Ballarini Professional Pan Features

Large, Low-Flared Cooking Surface

The extra-wide pan gives you plenty of room to sear, stir, and flip without crowding food. Great for steaks, vegetables, or one-pan meals.

Fast, Even Heating

Made from thick aluminum that reacts quickly to heat and spreads it evenly, so ingredients cook at the same rate no matter where they sit in the pan.

Reliable Nonstick Interior

Food slides out easily, even with little to no oil. The coating is built to handle repeated high-heat use without scratching or peeling.

Long, Chef-Style Handle

The stainless steel handle stays cooler than the pan, offers good balance when lifting, and gives you full control over the flame.

What Users Are Saying

I bought this pan for my kitchen because I needed something big enough to sear multiple steaks at once, and it does the job perfectly. It heats fast, holds the temperature well, and the low sides make it easy to flip and plate food. This is definitely a true professional pan, not a lightweight home version.

—— Marco Santini,

Restaurant Owner, New York

I use this pan for large-portion cooking and sautéing vegetables for events, and the size is a game changer. The nonstick surface still looks great after months of daily use, and the handle stays cool even over high flame. You do need space to store it, but if you cook in volume, it’s worth it.

—— Elaine Wu,

Catering Chef, California

This pan is bigger than anything I’ve owned, but I’m glad I bought it. I can cook a whole stir-fry or six chicken thighs without crowding the pan. It’s solid and heavier than a standard skillet, so it feels very durable. Just make sure you have a big enough burner and cabinet space before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This pan is part of Ballarini’s Professionale line, which is designed for restaurants, catering kitchens, and high-volume cooking. The size, thicker aluminum body, and low-flared shape are all features normally found in professional skillets, not standard home cookware.

The shallow, outward-angled sides make it easier to stir, toss, and slide food out of the pan. It also helps liquids reduce faster, which is useful for searing, sautéing, finishing sauces, or cooking large batches of vegetables and proteins.

Yes, the cooking surface is 48 cm long and 24 cm wide, with a capacity of about 10 liters. It can hold 6–8 steaks, a family-size stir-fry, or several portions of pasta sauce at once, depending on the recipe.

The nonstick coating is durable but not fully metal-utensil safe. It is best to use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to extend the life of the coating, especially in a high-heat kitchen.

The aluminum body and steel handle can tolerate high heat, but the brand does not list an exact maximum temperature for this model. Since there is no silicone or plastic on the handle, most users safely use it in the oven at moderate temperatures, but it is not advertised as a guaranteed oven-safe pan.

No, this Professional model is sold as an open pan only. Ballarini does not make a dedicated lid for this size, but universal lids sized 24 cm can be used on the inner surface.

The listing says yes, but hand washing is recommended for longer nonstick life, especially in commercial kitchens where detergent and heat cycles are stronger than at home.
