AUS-ION™ Workhorse Duo

Includes our best-selling 26cm & 30cm Frypans – the ultimate team for everyday cooking.

Meet the Workhorse Duo: our two most-loved sizes bundled together for serious everyday performance in the kitchen. Whether you're cooking solo or feeding a crowd, this pair handles it all – from quick breakfasts to hearty one-pan dinners.

The 26cm Frypan is your daily go-to – the perfect size for eggs, steak, fish, sides, and smaller mains. The 30cm Frypan steps up when you need more space – ideal for family portions, big sears, or anything that deserves room to shine.

Both pans are made from one seamless piece of 100% Australian iron – no synthetic coatings, no rivets, no welds. Just pure, healthy, tough-as-nails cookware that naturally builds a non-stick surface with seasoning.

  • PFAS, PTFE and toxin-free – always
  • Naturally non-stick with use and seasoning
  • For all cooktops, ovens, and even open fire
  • 100% Australian-made from clean Aussie iron
  • Multi-generational durability – built to last

No chemicals. No coatings. Just iron – and a lifetime of better cooking.

 

This set includes:

1 x 26cm AUS-ION™ frypan 

1 x 30cm AUS-ION™ frypan 

 

Please Note A Patchy Pan is Normal!

Your AUS-ION pan comes naturally seasoned with pure rice bran oil—no synthetic coatings here! Surface variations are completely normal, even when your pan first arrives! Don’t worry—this won’t affect performance. With every cook, your pan’s seasoning will evolve, creating a surface that’s uniquely yours! See our care instructions

 

Please note, all of our pans have a carefully engineered concave built in. This is normal with all heavy based iron and steel pans, to allow for movement when heated. To learn more about our concave and why it’s important, click here.

Too Heavy

By: on 24 March 2025
I was very excited to find these pans on line as I had been looking to avoid toxic non-stick, with a lighter than cast iron work horse. These pans are beautiful and function as promised. I am disappointed that their weight distribution isn’t great. The long handles are no match for the bulk of the pan, making the pans incredibly difficult to maneuver and lift single handedly when transferring food from pan to plate or pan from stove to storage. Had I had the chance to physically interact with the pans before purchasing, I would have decided they are simply too heavy for everyday use. In comparison, my cast iron pans, which are original Griswald and Wagner, these may be lighter in overall weight, but are harder to use. I would like to give a 3 star rating but the site has weirdly pre-selected the 5 star rating, and I am unable to change this.

SOLIDTEKNICS Response
Hi Lisa, it's quite likely you're holding the handle slightly incorrectly (they're ergonomically designed) and subsequently using your wrist as opposed to your forearm strength. Here's a great FAQ on how to hold your pan https://www.solidteknics.com/generalfaqs#How%20should%20I%20hold%20my%20pan? You'll find it makes all the difference. Thank you for your support, team Solidteknics.

Amazing investment!

My order is still on transit to the US so very much anticipating here. I’m a big fan and have ordered a few pieces already from the US website and they are a true workhorse in my kitchen. I assume same quality or even better with this purchase!

Best investment i’ve made

By: on 8 February 2025
Bought these two about 2 months ago. Can’t praise them highly enough! I’ve cooked everything in there and can’t fault them. Non stick, easy to clean, handle doesn’t get hot, centuries warranty and Australian made. What more do you want

Amazingly good

By: on 8 February 2025
I am absolutely amazed at the difference in cooking with these fry pans. They have totally exceeded my expectation and have pride of place in my kitchen. I can see I will add to the 2 I have sometime in the future. Great even heat, nice and flat, easy to clean and most importantly easy to cook with. The order process was seamless and when I had a question customer support was quick to reply.

My first Solidteknics pan! it was a bit tricky at the beginning but once you get a good seasoning, you won't need any other pans. Love how easy it cleans too!

My first Solidteknics pan! It was a bit tricky to build a good non stick coating by seasoning them at the beginning but once you get a good seasoning, it's the best pan you ever own! Super easy cleaning after use.
