Frying Pans
A reliable frying pan is a must-have in every kitchen. Whether you’re cooking for a busy restaurant or prepping dinner at home. At Cooksmill, we stock a wide range of frying pans for all types of cooking, including aluminium, stainless steel, non-stick, black iron, induction-compatible, and specialist brands like Scanpan and Paderno. From everyday use to high-heat searing, we offer the right pan for every task.
Our commercial-grade frying pans are used by chefs, caterers, and home cooks across the UK. With options available in various sizes, finishes, and materials, you’ll find everything from heavy-duty black iron pans for searing steaks to lightweight non-stick pans for frying eggs and pancakes.
Aluminium Frying Pans
Aluminium frying pans are a top choice in busy kitchens. Lightweight and quick to heat, they’re ideal for fast-paced cooking environments where time and efficiency matter. The excellent heat conductivity of aluminium ensures even cooking with minimal hot spots, helping food brown evenly and cook through reliably.
We stock a wide range of aluminium frying pans in various sizes. Many come with non-stick coatings for easy release and simple cleaning. They’re perfect for frying eggs, sauteing vegetables, and preparing fish, poultry, or delicate ingredients. Popular with professional chefs and commercial kitchens, our aluminium pans are built to withstand repeated use while remaining easy to handle and maintain.
Black Iron Frying Pans
Black iron frying pans are traditional, long-lasting pans designed for serious cooking. Made from heavy-duty iron, these pans excel at retaining and distributing heat evenly, making them perfect for high-heat cooking, searing, and frying. They develop a natural non-stick layer over time with proper seasoning, adding flavour and character to your dishes.
These pans are ideal for steaks, stir-frying, shallow-frying, and browning meats. They’re favoured in both commercial and home kitchens for their durability and classic performance. Our black iron frying pans come in multiple diameters and depths, giving chefs complete control over portion sizes and heat control.
Induction Frying Pans
For kitchens equipped with induction hobs, our induction frying pans are specifically designed with magnetic bases to ensure maximum compatibility and energy efficiency. Induction cooking is fast, safe, and precise, but only works with cookware designed to conduct the magnetic field.
We stock induction-compatible frying pans in aluminium, non-stick designs that offer enhanced heat distribution, ensuring your food cooks evenly every time. Whether you’re in a modern commercial kitchen or a home setup with an induction cooktop, these pans offer reliable, responsive performance without compromise.
Non-Stick Frying Pans
Our non-stick frying pans offer hassle-free cooking and easy cleaning, making them a go-to for everyday frying tasks. From cooking eggs and omelettes to pancakes and stir-fries, non-stick pans reduce the need for oil and prevent food from sticking, tearing, or burning.
Available in a variety of shoes and designs such as woks and crepe pans, our non-stick pans cater to both domestic users and professional kitchens. Many of our pans are dishwasher-safe, scratch-resistant, and built to last even under daily use. We stock non-stick frying pans in a wide range of sizes, so whether you need a compact pan for quick breakfasts or a large skillet for batch cooking, you’ll find the right fit.
Stainless Steel Frying Pans
Stainless steel frying pans are a professional favourite for good reason. Resistant to corrosion, easy to clean, and highly durable, these pans are built for heavy use in demanding kitchen environments.
Ideal for searing, browning, and deglazing, stainless steel pans are especially popular when building flavour in sauces or roasting meats. Our high-quality stainless steel frying pans ensure even heat distribution and reduce hotspots. Perfect for both home and commercial use, these pans are a versatile tool for any kitchen setup.
Scanpan Frying Pans
Scanpan is a premium cookware brand from Denmark, known for combining innovative technology with professional-grade quality. Their frying pans feature the exclusive Stratanium non-stick coating, which is durable and safe for use with metal utensils.
Scanpan pans offer superb heat distribution, ergonomic designs, and energy-efficient performance. Suitable for various cooker types, they’re ideal for chefs who want reliable, sustainable cookware without compromising on performance. Our range of Scanpan frying pans includes a range of their classic models, as well as professional chef pans for more advanced cooking techniques.
Paderno Black Steel Frying Pans
Paderno black steel frying pans are trusted by chefs for their high performance and reliability. Made from carbon steel, these pans combine the heat retention of cast iron with the lighter weight of steel. Over time, they develop a natural non-stick patina with seasoning, making them more effective the longer you use them.
These pans are perfect for searing, browning, and finishing dishes in the oven. Designed for commercial use, Paderno’s black steel pans are warp-resistant and built to stand up to high-heat cooking in busy kitchens. With a wide selection of sizes available, they’re suited to everything from individual portions to large-scale batch cooking.
Tawas
Tawas are flat, round frying pans commonly used in Indian and South Asian cooking. They’re ideal for making chapatis, rotis, dosas, parathas, and other flatbreads. With their broad surface area and quick heat response, tawas allow for even cooking and crisp finishes.
We stock both traditional tawas and modern non-stick models to suit different cooking styles. Traditional tawas offer authentic flavour and durability, while non-stick versions allow for easier handling and faster cleanup. Whether you’re preparing flatbreads daily or occasionally experimenting with regional cuisine, a high-quality tawa is a useful and versatile addition to any kitchen.
Frying Pan Accessories
To get the best results from your frying pans, we stock a range of accessories that make cooking, cleaning, and storing easier. From replacement handles to splatter screens, these tools help extend the life of your cookware and improve your kitchen efficiency.
How to Choose the Best Frying Pan for Your Kitchen
With so many types of frying pans available, it can be hard to know which one is right for your kitchen. Whether you’re buying for a catering business or for everyday home use, it’s important to consider the following factors:
Cooking Surface Compatibility
Not all pans work on every type of hob. Induction cooktops, in particular, require pans with a magnetic base. Always check whether the pan is suitable for gas, electric, ceramic, or induction hobs.
Material and Performance
Each material has its own set of benefits. Pick the best one for your needs:
- Aluminium heats up quickly.
- Stainless steel is durable.
- Black iron and carbon steel develop non-stick properties over time.
- Non-stick coatings are great for low-oil cooking.
The right material depends on what and how you cook.
Pan Size
Choose the right diameter for the task. We stock pans in a wide range of sizes, typically:
- 20cm–24cm for eggs, single portions
- 26cm–28cm for everyday meals and stir-frying
- 30cm+ for family cooking or batch preparation
Larger pans distribute heat more broadly but may require more space and power.
Handle Type
Sturdy, heat-resistant handles are essential for safety and comfort. Look for pans with riveted or welded handles for commercial durability. Some of our models come with detachable or oven-safe handles for added flexibility.
