The polished steel frying pan with handle 26cm, depth 6.5cm by Garcima is an indispensable kitchen utensil for anyone who loves home-made cooking and swears by an authentic, rustic cooking experience. With its high-quality workmanship, it is intended for everyone who appreciates natural materials and wants complete control over food preparation - from students to families and enthusiastic chefs.

This pan is a great choice for anyone looking for versatility in cooking on different heat sources, as it is also suitable for induction. Its robust steel construction offers extremely fast heating and even heat distribution, making it easy to bake, roast or quickly prepare dishes. The main advantage is that you can create incredible flavor and a delicious browned crust on ingredients without relying on chemical non-stick coatings.

With a diameter of over 25 cm and a depth of 6.5 cm, the pan is ideal for preparing breakfasts, dinners or larger portions for company. The steel allows you to create your own patina, which over time improves the natural protection of the surface and ensures that the food tastes better. Since it does not have a non-stick coating, we recommend using a little more fat or a short pre-cooking - this way you will achieve the authentic taste, as in traditional cuisines.

Steel is an extremely responsive material – it heats up very quickly, so you can prepare food in less time and with much greater control over the temperature. This feature is especially evident on induction cookers, as the pan works without any problems even on modern surfaces. The ergonomically designed handle ensures a good grip and safety during use.

The product stands out for its robustness, low maintenance and wide range of uses. A steel pan of this type is extremely durable and even gains in value or surface properties with regular use. Easy to clean, no complicated instructions or special tools - just a little care and everyday use for authentic, homemade flavors.

It is important to know

When choosing the right pan, a sense of universality often prevails, but it is important to understand what an uncoated steel pan of this size means in practical terms. Consider how you will use the pan in terms of cooking, cleaning and expected versatility for different dishes. Diameter and depth can be advantages or limitations, depending on your habits, expectations and the number of people in your household.

• A 26 cm diameter pan is spacious enough to prepare meals for 2 to 4 people, but it can be a bit cumbersome for solo cooking or quickly reheating smaller portions.
• Uncoated steel allows for traditional cooking methods and is very durable, but requires more skill when preparing delicate dishes (e.g. pancakes or eggs), where a coating could make preparation and cleaning easier.
• This pan is suitable for use on induction hobs, which increases its versatility, but beware: some functionalities, such as easier cleaning or preparing delicate dishes, will be limited due to the absence of a coating.
• The greater depth (6.5 cm) is practical for dishes with multiple ingredients or for stewing, but also means slightly more weight and slower heating compared to shallower pans of similar diameter.

In practice

🟢 Everyday cooking of universal dishes

Due to its diameter and depth, the pan allows you to prepare a wide range of dishes, from meat to vegetables; especially suitable for users who want to cover most of their meals with one high-quality pan.

🟢 Preparing larger quantities for several people

The space is sufficient to prepare meals for a family or several visitors at once.

🟡 Preparing delicate dishes (e.g. pancakes, omelettes)

Without a non-stick coating, greater caution and precision are necessary for success, otherwise the food may stick; it is not an optimal solution for frequent preparation of such dishes, especially for less experienced users.

🟢 Use on induction hob

The steel bottom allows for worry-free use on induction, which is essential for anyone with an induction hob.

🟡 Stewing or longer cooking with a lid

The depth of the pan supports stewing or preparing dishes with sauces, but the lid is not included, which may limit the possibilities for some cooking methods.

🔴 Easy cleaning after preparing sticky dishes

The lack of coating requires more attention when cleaning, especially with dishes that tend to stick to the surface.
