stews). The handle made of the same material ensures safe handling and easy use on all heat sources, including induction.

A non-stick steel pan allows for better caramelization and browning of foods, as the high temperature helps create rich flavors. With regular use and proper maintenance, it will eventually develop a natural non-stick effect, which is especially popular with lovers of traditional cuisine. The absence of a lid limits direct braising or slow cooking, but the high edges partially compensate for this function and allow for a wider range of dishes.

The special feature of this pan is its full compatibility with induction hobs, which makes it a modern appliance - while maintaining the classic feel of steel cookware. The polished surface makes it easy to clean, while the pan is compact and practical for everyday use. Thanks to its timeless design and natural properties, it will prolong every cooking experience, encouraging creative and healthy cooking without unnecessary additives.

It is important to know

When choosing a non-stick, polished steel pan, it's crucial to understand the balance between usability, maintenance requirements, and the types of dishes you'll be making. Focus on stovetop compatibility, the size of the pan compared to your needs, and the realistic limitations of a non-stick pan.

• A non-stick steel pan requires good prep and a bit more attention when cleaning—it's not suitable for those who want easy food storage or quick cleanup.
• The 24 cm diameter and 7 cm depth are optimal for preparing smaller meals (e.g. for one or two people) and for baking where the height of the edges is important, for example with sauces, vegetables or smaller pieces of meat.
• The ability to be used on an induction hob means this pan can be a practical choice for the modern kitchen where induction compatibility is key.
• A pan without a lid is less suitable for long-term stewing or foods that lose moisture quickly—consider whether you often prepare such dishes.

In practice

🟢 Cooking small meals every day

Very suitable - the 24 cm size and depth of the pan support the preparation of quick dishes for one to two people, such as eggs, vegetables or smaller pieces of meat.

🟡 Preparing delicate dishes (pancakes, omelettes)

Suitable with limitations – due to the absence of non-stick coating, preparing these dishes will require more experience and additional fat to avoid sticking.

🟢 Use on induction hob

Very suitable – the pan is certified suitable for induction, so you can use it on a modern induction hob without worry.

🟡 Stewing or making sauces

Suitable with limitations – the depth of the pan allows for stewing, but the absence of a lid limits its usefulness in cooking where you want to retain moisture or heat for a longer period of time.

🔴 Preparing larger amounts of food at the same time

Less suitable - a diameter of up to 25 cm is limited if you often cook larger quantities or for several people, as you quickly run out of space for turning or roasting food.
