10 products compared, grouped by what they are for rather than by brand or by price.
28 cm · titanium-reinforced ceramic · heavy cast body · solid stainless cold handle · hanging loop
The heaviest and dearest pan in this hub, sold on its construction rather than its coating: a massive body that the maker states spreads heat right to the rim, and a solid stainless handle that stays hand-warm.
Best for: Someone replacing a warped pan and unwilling to do it again.
≈ 50 €
28 cm · nonstick over stainless with aluminium core · oven safe · dishwasher safe · pouring rim
Stainless steel outside, aluminium core inside, nonstick within — and unusually for this price, the maker states it is both oven safe and dishwasher safe, with a pouring rim right around.
Best for: A household that wants one coated pan that can follow a dish into the oven.
≈ £18 / 28 €
28 cm · ceramic nonstick · PFAS-free surface stated · induction · hand wash only
The cheapest pan in this hub and the one with the clearest instructions: Blackmoor states a ceramic, PFAS-free cooking surface and an aluminium body, and states plainly that the pan is neither dishwasher nor oven safe.
Best for: A first pan, a student kitchen, or a spare that will be replaced without regret.
≈ £16 / 19 €
28 cm · granite-effect nonstick · cast aluminium · magnetised base · dishwasher safe
A granite-effect coated cast aluminium pan with a magnetised base for induction. The maker states the coating is free of PFOA, lead and cadmium, and that the pan is dishwasher safe.
Best for: Someone who wants a coated pan that can go in the dishwasher without an argument.
≈ £23 / 23 €
28 cm · 4.7 cm deep · 2.3 L · induction base 22.8 cm · cast aluminium · dishwasher safe
The only pan in this hub that publishes its own dimensions in full: 28 cm across, 4.7 cm deep, 2.3 litres, and an induction contact area of 22.8 cm — which is the figure that actually decides how it heats.
Best for: Anyone who wants to know the actual dimensions before buying, and cooks on induction.
≈ 42 €
20 cm blade · stainless · ergonomic handle · blade guard included
The cheapest chef’s knife in the catalogue, and it arrives with a blade guard — which is the accessory a knife in a drawer actually needs.
Best for: A first knife, a second kitchen, or a knife you will not mind lending.
≈ 10 €
20 cm blade · German knife steel · acacia wood handle · ergonomic
A 20 cm blade in German knife steel with an acacia wood handle — the only knife in this hub with a wooden grip at this price.
Best for: Someone who wants the feel of wood and will wash the knife by hand.
≈ 23 €
20 cm blade · X30Cr14 chrome-vanadium hardened steel · full tang · balanced
A 20 cm knife that names its steel — X30Cr14 chrome-vanadium — and states a full tang running to the end of the handle, which is more than most knives at this price publish.
Best for: Someone who wants a knife that is easy to bring back on a steel.
≈ 18 €
20 cm blade · FRIODUR ice-hardened special steel · deep bolster · made in Germany · seamless handle
A German-made 20 cm knife with Zwilling’s FRIODUR ice-hardening, a deep bolster and a seamless handle join — the construction that keeps water out of the handle.
Best for: A knife bought once, for a kitchen that cooks daily.
≈ 50 €
20 cm blade · forged from one piece · stated 58 HRC · laser-measured edge · stainless
The top of this hub and the only knife in it that publishes a hardness: forged from a single piece of Wüsthof steel, stated at 58 Rockwell, with a laser-measured cutting edge.
Best for: The knife you sharpen for thirty years.
≈ 95 €
