Hawkins Pro Frying Pan Triply Steel 22 cm W/O Lid PSF22

Hawkins Pro Triply Stainless Steel Frying Pan 22 cm Without Lid (PSF22) – Extra-Thick 3mm Tri-Ply, Stay-Cool SS Handle, Gas, Induction & Oven Compatible for Eggs, Searing & Pan-Frying

About This Product

Some kitchen tools work best when they are unencumbered — and a frying pan is one of them. Open, accessible, in direct contact with the heat, with nothing between you and the food you are cooking. The Hawkins Pro Triply Stainless Steel Frying Pan 22 cm (PSF22) is that kind of pan — supplied without a lid, built for the cooking tasks where you want to be fully engaged with the process: a properly seared piece of fish, an omelette that sets cleanly, golden-crisp dosas, shallow-fried paneer, sautéed vegetables that pick up real colour. At 22 cm and 1 litre capacity, it is the ideal everyday precision pan for 1 to 2 person portions, built to the full Hawkins Pro standard — extra-thick 3mm Tri-Ply construction, stay-cool stainless steel handle permanently riveted, gas, induction, and oven compatible, and dishwasher safe — with no lid included, and priced accordingly.

The PSF22 is the no-lid variant of the PSF22S — both are identical in every dimension and specification (22cm, 1L, 3mm Tri-Ply, SS handle, rivets, flat base, Ezee-Pour flange, dishwasher safe, gas + induction + oven, 5-year guarantee), with the sole difference being that the PSF22 does not include a lid. This is a deliberate choice for buyers who already own a compatible lid, prefer to use the pan open, or simply want the frying pan at a more accessible price point without the lid accessory. For cooks who already have the PSF22S or who use a lid from another pan in their kitchen, the PSF22 is the practical choice. For cooks who want the lid included, the PSF22S is the complete package.

The 3mm Tri-Ply construction of the PSF22 — AISI 304 18/8 stainless steel inner, heavy-gauge aluminium core, AISI 430 magnetic outer — is what makes it a significantly better everyday frying pan than a standard single-layer stainless steel pan. The aluminium core distributes heat evenly across the entire 22 cm base, eliminating the hotspots that cause eggs to stick at the centre while the edges undercook, or that cause fish to bond to the pan in localised areas. The flat base that stays permanently flat ensures consistent contact with both gas burners and induction plates. The AISI 430 outer base provides full induction compatibility. The stay-cool single stainless steel handle — positioned for one-handed handling in the style of a classic frying pan — is permanently attached with stainless steel rivets and is completely oven-safe: move from stovetop to oven without any constraint. The Ezee-Pour no-drip flange around the rim allows clean pouring of pan sauces and cooking juices. A frying pan built for serious daily cooking, from the brand that has been building serious kitchen tools since 1959.

Key Features

No-Lid Variant – For Cooks Who Prefer Open-Pan Cooking

The PSF22 is supplied without a lid — making it the right choice for cooks who primarily use a frying pan for open-cooking tasks (eggs, searing, shallow frying, sautéing) where a lid is rarely needed, who already own a compatible lid from another pan in the Hawkins Pro or SSF range, or who prefer the frying pan at a lower price point without the lid accessory. For those who want a lid included, the PSF22S is the identical pan with an extra-thick stainless steel lid included.

Extra-Thick 3mm Tri-Ply – Even Heat Across 22cm Base, No Hotspots

The 3mm Tri-Ply body — AISI 304 SS inner, heavy-gauge Al core, AISI 430 magnetic SS outer — distributes heat evenly and uniformly across the entire 22 cm base. In a frying pan, even heat distribution is the single most important factor in cooking performance: eggs that do not stick and tear, fish that sears evenly across the full surface, vegetables that colour uniformly, and pancakes that cook through without burning at the centre. The Tri-Ply eliminates the hotspots that make single-layer stainless frying pans frustrating to cook in.

Stay-Cool Stainless Steel Handle – Single Handle Frying Pan Style, Oven-Safe

The single stay-cool stainless steel handle gives the PSF22 the classic frying pan form — one-handed control, easy to toss vegetables or flip food, natural to hold for the duration of a cooking session. It stays cool during stovetop cooking and is permanently attached with stainless steel rivets that will not loosen. Being all-metal, it is completely oven-safe — the pan can move from stovetop to oven for finishing dishes like a frittata or a seared protein that needs oven-finishing.

Flat Base – Stays Flat Always, Induction-Ready

The permanently flat base of the PSF22 ensures consistent, stable contact with gas burners and induction cooktop surfaces throughout the pan's lifetime. It never bulges or warps under repeated thermal cycling — a critical property for efficient induction cooking and for stable, level frying on any cooktop type.

AISI 304 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel Inner Surface

The cooking surface is AISI 304 18/8 stainless steel — premium food-grade, non-reactive with all ingredients, rust-proof, and permanently hygienic. No coating to degrade, no chemical compounds to worry about, no metallic taste. A cooking surface that improves in appearance with proper care rather than wearing out over time.

Gas, Induction & Oven Compatible – Full Versatility

The AISI 430 magnetic outer base makes the PSF22 fully induction-compatible. The all-steel construction makes it completely oven-safe. Gas, electric, ceramic, halogen, induction, and oven — all cooking surfaces covered by a single frying pan, with no adapters or accessories required.

