Product Information
Full details
The Stellar Zero 20cm Frying Pan is an excellent choice for home cooks who prioritize chemical-free performance and durability, offering a natural non-stick experience through advanced engineering rather than synthetic coatings. It is ideal for daily searing, browning, and frying, though users accustomed to traditional slippery Teflon surfaces may initially need to adjust their heat management and fat usage to achieve the best results.

FAQs
Is this pan truly non-stick?
It uses a precision-etched surface to create a natural non-stick effect. While it performs differently than chemical non-stick pans, proper heat management makes food release very easy.
Can I use metal utensils?
Yes, the Stellar Zero surface is durable and safe for use with metal spatulas, spoons, and whisks.
Is it safe for induction cooktops?
Yes, the Tri-Ply stainless steel construction is fully compatible with induction hobs.
How high can I set my stovetop burner?
The pan handles high heat well, but medium heat is often sufficient for most tasks due to the efficient heat conductivity of the aluminium core.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to maintain the polished exterior finish.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface
Ensure the pan is preheated correctly. Try the 'Leidenfrost' test by dropping a tiny bead of water into the pan; if it dances, the surface is at the right temperature for cooking.
Discoloration or rainbow-like marks on the steel
This is typically caused by high heat or mineral deposits from water. It can be easily removed by cleaning the surface with a bit of vinegar or a specialized stainless steel cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, wash the pan in warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residue. The Stellar Zero is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. To maintain the pan, avoid thermal shock by letting it cool down before rinsing with cold water. While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the finish over the long term. If food particles become stuck, a simple soak in warm water followed by a gentle scrub will usually restore the surface. Avoid using harsh steel wool pads, as they are unnecessary for this design.
