HAWKINS Nonstick Appe Pan 20 cm — 12-Cup Cast Aluminium with Glass Lid, PFOA-Free Nonstick

The HAWKINS Nonstick Appe Pan is a 20 cm die-cast cast-aluminium pan with a glass lid and twelve 25 ml cups, designed for even heating and easy release.

This compact, 12-cup appe pan brings professional features—die-cast metal, a PFOA-free German three-coat nonstick interior, and a ceramic-coated exterior—into a kitchen-sized package. It includes a tempered glass lid and an integrated bracket-cum-flame guard on the handle so the pan heats uniformly while remaining light to lift and simple to clean. The pan suits gas and electric stovetops and is sized for family snacks, breakfast, and small-batch cooking.

How does the die-cast construction affect cooking performance?

Die-cast technology places metal where strength and heat transfer are needed most, producing a body that warms evenly without excessive weight. That even heat distribution reduces hot spots, helping batter and small items cook uniformly across all twelve cups.

• Die-cast aluminium for consistent, fast heating
• Lightweight handling compared with solid iron pans
• Stable base suited to gas and electric burners

Will food stick to the pan, and how durable is the nonstick surface?

The interior uses a German three-coat PFOA-free nonstick system intended to provide longer life and smoother release than single-layer coatings. Proper utensil choice (silicone, wood) and moderate heat extend the surface life and keep release performance optimal.

• PFOA-free German 3-coat nonstick for easy release
• Avoid metal utensils and high heat to preserve the coating
• Hand-wash recommended to maintain nonstick durability

What features make the pan safe and convenient to handle?

The pan includes an integrated bracket-cum-flame guard on the handle that helps keep the handle cooler and prevents loosening over time. A tempered glass lid lets you monitor cooking without lifting, preserving steam and heat for consistent results.

• Bracket-cum-flame guard keeps handle cooler and secure
• Tempered glass lid for visual monitoring
• Compact 20 cm diameter fits crowded stovetops and small kitchens

How many servings or uses does a 12-cup pan support?

Each of the 12 individual cups holds about 25 ml, suitable for bite-sized snacks, mini pancakes, appe, or small egg portions. It’s ideal for making a dozen small items at once or for multi-flavor batches when serving guests or children.

• 12 cups × 25 ml each — perfect for small-portion cooking
• Make mixed-flavor batches without cross-contamination
• Efficient for breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, or snack prep

Who is this for: Home cooks who want a compact, reliable pan for making multiple small portions at once—families preparing breakfast, hosts creating bite-sized appetizers, and cooks who value even heating with easy cleanup. It’s also a good pick for anyone seeking a durable, lightweight pan with professional-style coatings and a see-through lid for controlled cooking.