Ezee-Pour No-Drip Flange – Clean Pouring of Pan Sauces & Juices

The Ezee-Pour no-drip flange around the rim of the PSF22 guides pan sauces, cooking juices, and excess oil cleanly when tipping the pan to pour — without running down the exterior of the pan. For frying tasks where the cooking liquid is poured off or transferred to a dish after cooking, the flange keeps the process clean from either side.

Dishwasher Safe – Easy Cleanup After Daily Use

The all-stainless construction — body, handle, and rivets — is fully dishwasher safe. After a daily egg or fish preparation, the PSF22 goes straight into the dishwasher with no components that dishwasher temperatures will damage.

22cm, 1-Litre – Precision Everyday Size for 1–2 Persons

At 22 cm and 1 litre, the PSF22 is sized for individual or couple cooking — one or two eggs, a single piece of fish, two portions of shallow-fried paneer, a single-serve dosa, or a quick vegetable sauté. The 22 cm size provides enough surface area for single or double portions while being compact enough to heat quickly, maintain high even heat easily, and store conveniently.

Warranty Information

The Hawkins Pro Triply Stainless Steel Frying Pan 22 cm Without Lid (PSF22) is backed by a 5-year guarantee from the date of purchase from Hawkins Cookers Limited against defects in material and workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between the PSF22 (without lid) and PSF22S (with lid)?

The PSF22 and PSF22S are identical in every specification — 22cm, 1L, 3mm Tri-Ply (AISI 304 SS inner, heavy-gauge Al core, AISI 430 outer), stay-cool SS handle, stainless steel rivets, flat base, Ezee-Pour flange, dishwasher safe, gas + induction + oven compatible, and 5-year guarantee. The sole difference is that PSF22S includes an extra-thick stainless steel lid and the PSF22 does not. Choose the PSF22 if you already own a compatible lid, primarily cook open, or want the frying pan without the lid accessory.

2. Can I cook eggs without them sticking in the PSF22?

Yes, with proper technique. The key steps are: preheat the pan on medium heat for 1–2 minutes before adding oil or butter; add the fat and let it heat until it shimmers or foams (for butter); then add your egg. The even heat from the 3mm Tri-Ply eliminates hotspots, and preheating ensures the pan surface is uniformly hot before the egg contacts it — which is what prevents sticking. The egg will release naturally once the white sets; do not force it early.

3. Can the PSF22 be used in an oven?

Yes. The single stainless steel handle and all-steel body make the PSF22 fully oven-safe. It can be used for searing on the stovetop followed by oven-finishing — a classic technique for thicker cuts of meat, bone-in chicken, or fish fillets. Without a lid, it is used open in the oven; a sheet of foil can be used to cover it if needed for a specific preparation.

4. Is the PSF22 induction compatible?

Yes. The AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel outer layer makes the PSF22 fully induction-compatible in addition to gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops.

5. What is the PSF22 best suited for cooking?

The PSF22 is ideal for 1–2 person portions of: fried and scrambled eggs; omelettes; pan-seared fish fillets; shallow-fried paneer or tofu; sautéed vegetables; dosas and small pancakes; pan-fried snacks in small quantities; pan sauces; and any preparation where a flat, 22cm stainless surface with even heat is the right tool. The 22cm size gives you enough cooking surface for single or double portions while maintaining high, consistent heat easily.

6. How does the PSF22 compare to the Futura Cast Iron Frying Pan (CIF24G)?

Both are high-quality frying pans without non-stick coatings. The PSF22 (Tri-Ply Stainless) heats more quickly, is lighter, is dishwasher safe, and is induction + oven compatible. The CIF24G (Cast Iron) retains heat for longer once hot, develops a natural non-stick seasoning over time, and is 24cm (slightly larger). Cast iron is superior for maintaining very high searing heat; the PSF22 Tri-Ply is superior for quick, controlled everyday cooking with fast heat-up and easy cleanup. Both reward proper preheating before use.

7. Is the PSF22 dishwasher safe?

Yes. The all-stainless construction — body, handle, and rivets — is fully dishwasher safe. There are no components that dishwasher temperatures or detergents will affect.

8. Why would I choose the PSF22 without lid over the PSF22S with lid?

Choose the PSF22 if: you already own a compatible stainless steel or universal lid that fits 22cm cookware; you primarily use a frying pan without a lid for open cooking tasks like eggs, searing, and sautéing; you want the frying pan at a lower price than the lidded PSF22S; or you are adding it to a set and do not need another lid. If you want the complete package including a matching extra-thick stainless steel lid for covered cooking, choose the PSF22S.

9. What is the warranty on the Hawkins Pro PSF22?

The PSF22 carries a 5-year guarantee from the date of purchase from Hawkins Cookers Limited. Labour for all repairs is free throughout the product's entire working life. For warranty service, contact Hawkins at service@hawkinscookers.com or (022) 24 440 807.

10. What other sizes are available in the Hawkins Pro Frying Pan range?

The Hawkins Pro Triply Frying Pan range is available in 18cm (PSF18/PSF18S), 22cm (PSF22/PSF22S), and 26cm (PSF26/PSF26S) — each in a without-lid and with-lid variant. All sizes share the same 3mm Tri-Ply construction, stay-cool SS handle, SS rivets, flat base, Ezee-Pour flange, dishwasher safety, gas + induction + oven compatibility, and 5-year guarantee. The 22cm PSF22 is the everyday precision size for 1–2 persons; choose 26cm for larger portions or more cooking surface.
