Russell Hobbs Metallic Marble 25 cm (9.8 in) review

The cheapest pan in the whole catalog and a straightforward one: 25 cm (9.8 in) of cast aluminum with a marble-effect nonstick surface, flat sides, and every hob type including induction.

What we would actually buy Cheap, cast, and correctly shaped. Buy a 25 cm (9.8 in) spreader with it.

What you are getting

A 25 cm (9.8 in) cast aluminum pan with low, flat sides and a marble-effect nonstick surface. The shape is the specification: a crêpe pan is a frying pan with the walls taken off, so a spreader can reach the rim in one sweep.

What is not in the box

A spreader. It matters more than it sounds, because a spreader must match the pan: a 25 cm (9.8 in) pan wants a 25 cm (9.8 in) spreader, and using a short one is why the first three crêpes tear.

The handle

Soft-touch, comfortable, and not oven safe. For a crêpe pan that is no loss — nothing about crêpes involves an oven.

Where it sits

Bottom of this hub and bottom of the catalog. The pans above it add a spreader, a heavier body, or in one case a completely different material.

Availability

On sale at around $60 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

What we rate, and what we do not

Strengths

  • The lowest price in the catalog, and it does the one job it is for
  • Cast rather than pressed aluminum
  • Works on induction, which not every crêpe pan does

Compromises

  • No spreader included, and a spreader must match the pan diameter
  • Soft-touch handle rules out the oven
  • No stated temperature limit

The questions that come in

Is a spreader included?

No, and it matters: a spreader should match the pan diameter. Using a 20 cm (7.9 in) spreader in a 25 cm (9.8 in) pan is the usual reason the first three crêpes tear.

Can it be used for omelettes?

Yes — the flat, low profile that suits crêpes is the same shape that suits a flat omelette, and the maker describes it as both.

Our score

6.9/ 10

Cheap, cast, and correctly shaped. Buy a 25 cm (9.8 in) spreader with it.
