WHAT IS A HONEYCOMB PAN?

A honeycomb pan is a new type of cookware featuring an uncoated honeycomb mesh structure inside, which effectively addresses the issue of coating peeling off. It is called a honeycomb pan because the etched texture resembles a honeycomb pattern.

Traditional non-stick pan

The non-stick layer is mainly polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
1. Traditional cookware is mainly made of aluminum, which has uneven heat distribution. As the pan is used more frequently, the non-stick effect of the surface coating gradually decreases. This makes it more likely for food to stick, especially when cooking acidic ingredients.

2. The chemical coating on the surface can gradually get scratched or damaged due to high temperatures or prolonged use. This is not only unhealthy but also causes the pan to lose its non-stick properties.
Kobach Honeycomb Pan

Cookware crafted with etching technology
1. The cookware is mainly made of 316L material, with a three-layer composite structure that enhances heat conduction and reduces oil smoke.

2. The Kobach honeycomb pan utilizes etching technology to create fine concave-convex textures on the inner surface of the pan. This effectively reduces the issue of coating peeling caused by contact with spatulas, thereby increasing its lifespan.

Production Process Flow

High-quality 304 or 316L composite stainless steel is selected as the base material and integrally formed through composite molding.
Through etching technology, a concave-convex honeycomb texture is formed on the composite stainless steel disc.
The composite stainless steel disc is stretch-formed to create the pan body, with the pre-designed concave-convex honeycomb texture area positioned in the center of the formed pan body.
A non-stick layer is applied to the textured indentations, and the concave-convex structure of the honeycomb texture significantly reduces the area covered by the non-stick layer inside the cookware.
The convex surface of the honeycomb texture inside the pan is mechanically polished to remove the non-stick layer, allowing the entire honeycomb pattern to be beautifully displayed.

Etching Technology

Etching technology utilizes an etching process to create fine concave-convex textures on the inner pan surface. The raised areas form a coating-free honeycomb mesh structure, while the non-stick layer only covers the recessed parts of the texture. This significantly reduces the non-stick coating's coverage on the inner surface and effectively prevents peeling caused by contact with spatulas.

Thanks to the concave-convex structure of the honeycomb texture, the spatula has minimal contact with the non-stick layer, making it resistant to metal spatulas and greatly reducing the likelihood of the non-stick coating peeling off.

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...
