The Hawkins NSF22G brings together the best of two cooking worlds: the hygiene and durability of stainless steel, and the everyday convenience of non-stick. This 22cm frypan features a Shielded Non-Stick surface — a honeycomb pattern of raised stainless steel ridges that protects the non-stick coating beneath, so you can cook confidently with metal spatulas without worrying about scratches or premature wear.
Built on Hawkins' Triply construction — an aluminium core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel — the NSF22G heats evenly across the entire cooking surface with no hot spots, retaining heat efficiently for faster, more consistent cooking. The included glass lid lets you monitor your food without lifting it, making this frypan a genuinely versatile everyday tool for sautéing, frying, and shallow cooking.
The 18/8 food-grade stainless steel cooking surface is topped with a non-stick coating shielded by raised stainless steel honeycomb ridges. This unique design allows you to cook and stir with metal spatulas without damaging the non-stick layer, dramatically extending its lifespan compared to conventional non-stick pans.
An extra-thick aluminium core is sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel, spreading heat evenly across the base and up the sides. This eliminates hot spots, so food cooks uniformly whether you're frying, sautéing, or searing.
The cooking surface is made from AISI 304 (18/8) stainless steel — a grade prized for hygiene, durability, and resistance to pitting or corrosion. It does not react with food, ensuring clean, unaltered flavours every time.
The glass lid lets you monitor cooking progress without lifting it, helping retain heat and moisture for dishes that benefit from covered cooking. It's a practical addition for everyday frying, simmering, and shallow braising.
The AISI 430 magnetic stainless steel base makes the NSF22G compatible with both traditional gas stoves and induction cooktops — one pan that adapts to whatever cooking setup your kitchen has, now or in the future.
Reviewers consistently praise how easy the NSF22G is to clean after use. The combination of stainless steel construction and shielded non-stick means the pan resists staining and residue buildup, staying easy to maintain meal after meal.
