26cm Heavy Gauge Granite Frying Pan with Wooden Handle

This 26cm heavy gauge granite frying pan is an everyday pan for eggs, pancakes, chapati, sausages and stir-fries, made so food slides off rather than sticking. The granite cooking surface lets you fry with far less oil and makes washing up quick, which is a real gain on busy weekday mornings. Because it is heavy gauge, the base is thick enough to hold heat steadily and resist warping, so you get even browning instead of a burnt middle and pale edges. At 26cm, it is the most useful all-round size: big enough for two or three eggs or a full chapati, small enough to heat quickly on a single burner. The wooden handle stays cooler and more comfortable to grip than bare metal and gives the pan a warm, natural look. It suits students, young families and anyone replacing a tired pan whose surface has worn out.

Specifications

Buying guide

To make a granite pan last, treat the surface kindly. Cook on low to medium heat; non-stick surfaces do not need high heat and can be damaged by it, especially when the pan is empty. Use wooden or silicone utensils rather than metal, and avoid cutting food in the pan. Let it cool before washing, then clean with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, never steel wool. Keep the wooden handle out of long soaks and dry it straight away to stop the wood cracking. Check that it suits your cooker before buying: it is ideal for gas, but the supplier does not state induction compatibility.

How it compares

Compared with a plain aluminium or steel frying pan, a granite pan needs less oil and is much easier to clean, which makes it better for eggs and pancakes. Compared with cast iron, it is lighter and needs no seasoning, though it should be kept on gentler heat and away from metal utensils to keep the surface at its best.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need oil with a granite pan?
Only a little. The granite surface lets food release easily, so a light brush of oil is enough for most cooking.

Can I use metal spatulas?
It is best to use wooden or silicone utensils to protect the granite surface and keep it non-stick for longer.

Does it work on induction?
The supplier does not state induction compatibility. It works well on gas; ask us to confirm before ordering for an induction hob.
