Fully Clad Tri-Ply | 18/8 Stainless Steel | Uncoated Cooking Surface | Induction Compatible
Designed for versatile everyday cooking, our Elite Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan Set combines an uncoated 18/8 stainless-steel cooking surface with fully clad construction engineered to distribute heat throughout the base and sidewalls.
Each pan uses a three-layer construction, combining an 18/8 stainless-steel interior, a heat-conducting aluminium core and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminium layer is enclosed within the stainless-steel construction, providing responsive, even heating without forming the food-contact cooking surface.
The uncoated stainless-steel interior provides a durable alternative to conventional non-stick cookware and is particularly well suited to searing, browning, sautéing and shallow frying when used with appropriate heat and cooking technique.
Available as 20 + 24cm, 20 + 28cm, or a complete 20 + 24 + 28cm set, the range provides practical size combinations for everything from smaller everyday meals to larger-volume cooking.
Suitable for induction, gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and solid-plate hobs, with robust riveted stainless-steel handles and dishwasher-safe construction for practical everyday use.
What Makes Our Elite Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan Set Different?
Fully Clad Tri-Ply Construction
Three bonded layers extend throughout the base and sidewalls, helping distribute heat across the entire pan rather than concentrating it solely at the base.
Uncoated 18/8 Stainless-Steel Surface
The food-contact interior is 18/8 stainless steel with no PTFE, PFAS, PFOA, ceramic or other non-stick coating applied, as confirmed directly by the supplier.
Fully Enclosed Aluminium Core
A heat-conducting aluminium core sits completely enclosed between the stainless-steel layers, improving heat distribution without the aluminium coming into direct contact with food.
Designed for Controlled, Even Heating
The clad construction promotes responsive and even heating, making the pans particularly suited to searing, browning, sautéing and shallow frying when used with appropriate temperature control.
Induction-Ready Stainless-Steel Exterior
The magnetic 18/0 stainless-steel exterior makes the pans suitable for induction alongside gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and solid-plate hobs.
Carefully Selected for NEO
Chosen for its material transparency, completely uncoated cooking surface and fully clad construction—a durable alternative to frying pans that rely on an applied non-stick coating.
What is Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware?
Tri-ply cookware is constructed from three bonded layers of metal, combining the different properties of stainless steel and aluminium within a single pan.
In these pans, the 18/8 stainless-steel interior provides the durable, uncoated food-contact cooking surface. At the centre is a fully enclosed aluminium core, which conducts heat efficiently and helps distribute it across the pan. The outer layer uses magnetic 18/0 stainless steel, allowing the cookware to work with induction as well as conventional hobs.
Unlike cookware where the heat-conducting layer is confined to a disc on the base, the fully clad construction extends through the base and sidewalls, helping provide more consistent heating throughout the cooking vessel.
The result combines the durability and uncoated surface of stainless steel with the heat-conducting properties of aluminium, while keeping the aluminium completely enclosed and away from direct food contact.

What you need to know
Why You Should Be Using Our Elite Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan Set
Cook Without an Applied Non-Stick Coating
The 18/8 stainless-steel cooking surface is completely uncoated, with no PTFE, PFAS, PFOA, ceramic or other non-stick coating applied.
Reliable, Even Heat Distribution
The fully clad aluminium core extends through the base and sidewalls, helping distribute heat more evenly and reduce concentrated hot spots during cooking.
Excellent for Searing & Browning
Stainless steel is particularly well suited to developing browning and caramelisation, making these pans ideal for searing meat, fish and vegetables as well as sautéing and shallow frying.
Designed for Controlled Cooking
Gradual preheating, moderate temperatures and a small amount of cooking oil help create an effective cooking surface while reducing sticking—without relying on an applied non-stick layer.
Three Practical Pan Sizes
Choose between 20cm, 24cm and 28cm pans across the available set combinations, giving you suitable sizes for everything from smaller portions to larger everyday meals.
Made for Long-Term Use
The stainless-steel cooking surface does not depend on a conventional non-stick coating that can progressively wear away. With appropriate use and care, the pans are designed for dependable everyday cooking over the long term.
The Details
Fully Clad Tri-Ply Construction
The three-layer construction extends across the base and sidewalls, combining stainless steel with an enclosed aluminium core for consistent heat distribution throughout the pan.
18/8 Stainless-Steel Interior
A durable, food-contact 18/8 stainless-steel cooking surface provides a robust surface for everyday frying, sautéing, searing and browning.
No Applied Non-Stick Coating
The cooking surface is completely uncoated, with no PTFE, PFAS, PFOA, ceramic or other non-stick coating applied, as confirmed by the supplier.
Fully Enclosed Aluminium Core
The aluminium heat-conducting layer is completely contained between the stainless-steel layers and does not come into direct contact with food.
Magnetic 18/0 Stainless-Steel Exterior
The outer stainless-steel layer provides the magnetic surface required for induction compatibility, while also supporting use across a broad range of conventional hobs.
Riveted Stainless-Steel Handles
Cast stainless-steel handles are securely riveted to each pan and use a hollow design intended to reduce heat transfer during stovetop cooking. Appropriate heat protection should still be used whenever necessary.
Dishwasher-Safe Construction
The stainless-steel construction is dishwasher safe, although hand washing can also be used for routine cleaning and maintenance.
Three Useful Sizes
The range combines 20cm / 1.2L, 24cm / 2.1L and 28cm / 2.8L frying pans across the available two- and three-pan set configurations.
Care & Long-Term Use
Preheat Gradually
Allow the pan to warm progressively over low-to-moderate heat rather than immediately using maximum heat. The fully clad construction is designed to distribute heat efficiently, so very high temperatures are not normally required.
Use a Small Amount of Cooking Oil
Once appropriately preheated, add a small amount of suitable cooking oil before adding food. Good temperature control and cooking technique can help reduce sticking on the uncoated stainless-steel surface.
Avoid Unnecessary Overheating
Stainless-steel cookware performs effectively at controlled temperatures. Excessive heat can cause food to burn, oils to smoke and temporary heat discolouration of the stainless steel.
Dishwasher Safe
The pans are suitable for dishwasher cleaning. For routine maintenance, they can also be washed by hand using warm water, washing-up liquid and a non-abrasive cleaning tool.
Allow to Cool Before Cleaning
Avoid exposing a very hot pan to cold water. Allowing the cookware to cool first helps minimise sudden thermal stress and makes cleaning safer.
Stainless Steel Can Be Restored
Stubborn residue, mineral marks or heat discolouration can generally be addressed with appropriate stainless-steel cleaning methods without affecting the underlying uncoated cooking surface.
Designed for Long-Term Use
There is no applied non-stick coating to maintain or replace. With appropriate temperature control, cleaning and care, the stainless-steel cooking surface is designed for dependable repeated use.
Important: These pans are not oven safe, as confirmed directly by the supplier. They should be used as stovetop cookware rather than transferred into the oven.
