The WMF Flavour Cast Iron Frying Pan is much more than just a pan.

A 28 cm sauté-style frying pan, handcrafted in Germany, showcasing the finest traditional craftsmanship. It’s a unique, timeless piece, made to last a lifetime, and designed to deliver wonderful results thanks to its perfect heat retention and distribution.

What makes the WMF Flavour cast iron frying pan special

Among its many qualities, the pan’s cast iron construction and modern yet timeless design, inspired by traditional French sauté pans, make it an essential piece in any kitchen. It stands out for:

• Its excellent heat retention and distribution. Cast iron absorbs and retains heat exceptionally well, spreading it evenly throughout the pan. It’s ideal for cooking at high temperatures without needing full power, thanks to cast iron’s efficiency. A pan perfect for sautéing, frying, searing, browning, reducing, roasting and stewing. And also for slow-cooked dishes and stews.
• The black matte enamel coating gives it great elegance and means it does not require seasoning before use. It's a long-lasting coating, free from artificial non-stick layers. The pan is naturally non-stick and built to last. Over time and use, the enamel develops a patina that enhances its natural non-stick properties.
  
• It is suitable for all types of hobs, including induction, and also oven safe up to 250 °C. This makes it highly functional – start your recipes on the hob and finish them in the oven without changing cookware.
• Its sauté-style design with high, straight sides provides greater capacity and versatility. It's not just a 28 cm frying pan for frying, sautéing, searing or roasting; it’s also a 28 cm shallow casserole with a 3.4-litre capacity, ideal for braising, stewing, making sauces and reductions, even brothy rice dishes and risottos. It’s also a superb baking dish for bread, cakes, sweet or savoury tarts, pizzas and pasties.
  
• Its artisanal production. The Flavour pan is handmade in Germany. This artisanal process makes each sauté pan a unique piece, reflecting the perfect imperfections of handcrafted cookware – perfectly functional, yet no two are exactly alike. Each pan has a unique production number.
  
• Its handle and support grip. At 28 cm and made from solid cast iron, it's not a light pan, so the side grip helps with safe and comfortable handling. Both the handle and the grip are made of cast iron, so they get hot during cooking, whether on the hob or in the oven. Always use oven gloves or pot holders.
  
• It is robust and built to last a lifetime. It comes with a 30-year guarantee for the enamelled surface, inside and out. To protect the enamel, always cook using wooden, nylon or heat-resistant silicone utensils. Do not use sharp metal utensils.
  
• Its easy cleaning. The enamel surface makes handwashing simple and convenient. As it is cast iron, it is not dishwasher safe, but it cleans easily with a soft sponge.

Note: To cook with the Flavour pan, preheat it slowly and always with a little oil (never heat it empty). Heat over a medium/low setting and allow it to warm evenly to take full advantage of the iron’s heat retention and efficiency.
