Stainless steel frying pan built for even, controlled heat

The ASKO AFP13S is a stainless steel frying pan measuring 505mm wide and 323mm deep, sized for serious searing rather than a single egg. Its dense base spreads heat evenly across the surface, so a steak or a pan of vegetables cooks at the same rate edge to edge instead of scorching in the centre.

The heavier gauge steel holds temperature through the drop that happens the moment food hits the pan, which means faster recovery and better browning on proteins. A flat, stable base keeps the pan sitting true on induction and gas alike, and the polished stainless finish resists the pitting and discolouration that thinner pans develop after repeated high-heat use. It cleans up easily and does not retain odours or metallic tastes the way non-stick coatings can over time.

It suits a kitchen where the cookware is expected to last as long as the appliances around it, sitting comfortably alongside a stainless steel range or cooktop rather than fighting it visually. If your drawer already runs stainless saucepans and pots, this pan continues that same considered set.
