The Origin Of The Honeycomb Pan

THE ORIGIN OF THE HONEYCOMB PAN

To address the issue of traditional woks being prone to food sticking, cookware manufacturers have added non-stick coatings to stainless steel pans to achieve a non-stick effect. Pans with such coatings are called non-stick pans. There are two main types of non-stick materials on the market. One is ceramic non-stick coating, which has gained popularity in recent years. It is created by applying a water-based nano-ceramic non-stick layer to a metal substrate using the sol-gel process with silica sol and silane monomers. Although the ceramic non-stick layer is composed of inorganic materials, its non-stick performance is not ideal. The other type is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has strong chemical stability and is widely used. With advancements in coating materials, PFOA-free PTFE has become the preferred choice for non-stick coatings in cookware.

Although non-stick pans prevent food from sticking, the use of kitchen utensils such as metal spatulas and steel wool can accelerate the deterioration of the non-stick layer. This not only significantly reduces the non-stick effect but also poses potential health risks if the peeling coating is accidentally ingested.

Honeycomb Pan Innovation

Kobach Dual-Honeycomb 6th Generation Honeycomb Pan

In 2022, Kobach launched the 6th Generation Dual-Honeycomb Pan, a groundbreaking upgrade from its first-generation product. The enhanced "Double Honeycomb" structure delivers twice the non-stick performance. The pan is made of antibacterial stainless steel, ensuring better health protection for consumers.

Additionally, features such as the red-dot temperature indicator, anti-overflow safety valve, and lightweight design further reflect Kobach’s commitment to healthy cooking and an enjoyable kitchen experience.

Kobach Dual-Sided Honeycomb Stainless Steel Pan

In 2019, Kobach launched the Dual-Sided Honeycomb Stainless Steel Pan, maintaining its use of 316L stainless steel for enhanced safety and reliability. The pan features an etching process, creating precise concave-convex textures on the inner surface. The raised portions form a honeycomb mesh structure, while the non-stick coating is applied only to the recessed areas, making it more durable and resistant to peeling.

The 3rd Generation Kobach 316L Stainless Steel Honeycomb Pan

In 2019, Kobach further advanced its honeycomb pan technology with the 3rd Generation Honeycomb Pan, maintaining its commitment to exceptional quality while upgrading to 316L stainless steel, a material known for its superior safety and health benefits compared to 304 stainless steel. 316L stainless steel is commonly used in marine equipment and medical devices, making it one of the highest-quality stainless steels available.

From a chemical perspective, 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum, which significantly enhances corrosion resistance and high-temperature durability compared to 304 stainless steel. Additionally, a higher nickel content makes the material more stable, ensuring greater durability when used in cookware. As a result, the new-generation honeycomb pan delivers better heat conductivity and reduced oil smoke during cooking.

Notably, the enlarged honeycomb texture further improves the non-stick performance. Other design enhancements include:

1、 Lid with a built-in spatula holder, ensuring convenience during cooking.

2、 Smart silicone temperature-sensing ring on the lid handle, which turns bright red when the pan reaches 60°C, providing a visual temperature alert.

3、 Heat-resistant, anti-slip handle cover, preventing accidental burns and ensuring a secure grip for a safer and more enjoyable cooking experience.

The 2nd Generation Kobach 304 Stainless Steel Honeycomb Pan

In 2018, Kobach launched the 2nd Generation 304 Stainless Steel Honeycomb Pan. This upgraded version retained the material and etching technology of the first generation while significantly improving the etching coverage area. The honeycomb pattern was expanded from partial coverage to full coverage, with an increased texture density, enhancing the non-stick performance of the pan.

The three-layer composite construction was seamlessly integrated, ensuring faster heat conduction. Additionally, this pan is compatible with all stovetops, making it highly versatile.

Compared to the previous generation, this model also features a tea-colored glass lid, adding a touch of elegance to its design.

The 1st Generation Kobach 304 Stainless Steel Honeycomb Pan

The 1st Generation 304 Stainless Steel Honeycomb Pan, launched in 2013, was made of 304 stainless steel composite material and featured etching technology. The three-layer composite construction was seamlessly integrated, allowing for efficient heat transfer to the entire pan.

To enhance the user experience, several humanized design features were added:

A convenient standable lid, saving kitchen space.

A streamlined, heat-resistant handle for a secure grip and more comfortable cooking experience.

Compatibility with various stovetops, making it versatile and practical.

Brand assurance, credit commitment—each pan has a unique code, ensuring quality and authenticity.
