ProCook Elite Forged Non-Stick Frying Pan
Our verdict · The best balance of durability, everyday release and long-run value for most UK kitchens.
Buy it if
You want one do-everything non-stick pan that stays non-stick for years and can handle a powerful induction hob.
Skip it if
You're on the tightest budget, want a lightweight pan, or specifically want a PTFE/PFAS-free coating.

ProCook's Elite Forged pairs a heavy forged hard-anodised aluminium body with a triple-layer PFOA-free non-stick, and it's the pick we'd steer most home cooks toward. It works on all hobs including induction, is oven-safe to 260C and dishwasher safe, and the substantial forged gauge resists the warping that can distort thinner pans on high-power induction. What separates it from the cheaper Tefal below is longevity: the 25-year guarantee signals a far longer usable non-stick life than a budget PTFE pan that often fades in a year or two, which is what earns it the top slot. The trade-off versus the Tefal is roughly double the price and a heavier pan; versus GreenPan or Our Place, it's still a PTFE coating rather than PFAS-free. Sold individually in 22cm, 26cm and 30cm; prices are indicative.
The good & the bad
Pros
- 25-year guarantee points to a long non-stick lifespan — far beyond typical budget PTFE pans
- Heavy forged hard-anodised body resists warping on high-power induction and spreads heat evenly
- Oven-safe to 260C and dishwasher safe, with a triple-layer PFOA-free coating
Cons
- Heavier than a budget aluminium pan and pricier than the Tefal
- Still a PTFE-type coating, so no help if you specifically want PFAS-free
