Hawkins Fry Pan Non Stick Ceramic 16Cm ICF16

Hawkins Fry Pan NS Ceramic 16cm

The Hawkins Fry Pan NS Ceramic 16cm is built around a genuinely different approach to nonstick cooking. Rather than the conventional PTFE-based coatings found in most nonstick pans, this fry pan uses a high-quality German ceramic surface — a material chosen specifically for its excellent release properties and its ability to withstand higher cooking temperatures without breaking down. The compact 16cm size is ideal for single servings, omelettes, frying an egg, or pan-searing a small fish fillet, making it a genuinely practical everyday pan for individuals or smaller households.

The ceramic interior requires noticeably less oil than conventional cooking, since food releases cleanly from the surface even at low to medium heat — a real advantage for anyone looking to cook lighter without sacrificing flavour or texture. Because German ceramic is engineered to tolerate high heat without degrading, you can achieve proper browning and crisping results that some nonstick surfaces simply can't deliver once temperatures climb. The exterior carries a scratch and stain-resistant ceramic finish that keeps the pan looking presentable through regular use.

Perhaps the most reassuring detail for health-conscious cooks is what this pan doesn't contain: no PFAS, and no heavy metals in its nonstick formulation. Combined with full compatibility across induction, gas, and electric cooktops, the Hawkins Ceramic Fry Pan 16cm offers a genuinely versatile, easy-clean option for anyone wanting better food release with a cleaner ingredient list in their cookware.

Key Features

German Ceramic Nonstick Coating

The interior uses a premium German ceramic formulation known for excellent release properties and durability. Unlike standard nonstick coatings, ceramic surfaces of this quality are engineered to last longer under regular cooking conditions while maintaining consistent nonstick performance.

Excellent Release Properties — Less Oil Needed

Food releases cleanly from the ceramic surface even with minimal oil, supporting healthier, lower-fat cooking without compromising on how easily food comes off the pan during cooking or cleanup.

High-Heat Tolerant

The ceramic coating is specifically designed to withstand higher cooking temperatures without breaking down or losing its nonstick properties — allowing for proper browning, searing, and crisping results that some standard nonstick coatings struggle to deliver at higher heat.

PFAS and Heavy-Metal Free

The ceramic-based nonstick formulation contains no PFAS and no heavy metals, offering a genuinely health-conscious alternative for households wanting to reduce the chemical footprint of their everyday cookware.

Scratch and Stain-Resistant Exterior

The exterior ceramic finish resists scratching and staining, helping the pan maintain its appearance through regular use and washing, rather than dulling or discolouring over time.

Multi-Cooktop Compatible

The pan works seamlessly across induction, gas, and electric cooktops, giving you the flexibility to use it regardless of your kitchen's stove setup.

Compact 16cm Size

The 16cm diameter is ideally suited for single servings — frying an egg, making a small omelette, or pan-searing a single fish fillet — making this a practical everyday pan for individuals or smaller households.
