What Is a Hybrid Pan?

Here’s everything you need to know about ONYX Cookware’s most versatile frying pan.

If you love cooking, you’ve probably faced this dilemma: should you choose a stainless steel frying pan that can handle high heat and give you the perfect sear, or a non-stick frying pan where food releases easily and cleanup is a breeze?

With an ONYX Cookware Hybrid Pan, you no longer have to choose – you get both benefits in one pan.

What Makes a Hybrid Pan Special?

A hybrid pan is like a culinary superhero – combining the best of both worlds.

On one side, you have stainless steel, which thrives under high heat and creates that unbeatable golden sear we all love. On the other, you have a non-stick coating, which allows food to release effortlessly and makes cleaning quick and easy.

In ONYX Cookware’s version, the secret lies in a laser-etched hexagon pattern on the cooking surface. The small raised stainless steel areas protect the coating while providing just the right amount of contact to brown food perfectly.

Inside, you’ll find a tri-ply construction with an aluminum core, ensuring even heat distribution – no cold spots, no unpleasant surprises.

The result is a pan that heats up quickly, spreads heat evenly, and holds temperature, so you get consistent results no matter what you’re cooking.

The Benefits of ONYX Cookware Hybrid Pans

What truly sets our hybrid pans apart from others on the market is their durability and versatility.

The hybrid technology protects the non-stick coating, making it last much longer than traditional non-stick pans – even when using metal utensils.

You can sear meat at high heat, prepare delicate dishes like fish or omelettes, and even finish dishes in the oven without switching pans.

Cleaning is easy because food residue releases effortlessly. While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend handwashing to keep it in top condition for many years.

Whether you’re cooking on gas, electric, ceramic, induction, or in the oven – your ONYX Cookware Hybrid Pan can handle it all.

The Technology Behind ONYX Cookware Hybrid Pans

At the heart of our hybrid pans is the laser-etched hexagon pattern that gives them their distinctive look and functionality.

The stainless steel surface slightly raises food above the coating, preventing it from “cooking in Teflon” while still protecting it from sticking.

The tri-ply construction with an aluminum core ensures rapid heat absorption and even distribution, giving you full control over your cooking.

This means you can work with very high temperatures for searing as well as lower, controlled temperatures for simmering – without compromising on results.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Hybrid Pan

• Always preheat the pan – just like with cast iron, results improve when you start hot.
  

• Use a little fat – even though it’s non-stick, butter or oil will add better flavor and texture.
  

• Avoid extreme temperature changes – let the pan cool slightly before rinsing.
  

• Don’t be afraid of metal utensils – the hybrid technology protects against scratches.
  

• Easy maintenance – while dishwasher safe, handwashing will extend its lifespan even further.
