Amazon Basics 28 cm (11 in) stainless nonstick review

Stainless steel outside, aluminum 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.

What we would actually buy The specification here is better than the price suggests. The missing figure is the oven limit, which is the one you would want before using it.

What you are getting

A 28 cm (11 in) pan built as stainless steel around an aluminum core, with a nonstick interior. That construction is what allows the maker to state both oven and dishwasher use, where an aluminum-bodied pan with a plastic handle can offer neither.

The rim

A pouring rim right around the pan is a small thing that gets noticed daily. It is the difference between tipping a pan sauce into a jug and wiping the outside of the pan afterwards.

The figure to ask for

The listing states the pan is oven safe and does not say to what temperature. That number is what decides whether it can finish a frittata under a moderate oven or not, and it belongs on the page.

Where it sits

Mid-range in this hub by price, and better specified than the two below it. What separates it from the pans above is body construction and handle material rather than the coating.

What we rate, and what we do not

Strengths

  • Oven safe and dishwasher safe, both stated — uncommon together at this price
  • Pouring rim right around, which is the detail that stops a sauce running down the outside
  • Stainless body with an aluminum core rather than bare aluminum

Compromises

  • No temperature limit published for either the oven or the coating
  • No base thickness published
  • The sloped sides that make tossing easy also reduce the flat cooking area

The questions that come in

How hot can it go in the oven?

The maker states the pan is oven safe and does not publish a temperature. Without that figure, treat a moderate oven as the sensible ceiling and check the listing again before using it under a grill.

Does the aluminum core reach the sides?

The listing states an aluminum core for even heat distribution without saying whether it is a disc or full cladding. A disc heats the base only, which is fine for frying and less good for reducing.
