WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

This is the pan that earns its place on the stove every single day. Sear, braise, boil, fry, roast, slow cook. Your new go-to, from the very first cook.

5-ply Genius Copper: The gold standard of cookware.

The technology.

Five bonded layers of stainless, aluminium and copper for heat that's fast, even and consistent across the entire pan. No hot spots. No heat drop. Just controlled cooking, every time.

The result.

Most stainless steel pans are single ply. Uneven heat, hot spots, food that sticks. The Essential Pan eliminates all of that. Unmatched versatility, effortless cooking. The easiest stainless steel you'll ever cook in.

Built Different. Performs Different.

  • Easier to use than you think: Cooks evenly, releases cleanly. You'll wonder why you were ever scared of stainless steel.
  • No coatings, no compromises: Stainless steel inner and outer. Free from PFOA, PFAS, Lead and Cadmium.
  • Cooktop to 260°C oven safe: Start on the cooktop, finish in the oven, serve straight from the pan.
  • Lighter than cast iron: All the performance of a dutch oven, without the weight.
  • Built to last: Dishwasher safe. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

What You Can Actually Cook

Not just one thing. Everything.

  • Rich beef stew with a deep caramelised crust
  • Slow-cooked ossobuco straight from cooktop to oven
  • Crispy-skinned chicken thighs, golden all over
  • Pasta sauces that reduce perfectly without scorching
  • Curries, stews and soups for the whole family
  • Shakshuka, risotto, stir fries. Weeknight to dinner party.

This is your everyday pan, performing at a whole different level.

    Couldn’t be happier

    I have to say the Mako Genius Essential Pan with lid has changed my cooking time considerably . I have had my full flex Vzug induction cook top for a few years and this pan has been a game changer. Although my older pans were compatible they didn’t perform like this pan has. Faster cooking time, perfect size for cooking sauces and stews for upto 10 big eaters, great lid style and looks fabulous on my stove top. I’ve purchased a number of items from Cook Dine Host and they have all lived upto and/or exceeded my expectations.

    What a pan!

    This has become one of my favourite pieces to cook with. I have traded in my Dutch oven for one of these pans, it is now one of my most used pieces. This pan is the perfect size and depth to cook a pasta dish or curry, and anything low and slow on the stove. Such a great quality product.
