Stainless pans are cookware items made primarily from stainless steel, a durable and corrosion-resistant metal. In simple terms, they’re versatile kitchen pans designed for frying, sautéing, boiling, and general cooking, offering long-lasting performance and a polished, professional look.
Here’s why Australians love stainless pans: they provide even heat distribution, resist rust, and maintain their sleek appearance over time. The main reason for their popularity is durability—stainless pans are ideal for everyday cooking, from quick breakfasts to elaborate dinners.
