The WMF Ultimate stainless steel frying pan is the evolution of the WMF Profi pan, one of the brand's top-of-the-range frying pans: an ultra-flat frying pan inspired by chefs, designed for tender, perfectly seared results.
In this new version, they have achieved an ultra-flat base for 40% more even heating across the cooking surface than most frying pans on the market, giving even more uniform cooking and excellent results... And in less time!
This stainless steel frying pan, with no non-stick coating, free from PFOA and PTFE, and made from surgical steel, is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a pan to fry, sear or sauté all kinds of food with great results, ensuring an even spread of heat and oil for professional results.
It's worth noting that it's an oven-safe frying pan (yes, you can roast, grill or warm your recipes in it in the oven), as well as being compatible with all types of hob, including induction.
With a long, narrow handle for a firm grip, it's a lightweight pan you'll have dancing to the rhythm of the hob, and as well as being practical, it has a beautiful matt satin finish that looks elegant.
What sets the new WMF Ultimate model apart from other frying pans
The ultra-flat Cromargan® base Ultimate (+40% more even heating compared to existing solutions) guarantees perfect heat distribution and a smaller temperature difference across the whole base (more uniform temperature between the centre and the edges of the pan).
Using the same stainless steel for both the base and the body of the pan considerably reduces base concavity, offering:
- A much smaller movement of the base concavity (up to 80% less), and
- An even spread of oil over the pan's surface, so you get even browning (up to 50% less oil is needed, so only 1.5 tablespoons of oil cover the whole base, compared with 3 tablespoons for a standard pan).

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about WMF Ultimate Ultra-Flat Stainless Steel Frying Pan
What's the difference from the Profi pan?
The Ultimate is its evolution. The base and body are made of the same steel, so the base stays ultra-flat: it heats up to 40% more evenly than most pans, from the centre to the edges. It also has a matt satin finish.
Why does it need less oil?
Because its base doesn't bow with the heat, so the oil spreads over the whole surface instead of running to the edges. 1.5 tablespoons cover the base, half as much as a standard pan, and the browning comes out even.
Does it have a non-stick coating?
No. It's made of uncoated 18/10 Cromargan stainless steel, free from PFOA and PTFE. Perfect for searing, browning and sautéing with chef-quality results.
Why does food stick, and how do I avoid it?
Because stainless steel needs the right temperature. Heat the empty pan over medium heat, check that a drop of water rolls around like a ball, add the oil and don't move the food until it releases. You'll find all the tricks in our guide to cooking with stainless steel pans.
Is it suitable for induction and the oven?
Yes. Its TransTherm base works on all hobs, including induction, and you can roast or finish dishes in the oven.
Which size should I choose?
The 20 cm is for 1 or 2 people or for eggs; the 24 cm, for 2 or 3, and it's the most versatile, and the 28 cm, for 4. It has a long, slim, closed stainless steel handle for a firm grip and a wide rim for drip-free pouring.
