Tefal Jamie Oliver Cook's Direct 28cm Frying Pan
Steel-bodied pan with a preheating indicator
Editorial review Reviewed 23 October 2026 How we assess products
Tefal Jamie Oliver Cook’s Direct E3040644 is a 28cm stainless steel frying pan with titanium-reinforced non-stick. The Thermo-Signal indicator gives a visual preheating cue; keep watching the pan rather than leaving it empty on high heat. Its steel-and-aluminium base and firm riveted handle suit everyday frying. All hobs, including induction, are supported, and oven and dishwasher use are permitted within the supplied instructions. Gentle hand washing protects the coating; clean around the rivets. This is heavier than basic aluminium cookware and includes no lid or steamer. Choose it for a roomy conventional frying pan at a moderate cost. Salter Marblestone is the lighter budget alternative, while Our Place Always Pan 2.0 adds depth and accessories. Titanium reinforcement does not mean an uncoated titanium surface.
