ONE CONSTRUCTION,

TWO COATINGS

What every Gastrolux pan shares & where the choice begins.

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

01

COATING CHOICE

Two coatings for two different priorities: BIOTAN® PLUS and EVO PFAS-FREE.

02

OVEN-PROOF

Fixed handles and lid knobs are shaped for a secure grip and are oven-proof up to 260°C | 500°F.

03

DETACHABLE HANDLE

No screws, no rivets, no welding. Stays securely fixed.

04

INDUCTION BASE

A stainless steel plate cast into the aluminium, not glued onto it.

WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE

From the side, all pans look much alike. The difference is in what is inside: the thickness of the base, the way the metal was cast, the way the plate is joined to it. At each of those points there is a cheaper way to build a pan.

That is why the rest of this page is a cross-section. It is easier to show than to describe.

01
COATING

The construction is the same across the range. The coating is not.
BIOTAN® PLUS and EVO PFAS-FREE are two coatings for two different priorities. Neither is a weaker version of the other, and neither was made to replace the other. The difference lies in what matters most to the person cooking.

02
8 MM SQUEEZE-CAST BASE

The base is eight millimetres of squeeze-cast aluminium. That mass absorbs heat, spreads it evenly across the whole surface and holds it when cold food goes into the pan. In cooking, this means fewer hot spots and a more predictable result.

The base is thermo-shock resistant - a hot pan can go straight under cold water. It carries a lifetime warranty against warping, subject to applicable warranty terms and correct use.

03
HANDLE FIXATION

The handle is secured without screws, rivets or welding. There is no part that works loose over time, and no rivet heads inside the pan where food residue collects. The decision was made for hygiene and longevity, not for appearance.

04
INDUCTION BASE

The stainless steel plate is cast into the aluminium while it is still molten. It is not glued on and not fitted afterwards, so there is no joint that can separate. Energy does not stop at a joint; it passes into the full thickness of the base.

The cookware works on induction, gas, electric, ceramic and halogen. It is not for use on an open barbecue or under a grill or broiler element.

05
HANDLES AND LID KNOBS

Fixed handles and lid knobs are oven-safe up to 260°C. The same limit applies to the borosilicate glass lids, so cookware and lid go into the oven together.

06
POURING EDGE

A shaped rim guides liquid as you pour instead of letting it run down the side of the pan. Sauce, stock or excess fat leaves where it should.

07
COUNTERHANDLE

Opposite the main handle sits a counterhandle, carrying the pan's diameter marking. It exists because a full dish is not lifted with one hand.

08
DETACHABLE HANDLE

The handle clamps onto the pan rim and releases with a lever. The connection is mechanical and separable rather than permanent, so what enters the oven is a pan with no component limiting its temperature.

For the same reason, pieces nest inside one another, with no handle in the way.
