SILBERTHAL 28 cm (11 in) three-layer base review

An 18/10 stainless pan with a stated three-layer base around an aluminum core, and the highest published heat figure in this hub: 400 °C (752 °F).

What we would actually buy The construction is stated, which is rare and welcome. Read the 400 °C (752 °F) as what the metal tolerates, not as a setting to use.

What you are getting

A 28 cm (11 in) uncoated 18/10 stainless pan built on a stated three-layer base with an aluminum core, with a pouring rim and a cool handle. SILBERTHAL publishes both the alloy and the base construction, which is more than most listings in this category manage.

What the layer count means

Steel alone conducts poorly. A three-layer base puts aluminum between two stainless skins under the cooking surface, which is what makes the base heat evenly. Whether that layer continues up the walls — full cladding — is not stated, and it is the difference between a good frying pan and a good sauté pan.

The 400 °C (752 °F) figure

It describes what the pan tolerates, not a temperature to cook at. No domestic oven reaches it and no hob needs it. Read it as “there is no handle or coating here to limit you”, which is the useful version of the same fact.

Against the pan above it

The Fissler in this hub is dearer, published to 230 °C (446 °F) in the oven, and made in Germany. The choice between them is brand and finish rather than specification.

What we rate, and what we do not

Strengths

  • Publishes its base construction — three layers with an aluminum core — which most listings do not
  • The highest stated heat figure in this hub, at 400 °C (752 °F)
  • Pouring rim and a cool handle, both of which get used daily

Compromises

  • Second most expensive here, and the pan above it publishes a lower oven figure with more brand behind it
  • No base thickness in millimeters, only the layer count
  • 400 °C (752 °F) is a material statement rather than a cooking recommendation

The questions that come in

Is 400 °C (752 °F) a temperature to cook at?

No. It is a statement about what the material tolerates. No domestic oven reaches it and no hob needs it — read it as "there is no handle or coating here to limit you".

What does the three-layer base do?

It puts aluminum between two stainless layers under the cooking surface, because stainless alone conducts heat poorly. Whether that layer continues up the walls is not stated, and that is the difference between a frying pan and a sauté pan.

Our score

8.1/ 10
