Frying Pan
The flat frying pan is the tool for everything that needs direct heat and a proper crust. The low rim lets moisture escape, so meat, fish and vegetables brown instead of steaming, and a spatula reaches every corner.

BIOTAN® PLUS
BIOTAN® PLUS is the non-stick coating with the strongest food release in the Gastrolux range. Fried eggs, fish, pancakes and cheese release without fat. If you use oil or butter, it is for taste, not to make something let go.
The coating is a three-layer system from the German manufacturer Weilburger (GREBLON C3+): the basecoat anchors itself in the sandblasted cast surface, the midcoat reinforces, the topcoat releases. It is applied in our own plant in Ryomgaard, Denmark. BIOTAN® PLUS is a PTFE-based system, and we say so openly. The food contact safety of the finished product has been confirmed by independent test institutes.
Available with a standard base for gas, ceramic, electric and halogen, or with an induction base. If a PFAS-free coating matters more to you than maximum food release, choose EVO PFAS-FREE.
EVO PFAS-FREE
EVO PFAS-FREE is the PFAS-free non-stick coating from Gastrolux. PFAS, often called forever chemicals, are not used in making EVO: the coating is a silicone-based system from the German manufacturer Weilburger (GREBLON Q-LINE), applied in our own plant in Ryomgaard, Denmark. The finished Gastrolux EVO product was tested by Eurofins for the migration of PFAS (test report May 2025): none of the tested substances was detectable.
EVO is more scratch resistant than BIOTAN® PLUS, and you may use metal utensils if you use them with care. So that you expect the right thing: EVO releases reliably, BIOTAN® PLUS releases even more strongly. With EVO we recommend a little oil or butter, which gives better browning and keeps the surface looking good for longer.
Available with an induction base only. If you want to fry with no fat at all, choose BIOTAN® PLUS.

Cast in Denmark
Every piece is squeeze-cast in Ryomgaard, Denmark, from cast aluminium (EN AB 43200). The 8 mm base spreads the heat evenly right up to the rim and stores it, so a low to medium setting is usually all you need. The base does not warp, not even when you hold the hot piece straight under cold water. The stable pouring rim pours without dripping, and the individual laser-etched code on the base makes every piece traceable to its production batch.
The standard base is made for gas, ceramic, electric, halogen and oven, and not for induction hobs. On the induction version, a disc of magnetic stainless steel (AISI 430) with the typical honeycomb pattern is embedded in the aluminium while it is still molten. It is not glued on and not screwed on, so there is nothing that can come loose. The induction version is suitable for induction, gas, ceramic, electric, halogen and oven.
Fixed or detachable handle
The long handle of phenolic duroplastic stays cool while you cook and sits securely in the hand. It is attached without screws, rivets or welds: nothing loosens over time, and there are no rivet heads inside where residue can collect. With the fixed handle the pan can go into the oven up to 260 °C.
The detachable handle clamps onto the rim with one press of the lever and releases just as quickly. Take it off to stack in the cupboard, to serve at the table and for the oven. With the handle attached the pan tolerates up to 180 °C. Without the handle, BIOTAN® PLUS tolerates up to 260 °C and EVO PFAS-FREE up to 300 °C. Before lifting a hot pan, check that the handle has locked.
Care: one minute a day
Before first use, wash with hot water and a little washing-up liquid, done, no seasoning needed. After that, hot water, a soft sponge and a drop of washing-up liquid after every use is enough. No scouring agents, no scouring pads.
We recommend hand washing: the aggressive detergents in a dishwasher shorten the life of any non-stick coating. Do not heat the empty pan on a high setting for more than a moment, that is the most common cause of coating damage. Put a cloth between pieces when stacking.
Utensils and fat
BIOTAN® PLUS: cook with silicone or wooden utensils, not metal. BIOTAN® PLUS needs no fat for release. If you use oil, choose a heat-stable oil and not too much of it, and the surface stays free of baked-on fat residue.
EVO PFAS-FREE: metal utensils are allowed if you use them with care. Do not cut in the pan and do not scrape the surface with force. Use a little oil or butter. With a silicone-based PFAS-free coating that is the normal route to good browning and a long service life.
Matching lids
A lid is not included. Two lids fit every frying pan size: the High Dome Lid of Pyrex® borosilicate glass and the Deluxe Low Dome Lid with stainless steel rim. Both are oven safe up to 260 °C and dishwasher safe.
| Size | High Dome Lid | Deluxe Low Dome Lid |
|---|---|---|
| 20 cm | 20-0 | 20-1 |
| 24 cm | 24-0 | 24-1 |
| 26 cm | 26-0 | 26-1 |
| 28 cm | 28-0 | 28-1 |
| 32 cm | 32-0 | 32-1 |
