AUS-ION™ Lightning 28cm Frypan

The AUS-ION™ Lightning 28cm Frypan is built for bigger appetites and shared meals — roomy enough for stir-fries, family-sized frittatas, or searing multiple steaks at once. It delivers all the space you need for serious cooking, without the heft of heavier pans.

Like all our AUS-ION™ pans, it’s 100% Australian made from clean iron and naturally seasoned for non-stick performance without synthetic coatings or toxic chemicals. But what makes Lightning different is the pared-back design: slightly thinner iron for lighter handling, simplified details, and a focus on maximum value — all without compromising on durability or performance.

 

What Makes Lightning Different?

  • 2.5mm Australian iron — slightly thinner than our flagship AUS-ION™ (3mm) for faster heat-up and easier handling.

  • Streamlined design — simplified handle vents, no base stamp, and CNC rounding only where it’s needed.

  • Uncompromised durability — still wrought from a single solid sheet, still built to last centuries.

 

Why You’ll Love It

  • Generous size for families, entertaining, or one-pan meals.

  • Naturally non-stick with seasoning — no PFAS, no PTFE, no nasties.

  • Safe for all heat sources: induction, oven, BBQ, or campfire.

  • Lighter weight, but the same heirloom quality you expect from Solidteknics.

 

Care & Cleaning

After each use, rinse with warm water, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil. No soap needed. Store in a dry place. For more tips, see our care instructions.

 

Please Note — A Patchy Pan is Normal!

Your AUS-ION™ pan comes naturally seasoned with pure rice bran oil—no synthetic coatings here! Surface variations are completely normal, even when your pan first arrives. Don’t worry—this won’t affect performance. With every cook, your pan’s seasoning will evolve, creating a surface that’s uniquely yours.
