Tefal's 30cm Comfort Max Stainless Steel Frying Pan, usually retailing at £40, is currently reduced to £24.99 on Amazon, saving shoppers £15, or 38%. The pan has been praised by shoppers for allowing them to cook 'even without oil'.
Features and savings
According to Tefal, the brand's 'innovative' Thermo-Spot heat indicator clearly shows when the pan has reached the optimum cooking temperature, 'eliminating guesswork and ensuring perfectly cooked meals'. Tefal claims its 'superior' non-stick coating ensures smooth food release, allowing users to cook with minimal oil and making clean-up quick and easy.
The pans are designed for use on all stovetop types, including induction, and are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The ergonomically designed handle is said to provide a comfortable and secure grip that stays cool during cooking.
Shopper reviews
The Tefal Comfort Max has a 4.7-star rating on Amazon, with more than 600 five-star reviews. One shopper wrote: “Excellent non-stick - even without oil. Very impressed with this pan so far. The non-stick performance is excellent - I tested it by cooking an egg with zero oil, and it didn’t stick at all. It cooked evenly and slid straight off, which really shows how good the coating is.
“The build quality feels solid with a sturdy stainless steel body, and the handle is comfortable to hold. The Thermo-Spot heat indicator is a nice touch and helps get the timing right before cooking, heating up evenly across the surface.
“Overall, we are really enjoying it at the moment. It performs very well, and if it holds up over time, it will be an excellent buy.”
Alternative deals
Elsewhere on the market, Debenhams shoppers can save almost 50% on the 24cm Non Stick Ventryn Stainless Steel Induction Hex Frying Pan. The honeycomb-patterned pan features a three-layer non-stick with PFOA-free coating for 'excellent food release' and low-oil cooking.
At a similar price point, the 28cm Tower Smart Start Classic Non-Stick Aluminium MultiPan is currently £24 at Dunelm. This model earned five-star reviews from shoppers, with users praising its 'perfect size deep enough to use as a wok' and 'perfect non-stick.'
Another simply said: “Great product, good value, easy to clean.” While one shopper branded it a 'fantastic non-stick pan,' writing: “Very, very non-stick. This is a well-made frying pan. When I say well-made, it is on the heavy side, but it would be. Used on an induction hob.”
One buyer was disappointed it didn’t come supplied with a lid, while another advised elderly users to go for a lighter pan, writing: “A great frying pan. My only criticism would be the weight of it, but it is made from stainless steel, so it was only to be expected, really. Choose their lighter one if you are an OAP, would be my advice.”
Meanwhile, a reviewer going by the name 'Tedster' wrote: “Best pan I’ve ever used or owned. Fried eggs come out perfect every time. Can’t recommend enough”.
