Hybrid frying pans
Advantages, differences, and how to choose the right one
What is a hybrid frying pan – and why are more and more people choosing this type? Discover the latest in frying pan technology and find out if a hybrid is right for your kitchen.
Every frying pan has its strengths – and its weaknesses.
Stainless steel pans are incredibly durable and can handle high temperatures, but they require a bit more care when cooking and cleaning. Non-stick pans, on the other hand, are typically easy to use and maintain – though they’re more vulnerable to scratches and wear.
But what if you didn’t have to choose? What if you could have the best of both worlds – a perfect middle ground?
That’s where the hybrid frying pan comes in. A new type of cookware that combines durability with ease of use in one smart solution.
A hybrid frying pan merges the toughness and searing performance of stainless steel with the convenience of a non-stick surface. Say goodbye to choosing between performance and comfort. Here, you get both – without burnt-on food and without special maintenance.
Our selection of hybrid frying pans
What is a hybrid frying pan?
What makes a hybrid pan unique is its surface. Raised stainless steel patterns sit above a non-stick coating, working together to protect the pan and enhance cooking. The raised elements – typically hexagonal or honeycomb-shaped – form a mesh-like barrier between your utensils and the more sensitive coating underneath.
Think of it as peaks and valleys: food rests mainly on the steel, creating a beautiful sear, while the non-stick layer in the valleys prevents anything from sticking.
This gives you a pan that is:
- Excellent for searing – ideal for meat, vegetables and fish
- Easy to clean – food releases effortlessly
- Highly durable – safe to use with metal utensils
What are the advantages of a hybrid pan?
| Type | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid | Combines non-stick and durability | Often slightly more expensive than traditional pans |
| Non-stick | Easy to use and clean | Not suited for metal utensils or high heat |
| Stainless steel | Excellent for browning and high heat | Requires skill and can be harder to clean |
| Cast iron | Exceptional heat retention | Heavy and needs special care |
