Product Performance

How much gas does the Effium Pan save me?

With each meal, your Effium Pan can save you up to 49% in gas usage! This has been independently tested by TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), so you can trust in its efficiency. It's truly the world's first in cookware design! How cool is that?

How does the Effium Pan allow me to cook 35% faster?

The Effium Pan captures twice as much heat, enabling quicker pre-heating and reaching higher temperatures faster than traditional pans. This speeds up the cooking process, helping you prepare insanely delicious meals up to 36% faster - this has been independently tested by TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research).

How can the heat distribution of the Effium Pan be so good?

Unlike traditional pans that rely solely on materials like aluminum for heat distribution, the Effium Pan's patent-pending fins capture and spread heat with exceptional uniformity to the cooking surface. This means you can cook much larger portions more effectively, whether you're browning, searing, sautéing, or frying, as the entire pan surface heats evenly. Enjoy perfectly cooked meals every time!

Would my Effium Pan get too hot causing food to burn?

Not at all! You can easily lower the heat to cook gently or turn it up for a quick sear when needed. The Effium Pan gives you full control for perfectly cooked meals every time.

How does the Effium Pan differ from cast-iron or stainless steel, in terms of sustaining heat?

The Effium Pan heats up faster than cast-iron or stainless steel, but it also sustains heat more evenly across the surface. While cast-iron holds heat longer, the Effium Pan's design allows it to maintain steady, uniform heat, making it ideal for consistent cooking. You get the benefit of quick heat-up times along with excellent heat retention for prolonged cooking.

Product Usability

Does the Effium Pan work on induction or electric stoves?

No, the Effium Pan has been specifically engineered to capture heat maximally from an open flame. Although current pans are touted to work on all heat sources, they aren't optimized for any of them. We believe that you need focus to be extremely good at something. With this mantra we developed the Effium Pan: an extremely high performing frying pan specifically built for your gas stove. It also works perfectly on other open flame sources, like BBQs, grills, wood fires, and petroleum-based cooking setups.

Can I put the Effium Pan in the oven?

Yes, the Effium Pan is oven-safe up to 250°C.

Can I use metal utensils in the Effium Pan?

We do not recommend it, as scratching may reduce the product lifespan.

Does the handle get hot during cooking?

The handle stays exceptionally cool due to our dedicated heat-deflector design. After prolonged usage on high fire or placement in the oven, we recommend not to grab the handle with your bare hands, but to use a heat protective towel, glove or cloth instead.

Can I put my Effium Pan in the dishwasher?

Yes. However, we recommend handwashing because it increases the lifespan of your product.

Do the fins on the bottom get dirty?

Like any pan, your Effium Pan can become dirty. However, as your Effium Pan is coated all-round, it is easy to clean. An occasional brush on the bottom will suffice!

How do I store my Effium Pans?

Effium Pans are designed to stack neatly on top of each other. When you order multiple Effium Pans, we include protective pan pads to prevent scratches and ensure they stay in top condition during storage.

Product Durability

How do I maximize the lifespan of my Effium Pan?

Use soft wooden/plastic utensils instead of sharp/metal utensils.

Handwash gently with soap and soft sponge. instead of the dishwasher.

Always put oil or butter in the pan to signal overheating (smoking) and use an appropiate heat setting. Never put your pan empty on the stove.

The handle of my normal pan either comes off or gets loose. Does that also happen with the Effium Pan?

We designed an incredibly robust and adjustable handle attachment. Every Effium Pan comes with a compatible spanner, so if your handle ever starts to loosen, you can easily retighten it yourself.
