Material & Build Quality

At the heart of the INF24 is its hard-anodized aluminum body, which ensures rapid and even heat distribution across the surface. Anodizing also makes the aluminum surface non-reactive, scratch-resistant, and highly durable. It is further enhanced with Hawkins’ premium non-stick coating, which is PFOA-free, making it safe for everyday cooking.

The pan’s black finish is not just aesthetic — it contributes to faster heat absorption, leading to better cooking performance and lower energy consumption. The body is crafted for sturdiness and longevity, offering years of use with proper care.

Non-Stick Coating

One of the highlights of the INF24 pan is its advanced non-stick coating that allows you to cook with minimal oil, promoting a healthier lifestyle. It helps in cooking delicate foods such as eggs, pancakes, fish fillets, and cutlets without sticking or breaking apart. The coating also ensures effortless food release and easy cleanup after cooking.

This coating is bonded to the anodized base using high-strength adhesion techniques, which prevents peeling or flaking. It is tested to last for thousands of cooking cycles under normal household use.

Induction Compatibility

Unlike many older non-stick pans that only work on gas stoves, the INF24 features a special ferromagnetic base that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops. This is an important advantage in modern kitchens where induction cooking is preferred for its speed, safety, and energy efficiency.

The base is flat and stable, ensuring uniform contact with the cooking surface, whether gas or induction, improving heat transfer and saving cooking time.

Ergonomic Handle Design

The pan features a cool-touch Bakelite handle that stays cool even when the pan gets hot. The handle is securely riveted and designed for a firm and comfortable grip, ensuring safe handling during cooking. The extended handle length offers better balance and control, especially when tossing or flipping food.

Some variants may also come with an optional helper handle on the opposite side for better support when lifting the pan.

Ideal for Multiple Cooking Needs

The Hawkins INF24 frying pan is incredibly versatile and well-suited for:

• Frying puris, samosas, or kebabs

• Cooking scrambled eggs or omelettes

• Sautéing vegetables and paneer

• Making dosas, chillas, or pancakes

• Stir-frying noodles or pasta

• Shallow frying fish or cutlets

Its 24 cm diameter is perfect for cooking medium-sized portions, ideal for couples or small families.

Easy Maintenance & Cleaning

Thanks to its non-stick surface, the pan is very easy to clean. Simply allow the pan to cool, wipe with a soft sponge using mild dish soap, and rinse. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, as these can damage the coating.

While dishwashers are not recommended, cleaning by hand is usually sufficient to maintain the coating’s integrity for a long time.
