Its patented German nonstick coating ensures long-lasting durability and effortless food release. The uniquely designed round bottom allows for minimal oil use while promoting even heat distribution, making it perfect for sautéing, stir-frying, and deep-frying. Equipped with a cool-touch plastic handle fixed with strong rivets, this pan is compatible with gas and electric stovetops, combining health-conscious cooking with professional-grade performance. ## Description The cooking surface of Futura Nonstick Cookware is made with a unique patented process by which high quality nonstick coating (made in Germany) is locked firmly into the tough Hard Anodised surface underneath. This means that Futura Nonstick, properly used, will last longer than ordinary nonstick. The round bottom has two important functions: it allows you to get cooking depth with minimal amount of oil, and the curved body spreads the gas flames and the gases well, heating food quickly and evenly. The 3.25 mm extra thick base and sides of the Deep-Fry Pan spreads heat evenly, retains heat well and avoids hot spots. So food tends to not burn or stick. The curved sides makes it ideal for deep-frying and stir-frying. The extra thick hard anodised black body has an important health benefit – you can cook with less oil. Futura Nonstick Deep-Fry Pans are ideal for sautéing and stir-frying foods with minimal quantities of oil. They can also be used for deep-frying and for cooking gravies, curries and sauces. The handles are firmly fixed with strong rivets to the extra-thick body and won’t come off or wobble. Designed to stay cool and be comfortable to hold. The Deep-Fry Pan is suitable for domestic gas and radiant electric cooktops. The Test Kitchen writes instructions for the user, develops recipes and solves customer problems.
