Decakila Grill Pan 26cm Nonstick Forged Aluminium Kmep016b

Our review

This Decakila grill pan is a 26cm forged pan built around a 4.0mm thick aluminium rim, which is the part that matters most for spreading heat evenly across the cooking surface instead of leaving hot spots in the middle. The black marble nonstick coating is PFOA-free, so it is aimed at cooks who want to use less oil without giving up browning. It suits someone cooking for one or two people, or a small household doing quick weekday meals like eggs, seared vegetables, fish or thin cuts of meat. Because it is forged rather than stamped, it should feel more solid in the hand, though that also makes it heavier than a thin pan. Before buying, check the base diameter against your hob, and confirm whether the handle is oven-safe, since that detail is not listed. Compare it with other 26cm nonstick pans by looking at coating type, rim thickness and whether the handle stays cool. Treat the coating gently, use medium heat and avoid metal utensils to keep it performing.
