Ultimate versatility Stack it. Cook it. Bake it. Serve it. Store it.
Ultimate versatility
Stack it. Cook it. Bake it. Serve it. Store it.
Thanks to the clever detachable handle, the Ingenio Elegance pots and pans stack neatly inside each other for easy storage. With no need to make room for any handles, you’ll have up to 50% more space** in your cupboards!
Start cooking on the hob then use the handle to move the pan to the oven. Minus the handle, each pan doubles as an ovenproof dish – ideal for those dishes you start off by frying on the hob then finish in the oven. With its sparkling grey exterior, Ingenio Elegance cookware also makes a beautiful serving dish once the handle is removed. So, you can go straight from oven to table.
Once cooled, these practical pans can also be used to store leftovers in the fridge – just attach the Ingenio airtight lid. You can even reheat food in the same cookware. Better still, these pots and pans are dishwasher safe! This is cooking made simple.
**Compared to Tefal fixed handle ranges.
100% safe and secure detachable handle

It’s incredibly easy to use with one hand. Simply press the lever under the handle to attach it in one click. To release, just squeeze the two side buttons simultaneously.
It’s 100% safe: three fixation points keep it secure*** and it’s proven to carry loads of up to 10kg****. What’s more, every Ingenio Bakelite handle comes with a 10-year guarantee*****.

Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 June 2021Useless after 6 monthsI bought this thinking that it would last me a few years.At the beginning it worked amazingly well, the non-stick was fantastic and I love the design with the removable handle.Unfortunately, within 6 months the non-stick coating stopped working/started peeling off.I made sure to clean this pan using only the soft side of the sponge and I always use a silicone spatula for cooking.I'm very disappointed with this product. If you are happy to replace your pan every 6 months then this is a great pan. But if you are looking for something that will last you a few years then don't bother with this.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2020Teflon peeled away after only 6 monthsWaste of money. Lasted 6 months before the Teflon coating started to peel away. Always used non metallic utensils with it. Always washed by hand. Will never buy Teflon coated again. Decided to try scanpan instead. Much more expensive but apparently made to last. Time will tell.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2020Use it everyday, and still looks goodWe use it everyday, and still looks good.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2020Dose not work with induction hobI bought this for my bother who absolutely loves itsSo I bought one for my self and its not compatible with an induction hob. So gave it to the mother inlaw who swears by it as well
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2021FAKE !!!!!!!Not ingenio compatable . You show picks of my pans with removable lids . But these don’t match ,the bottom of pan is just a printed bottom with ingenio printed . ( which just rubs off ) Took to my menarys to have it looked at they stated wasn’t a genuine pan won’t work with a induction hob so I don’t know why you have pictures of pans that would . AVOID .!!!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 August 2019Need TLC to manintain the non-stick coating, but worth it for the convenience.I have this frying pan, and the set of 3 saucepans, in my camper - the removable handles make them very small-space-friendly. Expensive for camping, but worth it for the convenience. The non-stick coating really is non-stick - but doesn’t seem very durable. I only use wooden or plastic utensils, and a sponge for washing up, but the large pan is showing signs of damage in the coating already - after half a dozen or so uses.Look after them!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2019Misshapen when heated.The pan does not retain its shape when heated. The is a significant and annoying bulge in the centre of the pan, causing liquids to pool in a ring around the outside. I think the metal is too thin for a large diameter pan.Removable handle is good for our grill which requires a closed oven door.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2018Good Quality Frying PanI like this pan very much. I bought it because I wanted a good quality larger frying pan. It is solid, well made and versatile. I use it stove top and in the oven. The detachable handle (sold separately) is easy to attach and detach, even when the pan is hot. Not having its own handle makes it very easy to stack with my other pans when not in use. The nonstick coating is exactly that. I have always liked my Tefal pans and this one did not disappoint. I am definitely going to buy again from the Ingenio range.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2020VersatileBought these on recommendation, and they haven't disappointed!High quality products and the versatility of being able to slip them into the oven to finish off a dish is invaluable.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2021Love itReally great for both stove and oven use. Easy to clean and lightweight. Only problem are some scratches on the bottom after only few use...probably caused by the electric hob, even tho it says is suitable.
Customer questions and answers
- Does it come with a handle? Or do you have to buy one ?I bought a '3 piece trial offer' - 2 smaller frypans and a handle. Then I bought a 30cm frypan which came without a handle, so I ordered another handle. I don't think I can be of much help to you really because my first purchase was a trial offer. I only bought the second handle as it was useful for me to do so. I … see more I bought a '3 piece trial offer' - 2 smaller frypans and a handle. Then I bought a 30cm frypan which came without a handle, so I ordered another handle. I don't think I can be of much help to you really because my first purchase was a trial offer. I only bought the second handle as it was useful for me to do so. I have re-checked the Amazon website however, and it would appear that the frypan descriptions tell you whether it does or does not include a handle. see less
- I have one of these frying pans. i would like a bigger one. what size hob ring do you need to accommodate the 30cm? is the frying surface 1cm large all the way around?? thanksSorry - I don't know.
- Does an amazon basics removable handle fit these?Tefal would always recommend using their Ingenio handles with the pan.
- Can this fry pan also be used in the oven with or without the handle?The handle must not be used in the OVEN. When the pan is used in oven the underneath of the food being cooked burns easily.
