How do I clean and maintain the non-stick surface of this MAKO saute pan?

To keep the non-stick coating in great shape, hand wash the pan with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Also, it's best to avoid high heat cooking to preserve the non-stick layer longer.

Does this pan come with a lid, and what benefits does the lid offer?

Yes, the MAKO Genius 5-Ply Saute Pan comes with a snug-fitting lid that helps trap heat and moisture. This makes it ideal for cooking dishes that require simmering or retaining juices, enhancing flavor and cooking efficiency.

Can I use metal utensils with the MAKO Genius 5-Ply Non-Stick Saute Pan?

For the best care of the non-stick surface, it's recommended to avoid metal utensils. Instead, use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prevent scratching and maintain the pan’s longevity.

What makes the 5-ply construction of the MAKO Genius saute pan better than regular pans?

The 5-ply design means the pan has five layers of different metals that provide superior heat retention and even heat distribution. This ensures your food cooks evenly without hot spots, improving cooking performance and making it easier to achieve perfect results every time.

For generations, the saute pan has been a key tool of chefs and home cooks alike. With the MAKO Saute Pan, you’re getting this traditional piece of cookware upgraded with the very latest technology.

Available in non-stick and stainless steel.

Master quick sears, golden browning, reduction sauces and effortless one-pan meals - all with the control of tall, straight sides that keep everything contained as you move from stovetop to oven.

It’s been a go-to piece for chefs for years, which is why we’ve taken this timeless shape and elevated it with modern 5-ply technology. The long cool touch handle offers balance and manoeuvrability, while the tempered glass lid lets you keep an eye on your dish without lifting the cover or losing heat.

Effortless Searing: Perfect for browning chicken thighs, caramelising onions, crisping gnocchi or searing prawns without crowding. The straight sides keep ingredients contained while still giving you the space to toss, sauté and deglaze for rich, layered flavour.
Sauces Made Simple: The taller profile allows liquids to reduce beautifully without splashing, making it ideal for pan sauces, creamy pastas, risottos, curries and quick braises. From sear through to simmer - it’s the pan that does it all.
Consistent Controlled Heat: Engineered with 5-ply construction for fast, even heating and responsive temperature control. The long handle offers balance and precision, all while staying cool to touch when used on the stovetop.

There’s nothing like 5-ply cookware. MAKO’s Genius 5-Ply is next-generation cookware - delivering precision, consistency, and power that you can feel from the first use. Each Saute Pan is crafted with a Genius Copper™ core for lightning-fast heat-up, even cooking, and full control. From gentle sautes to mid-heat cooking, you’ll get flawless results with ease.
