The Paderno 9 1/2" Non-Stick Steel Frying Pan (Model 11117-24) is a game-changer for commercial kitchens, blending rugged construction with next-level culinary performance. Designed for professional chefs, this pan features a tri-layered aluminum core sandwiched between stainless steel, ensuring rapid heat conductivity and superior heat retention—critical for searing, frying, and sautéing under pressure. Its concave bottom flattens as it heats, maximizing cooktop surface area, while the multiple layers of non-stick coating prevent food from sticking, even during high-heat cooking. Perfect for induction cooktops, this pan meets the demands of modern restaurant kitchens, delivering professional results without the hassle of food adhesion or rim bending. The scratch-resistant stainless steel with a satin polish finish adds a touch of elegance, making it as visually appealing as it is functional.
