If you love cooking, you have probably faced this dilemma: Should you choose a stainless steel frying pan that can handle high temperatures and creates the perfect sear, or a non-stick frying pan that releases food easily and is simple to clean? With an ONYX Cookware Hybrid pan you no longer have to choose – you get both benefits in one frying pan.
What makes a hybrid pan special?
A hybrid pan is like a culinary superhero: It combines the best of both worlds.
On one side, you have stainless steel, which loves high temperatures and creates that exceptional sear we all dream of. On the other, you have the non-stick coating, which releases food easily and makes cleaning a breeze.
In ONYX Cookware’s version, the secret is a laser-engraved hexagonal pattern on the frying pan’s surface. The small raised steel areas protect the coating while providing enough contact to brown food perfectly. Inside is a tri-ply construction with an aluminium core that ensures even heat distribution – no cold spots, no unpleasant surprises. The result is a pan that heats up quickly, distributes heat evenly and retains its temperature, giving you consistent results no matter what you are cooking.
The advantage of ONYX Cookware hybrid pans
What really sets our hybrid pans apart from others on the market is their durability and versatility. Hybrid technology protects the coating so it lasts far longer than traditional non-stick frying pans – even when you use metal utensils. You can brown meat over high heat, cook delicate dishes such as fish or omelettes, and finish cooking in the oven without changing frying pans.
Cleaning is simple because food residue comes off easily, and although the frying pan is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing to keep it in top condition for many years. Whether you cook on gas, electric, ceramic or induction hobs, or in the oven, your ONYX Cookware Hybrid pan can keep up.
The technology behind ONYX Cookware hybrid pans
At the heart of our hybrid pans is the laser-engraved hexagonal pattern that gives the frying pan its distinctive appearance and functionality. The steel surface lifts food slightly above the coating so it is not “fried on Teflon”, but is still protected against sticking. The tri-ply construction with aluminium ensures rapid heat absorption and even distribution, giving you full control over your cooking.
This means you can use both very high temperatures for frying and lower, controlled temperatures for simmering dishes – without compromising the result.
How to get the most out of your hybrid pan
-
Always preheat the frying pan – much like a cast iron pan, it performs better when hot from the start.
-
Use a little fat – although it is non-stick, butter or oil improves flavour and texture.
-
Avoid extreme temperature changes – let the frying pan cool slightly before rinsing.
-
Do not be afraid to use metal utensils – the hybrid technology protects against scratches.
-
Keep maintenance simple – although it is dishwasher-safe, hand washing extends its lifespan even further.
One hybrid pan for the whole kitchen
ONYX Cookware Hybrid pans are designed to be just as at home on busy weekday evenings as at large dinner parties. The pan can handle it all – from fried eggs in the morning to slow-roasted meat in the evening. It withstands high heat, works on all hob types and can even go in the oven when the dish calls for it.
It is not just a frying pan, it is a kitchen companion. One you can rely on, whatever you take on.
