THE WORKING VIEW

Why this frying pan earns its place

The 200mm is for chefs who value control and precision above all else. At 700ml capacity and 1.1 kg, it's barely larger than a sauté pan but it's built as a full frying pan—45mm walls, flat bottom, even heat distribution. This is the tool for one-cover cookery where you're plating individually, building delicate sauces, or reducing stock by the spoon. In Michelin kitchens and high-end establishments, you'll find one of these at almost every station because it teaches and enforces precision: every degree of heat matters, every movement is intentional.

Hand-forged from 100% mineral iron with organic beeswax finish that burns away on first use. Once it does, the iron begins to season: fat and oil polymerise on the surface, building a naturally non-stick layer that improves monthly and yearly. After three weeks, it's genuinely slick. After a year, it's better than any commercial non-stick coating. Unlike coated pans, it never degrades. It gets better.

The weight—just 1.1 kg—means your hand and wrist control everything. This is the pan for egg work, delicate fish, butter-based sauces, and any work where a heavy hand breaks the dish. It heats instantly and cools instantly, so temperature precision is real. You see the difference between 160°C and 180°C in seconds, not minutes. That's why professional kitchens reach for this size for finesse work.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

No—every professional kitchen has at least one, often several. It's not for batch work; it's for finesse work where control is everything. If you're doing multiple plates at once, use a larger pan. For single-cover plating, this is the right tool.

A frying pan has a completely flat bottom and steep walls; a saucepan is rounded. This design heats evenly across the entire surface and lets you slide a spatula under delicate food (fish, eggs, etc.) cleanly. It's purpose-built for frying at precision.

Yes, perfectly. Beurre blanc, beurre noisette, emulsified butter sauces—the light weight and instant heat response make this the ideal pan for butter-based finishes.

Yes. Light weight means you control the pan entirely with your hand and wrist; the pan doesn't control you. You feel temperature changes instantly, and you can move and tilt with precision. It rewards skilled technique.

Yes. It's small enough that you can watch the colour change carefully, and the responsive heat means you can stop the caramelisation at exactly the right point. Professional pastry kitchens often use one for this.

Yes. Even though it's light, the iron is identical to the larger sizes. You can reduce aggressively, deglaze with wine or vinegar, and it won't be damaged. Just clean it immediately after acidic work, because acid eats seasoning. Re-oil and heat if needed to restore the surface.
