Korkmaz Palma Grey Non-Stick Frying Pan | 20, 24 or 28 cm

An everyday frying pan from Korkmaz, the Turkish cookware maker. The Palma has a grey, speckled stone-effect non-stick finish that lets eggs, fish and pancakes slide off with very little oil, and an induction base that spreads the heat evenly across the pan.

The coating is Volkanit, made by the German coatings company Weilburger. It is built up in layers over an aluminium body: a primer that resists corrosion, a mid coat reinforced with Volkanit to stand up to wear, and a top coat for easy release and scratch resistance. Korkmaz rates it 3× extra resistant and backs it with a two-year guarantee.

Choose 20 cm for an egg or two, 24 cm for everyday cooking, or 28 cm for a family-size fry-up. The 24 cm and 28 cm also come together as a pair for $94.99.

Good to know

• Weilburger is the German company behind the Volkanit and Greblon non-stick coatings.
• PFOA free means the coating is made without PFOA, a processing chemical cookware makers have phased out.

Wash by hand in warm soapy water with a soft sponge, and dry before storing. A non-stick surface lasts far longer out of the dishwasher.

• Let the pan cool before washing. Cold water on a hot pan can warp aluminium.
• Use wooden, silicone or nylon utensils. A steel edge will score any non-stick coating.
• No abrasive pads, scouring powder or oven cleaner.
• Cook on low to medium heat, and never heat the pan empty on high.
• Avoid aerosol cooking sprays, which leave a residue that dulls the non-stick.
