Characteristics of the base The bases of WMF frying pans sit flat on the hob and use all the energy emitted from the heat source. Cromargan® frying pans have a TransTherm® universal base, which retains heat for a very long time. The residual heat can be used to finish the cooking.

Hard-wearing surface

PermaDur Non-stick coating During manufacturing, multiple layers with an increasing non-stick effect are continuously applied to the base material. / Characteristics: extremely durable and resistant to food acids. / Coating: Synthetic coatings have excellent non-stick properties. We guarantee that nothing will stick to the surface, which makes cooking and cleaning very simple.

Functional layer

Every household should have a frying pan. They are simple to use and usually cook food quickly. They are also available in various designs and sizes. Choosing the right frying pan for you is far from easy. So be careful when making your deci- sion! Take note of the material, surface, type of base, how it feels to hold, the pan size and the care properties. Deciding which one is right for you depends on your own eating habits and what you like to cook. Essentially though, there are WMF frying pans for every kind of cooking. All-rounders, which can also withstand high temperatures Gentle fryers for more delicate food Heat pros for flash frying at high temperatures. Overview of WMF frying pans All WMF frying pans are made of Cromargan®: stainless steel 18/10, aluminium or multilayer material. They are available both with and without coating. / Frying pans made of Cromargan®: stainless steel 18/10 are hard-wearing, scratch and impact resistant, and can withstand high temperatures. / Aluminium frying pans absorb heat particularly well and quickly distribute it across the whole frying pan. / Cast aluminium frying pans distribute the heat evenly and retain it for a long time. / Multilayer frying pans are steel frying pans with a continuous aluminium core, which combine the advantages of these two materials. / Coated Frying pans are a good choice for a health-conscious diet. They cook gently, use very little fat and are easy to clean. In the WMF frying pan range, you have a choice of three different coatings: CeraDur , a mineral-based ceramic coa- ting that can withstand temperatures of up to 400 °C. The innovative PermaDur non-stick coating, which is extremely durable and of- fers perfect non-stick properties. Duraquarz® is a quartz-reinforced synthetic non-stick coating that combines the advantages of heat resistance up to 400 °C and long-lasting non-stick properties. All coatings – CeraDur, PermaDur and Du- raquarz® – are PFOA free according to applicable legal regulations.

Ergonomically shaped handle The frying pan is often moved around on the hob when stir frying or turning food over. WMF frying pan handles are shaped so that they lie comfortably and securely in your hand and distribute the weight properly. Serving pans with stainless steel side handles are ideal for cooking au gratin or braising in the oven.

Flame protection WMF frying pan handles made of high-quality synthetic material have flame protection for use on gas hobs.

Pouring rim The rim of the frying pan is shaped in such a way that nothing spills when pouring or serving from the pan.

Induction Bottom All WMF frying pans are suitable for all kinds of hobs, including Induction.
