Eggs slide, salmon skin crisps and pancakes flip clean, then it all goes in the dishwasher. Polished steel that looks good enough to leave out.
How it compares
Hive Hybrid™ vs the usual pans
| Feature | Hive Hybrid™ | Traditional non-stick | Plain stainless steel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food release | Eggs and fish slide off with a little oil | Good at first, fades as the coating wears | Sticks unless you use plenty of oil |
| Coating | PTFE, PFOA and PFAS-free hybrid surface | Usually a PTFE-based coating | No coating, but no non-stick either |
| Built to last | Resists warping, peeling and rust; metal utensil safe | Coating scratches and peels over time | Lasts, but harder work to cook on |
| Cleanup | Dishwasher safe and wipes clean | Hand wash to protect the coating | Scrubbing to lift stuck-on food |
| Feature | Hive | Non-stick | Stainless |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food release | Yes | Partly | No |
| Coating | Yes | No | Partly |
| Built to last | Yes | No | Partly |
| Cleanup | Yes | Partly | No |

FAQ
Good to know
Which size should I start with?
The 26cm is the all-rounder most people reach for every day. Cooking for one or two, or mostly eggs? Go 20cm or 24cm. Feeding a family? The 28cm. Want every size? The 4-piece set, or the 8-piece set with lids, works out cheaper than buying the pans one by one.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
Yes. Every Hive Hybrid™ pan is dishwasher safe, and metal utensils won’t damage the surface.
Does it work on induction?
Yes. It works on gas, induction and electric hobs, and it’s oven safe too.
What if it’s not right for me?
You have 180 days to return it, as long as it's complete, undamaged and in its original packaging.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every Hive Hybrid™ pan is covered by our lifetime warranty.
