Full details
The Smeg 28cm frying pan is ideal for home cooks who appreciate a blend of iconic mid-century aesthetics and modern non-stick technology. Designed for versatility, this pan excels at everything from flipping golden pancakes to pan-frying risottos with its PFAS-free ceramic coating. While its premium construction and sleek black finish offer professional-grade performance, users should note that the stainless steel handle can get quite warm during extended stovetop use.

FAQs
Is this pan truly PFAS-free?
Yes, the ceramic coating used on the Smeg 50's Style range is manufactured without the use of PFAS.
Can I use this pan in the oven?
Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 250C.
Does it work on induction hobs?
Yes, the patented base is specifically designed for full compatibility with induction cooktops.
Should I use metal utensils?
While the coating is durable, we recommend using silicone or wooden tools to extend the life of the non-stick surface.
Is it safe to put in the dishwasher?
Yes, the pan is dishwasher-friendly, though hand-washing will help maintain the aesthetic finish for longer.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is not being overheated, which can degrade the non-stick property. Always use a small amount of oil or butter.
Discoloration on the base
This is often due to high heat or residue from the hob. Use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner on the base only, avoiding the non-stick interior.
Pan is wobbling on the hob
Allow the pan to cool completely before cleaning. Thermal shock from running cold water over a hot pan can cause base warping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Smeg frying pan, follow these care guidelines:
- Pre-Heating: Always allow the pan to heat gradually. Avoid 'thermal shock' by not placing a cold pan onto a high-heat burner.
- Utensils: Although the ceramic coating is robust, use silicone or wooden utensils to maintain the non-stick integrity over the long term.
- Cleaning: While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the finish.
- Compatibility: The patented base is designed to work on all induction, gas, electric, and ceramic hobs.
- Storage: Avoid stacking other pans directly on top of the coating. If you must stack them, use a felt pan protector to prevent scratches.
