Stainless Steel Skillets – Frequently Asked Questions (NZ Edition)
What makes a stainless steel skillet a good choice for cooking?
Stainless steel skillets are known for durability, heat control, and even cooking. Unlike non-stick pans, they can handle high temperatures for searing and browning without warping or peeling. They’re also non-reactive, so your food tastes clean and natural every time.
Are stainless steel skillets safe for everyday use?
Yes. Stainless steel cookware is 100% safe and toxin-free, containing no harmful coatings or chemicals. It’s one of the healthiest options for everyday use in New Zealand homes, ideal for searing, frying, or sautéing your favourite dishes.
How do I stop food from sticking to my stainless steel skillet?
Preheat your skillet properly before adding oil or butter. Once the oil shimmers, add your food. This helps create a natural barrier between food and the pan surface. Avoid flipping too early—once cooked, food releases easily on its own.
Can stainless steel skillets be used on induction cooktops?
Yes, most stainless steel skillets from The Living Styles are induction-compatible. They have magnetic bases that heat quickly and evenly, and also work perfectly on gas, ceramic, and electric cooktops—ideal for any Kiwi kitchen.
Do stainless steel skillets need special cleaning?
Not really. Use warm water and mild detergent for daily cleaning. For tough marks, simmer vinegar or baking soda in the pan, then rinse. Avoid harsh scrubbing pads to maintain shine. Many of our skillets are also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
Why are stainless steel skillets more expensive than non-stick pans?
Stainless steel skillets are an investment in quality and longevity. They resist warping, handle high heat, and can last for decades. While non-stick pans need replacing over time, a good stainless steel skillet is built to last for years of consistent cooking.
Are stainless steel skillets oven-safe?
Yes. Most stainless steel skillets are oven-safe up to 260°C, making them ideal for finishing dishes in the oven. Always check the handle type—metal handles can go in the oven, while silicone ones may have lower temperature limits.
What are the best stainless steel skillet sizes for New Zealand kitchens?
Popular skillet sizes in NZ are 24 cm for single meals, 28 cm for everyday use, and 30–32 cm for family-sized dishes. Pick your size based on how many people you cook for and your preferred cooking style.
How do I make my stainless steel skillet shiny again?
Use a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and vinegar. Rub gently in circular motions to remove stains and restore shine. With regular care, your pan will look brand new for years.
