The Papilla Divided Pan 30cm (also known as the "Double" or "Sectional" pan) is a specialized multi-tasking skillet designed to cook different foods simultaneously without mixing flavors. This makes it an ideal choice for preparing a main dish and a side—such as the fish and vegetables mentioned—in a single pan. Product Specifications Diameter: 30 cm (approx. 11.8 inches). Body: High-gauge 99.5% pure aluminum for fast, even heat conduction across all sections. Divided Design: Features a raised internal partition that splits the cooking surface into two separate compartments. Coating: Equipped with a PFOA-free non-stick surface (often the "Granite" or "Nirvana" reinforced coating) that prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup. Key Features for Cooking Fish Flavor Separation: The distinct sections allow you to sear fish fillets in one side while sautéing vegetables or searing lemon slices in the other, ensuring the delicate flavors of the fish remain pure. Healthy Searing: The non-stick surface is designed for low-fat cooking, requiring very little oil to achieve a perfect, flaky finish on salmon, sea bass, or tilapia. Safety: The coating is entirely free of harmful toxins like lead and cadmium, ensuring a healthy meal for your family. Stay-Cool Handle: Features an ergonomic Bakelite handle that remains cool to the touch on the stovetop for safe maneuvering. Care & Compatibility Stovetop Use: Compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic hobs. Note that standard aluminum models are generally not induction-safe unless they belong to Papilla's specialized induction series with a magnetic base. Cleaning: Hand-washing with a soft sponge is highly recommended to preserve the non-stick partitions. Utensils: Use silicone, wood, or plastic tools to prevent scratching the interior surface.
