Why this frying pan earns its place
This 20 cm frying pan is built for the kind of kitchen that wants dependable heat and no fuss. Samuel Groves makes it from heavy duty carbon steel and ships it fully seasoned, so it is ready to cook straight away rather than waiting on preparation before the first service.
The appeal of carbon steel is its cooking behaviour. It heats quickly, holds that heat well and makes high-heat work feel controlled, which is exactly what you want when you are searing meat, fish or vegetables and need the pan to stay steady under pressure.
It is versatile across the line too. The pan is suitable for all hob types, including induction, and it is oven safe up to 350°C, so you can start a dish on the hob and finish it in the oven without changing cookware. At 200 mm wide, 410 mm deep and 130 mm high, it is the more compact option in the range, with a gross weight of 1.093 kg.
