Best in test – and completely uncoated
In December 2025, the jury at the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet named the Scanpan Fusion 5 the best uncoated frying pan in their major test of 22 pans. No non-stick surface to wear out, no coating to worry about. Just stainless steel that handles high heat and delivers the kind of sear that makes all the difference on a steak.
Five layers that actually do the job
The name comes from the construction: five layers of metal pressed together for maximum heat conduction.
- Layer 1: stainless steel (inner, 18/10)
- Layer 2: aluminium alloy
- Layer 3: pure aluminium
- Layer 4: aluminium alloy
- Layer 5: stainless steel (outer, 18/0 – induction-friendly)
The aluminium core spreads heat quickly and evenly, even up the sides. The result: shorter cooking times and no hot spots in the middle of the pan.
Details you'll notice every time
A drip-free rim keeps the fat in the pan and off the stove. A measuring scale on the inside for when the recipe wants precision. On the lid's mirror-polished surface, the Scanpan logo reflects down from the handle - the kind of detail that shows how much work has gone into it.
Built for everyday use
Works on all heat sources, induction included. Oven-safe up to 250°C, so you can start on the hob and finish in the oven. The polished surface is easy to keep clean, and the pan is dishwasher-safe - though hand-washing keeps the mirror shine longest.
