What makes the MAKO Genius 5-Ply 26cm Saute Pan different from other saute pans?

The MAKO Genius 5-Ply Saute Pan features a unique 5-ply construction that ensures even heat distribution and excellent heat retention, reducing hot spots while cooking. Its durable design includes a snug-fitting lid, perfect for simmering and sealing in flavors.

Is this saute pan suitable for all stovetops, including induction?

Yes! The MAKO Genius 5-Ply 26cm Saute Pan is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic. Its multi-layer construction incorporates magnetic stainless steel, making it versatile for any kitchen setup.

How should I clean and maintain my MAKO Genius saute pan to keep it in great condition?

For best results, hand wash your pan with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid harsh abrasives or steel wool to preserve the surface. While it’s dishwasher-safe, hand washing will prolong the life of the pan and maintain its finish and performance.

Can I use metal utensils with this pan, or will it damage the surface?

The MAKO Genius 5-Ply Saute Pan is designed with a durable stainless steel interior that can withstand metal utensils without scratching or damaging the surface. This gives you the flexibility to use whatever utensils you prefer during cooking.

Is the 26cm size adequate for family meals, or should I consider a larger pan?

A 26cm pan is perfect for most everyday cooking needs and family recipes that serve about 3 to 5 people. It provides ample cooking surface for sautéing vegetables, searing meats, or simmering sauces. If you regularly cook for larger groups, you might want to look at larger options, but 26cm is versatile and space-saving.

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.
