Why Hive Hybrid™ Nonstick?
Not all nonstick is created equal. Traditional nonstick uses PTFE/PFOA/PFAS chemicals that degrade over time. That's why we chose Hive Hybrid™ Nonstick Technology—a naturally nonstick surface that lasts forever.
Nonstick That Lasts Forever
Traditional nonstick pans last 1-2 years before the coating breaks down. Hive Hybrid™ uses PTFE, PFOA & PFAS-free, a Hive Hybrid Ceramic non-stick surface that never degrades.
- Zero PTFE/PFOA/PFAS chemicals— Hive Hybrid Ceramic non-stick
- Metal utensil safe—scratch resistant and durable
- 500°C oven safe—double what Teflon can handle
- Performance that lasts—10 x a normal non-stick pan
You'll replace traditional nonstick 10+ times over the life of one Hive Hybrid™ pan
3 Reasons You Might NOT Want This Pan
Radical transparency—this pan isn't for everyone.
You Think Heavier = Better
At less than 1.4kg for the 26cm pan, Hive Hybrid™ is lightweight compared to cast iron (3.0kg) for a similar pan. If you believe heavy = quality, you'll be disappointed. We chose light for easy handling.
You're Looking for the Cheapest Option
Advanced Hive Hybrid Ceramic non-stick and stainless steel costs more than cheap Teflon pans. But you'll replace cheap nonstick 10+ times over the life of one Hive Hybrid™ pan. We're actually cheaper long-term.
You Already Love Cast Iron & carbon stell
This pan is similar to cast iron & carbon steel. If you already have cast iron/carbon steel you love, you might not find value here. However, many cast iron lovers switch because it's so much lighter.
