Cook steaks, chicken, burgers, vegetables and other grilled dishes with the Tower SmartStart Gourmet 26cm Aluminium Grill Pan. Designed for convenient everyday cooking, this black grill pan combines lightweight 3mm aluminium construction with Tower’s SmartStart temperature-indicator technology and Aeroglide three-layer non-stick coating.

The SmartStart indicator takes the guesswork out of preheating. As the pan heats, the integrated temperature sensor activates at approximately 150°C and the indicator changes to dark red when the pan reaches its optimum cooking temperature of 200°C. This provides a simple visual reference for when to begin cooking.

The 26cm grill pan features straight side walls that provide approximately 15% more cooking surface area, making it practical for family meals and entertaining. The aluminium body offers good heat conductivity while keeping the pan relatively lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

For versatile cooking, the bonded steel induction-ready base allows the pan to be used on compatible gas, electric and induction hobs. It can also be transferred to the oven at temperatures up to 170°C for a maximum of 40 minutes, allowing ingredients to be finished in the oven when required.

Inside, Tower’s Aeroglide non-stick coating uses a base layer and durable abrasion layers. Tower states that its three-layer construction is three times stronger than standard non-stick coatings, while providing easy food release and simplified cleaning. The coating is dishwasher friendly, although hand washing is recommended for maintaining the finish over time.

The pan has an ergonomic Bakelite handle for comfortable handling and manoeuvrability. It is also manufactured without PFOA, lead and cadmium according to Tower’s product specifications.

With its combination of 26cm size, aluminium construction, non-stick cooking surface, SmartStart temperature indicator, induction compatibility and oven-safe design, the Tower SmartStart Gourmet grill pan is suited to everyday stovetop grilling and a wide range of home-cooked meals.
