If you want to create an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere in your kitchen, the Garcima steel polished frying pan with handle 36cm, depth 5.5cm will be your new favorite utensil for preparing social dinners and everyday meals. Thanks to its thoughtful design, it allows for fast and even cooking, which will delight all lovers of homemade food and experimenting with flavors.

This steel pan is designed for households that value taste, tradition and practicality all in one. Its large surface area (36 cm) and depth (5.5 cm) provide enough space to prepare large portions - paella, risotto, vegetable dishes or even classic spoon dishes all at once for a whole team of friends or a family lunch.

The pan is made of polished steel, providing a solution for those looking for fast heating and even heat distribution. It works great on a variety of hobs, including induction, which means added flexibility for modern kitchens. The non-stick coating allows for better browning and a natural flavour, while encouraging regular maintenance and care, typical of traditional master chefs.

It stands out mainly for its robust construction and grippy handle, which add a sense of safety and stability while preparing food. Without a lid, the pan is extremely easy to use, perfect for quick frying, baking or preparing dishes that require a crispy crust. If you value culinary freedom and want to upgrade your daily kitchen experience, this pan is a really good ally for creative culinary endeavors.

It is important to know

When choosing a non-coated polished steel pan like this Garcima model, it's essential to consider your cooking habits and priorities - especially if you often prepare delicate dishes or want minimal maintenance. Caution before purchasing is especially advisable if you expect the same ease of cleaning as coated pans or if you cook a wide variety of meals.

• The larger diameter (36 cm) allows you to prepare meals for more people, but the pan may be less convenient to use with small amounts of food or limited space on the hob.
• Because it doesn't have a non-stick coating, the pan requires a bit more skill in food preparation and more precise fat control to reduce sticking - especially with eggs, pancakes or delicate dishes.
• The pan is suitable for induction hobs, which is an important advantage for households with induction, but due to the material, it is necessary to take into account the longer heating time and the necessity of gradual heating for optimal results.
• For uncoated steel pans, regular maintenance (e.g. light oiling after use) is key to maintaining a beautiful appearance and longer life; cleaning can be a bit more difficult than with coated pans.

In practice

🟢 Preparing larger meals for a family or group

The 36 cm diameter pan allows you to cook larger amounts of food at once, making it very suitable for family lunches or parties.

🟡 Preparing delicate dishes (pancakes, eggs)

Since there is no non-stick coating, use for delicate dishes is possible, but requires more control over temperature and fat use.

🟢 Use on induction hob

The pan is certified induction compatible, making it an easy choice for households with induction hobs.

🟡 Cooking with little fat

Without a non-stick coating, cooking with minimal fat is possible, but there is a greater chance that food will stick to the bottom - extra attention is recommended.

🟡 Everyday universal cooking

The pan is useful for a wide range of dishes, but requires a bit more maintenance and adjustment when cooking compared to coated pans.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is this pan really suitable for induction?

How difficult is it to clean an uncoated steel pan?

Cleaning requires a little more effort, hand washing is recommended and, if necessary, lightly oiling to keep the surface smooth.

Cooking is possible, but we recommend using enough fat and precise temperature control, as food can stick to the surface.

Is size 36 cm too big for one person?

It is recommended to dry the pan after washing and lightly oil it to prevent rusting and maintain the smoothness of the surface.
