WMF Ultimate Stainless Steel Frying Pan with 2 Handles, 24 cm

Elegant, versatile and featuring an ultra-flat base for faster, more even heating, the WMF Ultimate 24 cm stainless steel sauté pan with 2 handles will bring you joy in the kitchen and at the table. This premium pan, inspired by chef kitchens, is the evolution of the Profi 2‑handle pan, one of the top-tier models from the German brand. With a sober, functional design, it can also serve as a low casserole, roaster, paella pan, or griddle on both hob and in the oven.

The Ultimate pan boasts an ultra-flat diffusion base delivering 40 % more even heat distribution across the cooking surface than most pans on the market. The result is more consistent cooking in less time, with better energy efficiency.

Made from premium Cromargan stainless steel, without non-stick coatings, PFOA or PTFE, it is ideal for frying, searing or sautéing all kinds of foods with outstanding results, ensuring even heat and oil distribution for professional-level outcomes.

It allows you to cook at high temperatures or gently simmer dishes. Sturdy yet lightweight, the two hollow handles offer comfortable handling. Ideal for tossing vegetables, searing meat, frying potatoes, preparing risotto and stews, saucy dishes or roasting a chicken in the oven (resistant up to 250 °C). Dishwasher-safe.

This pan is a real all-rounder. The two hollow handles remain cool to the touch, offering safe, secure grip. Cook efficiently with reduced energy use.

What sets the new Ultimate WMF model apart from other pans

The ultra-flat Cromargan® base Ultimate (+40 % more uniform heating compared to standard solutions) ensures perfect heat distribution and reduced temperature differential across the base (ensuring even heat from centre to rim).

Using the same stainless steel for the pan body and base is brilliant because:

• It greatly reduces bottom warping, cutting distortion by up to 80 %.
• Oil spreads evenly, resulting in uniform browning (requiring up to 50 % less oil – approx. 1½ tbsp vs 3 tbsp).
