Big iron, easy start. A 30cm Polished AUS-ION frypan, naturally smoother from first use with no seasoning required, Australian-made.
Australia
The AUS-ION™ Polished 30cm Frypan is the favourite family frypan of the Polished range — an Australian-made iron pan crafted from a single solid sheet of Australian wrought iron and precision-polished for smooth cooking from the very first use. With a 3-litre capacity it is a powerhouse for larger batch cooking, family meals and entertaining, with no coatings, no rivets and no seasoning break-in required.
Classic AUS-ION™ pans use a fine surface texture to anchor seasoning layers over time. The Polished cooking surface is engineered instead with fewer microscopic peaks and valleys for food to grab onto, so oil spreads more evenly and food releases more easily from day one. It is not a coating — just science and a lot of careful polishing. No seasoning required, easier to clean, and more rust-resistant than traditional seasoned iron, with the exterior factory-seasoned for rust protection. Prefer a traditional patina? One can still be developed naturally over time.
The pan remains seamless, one-piece wrought iron — no rivets, welds or coatings — naturally non-toxic with no synthetic coatings and no leaching. Wrought construction keeps it lighter and more responsive than cast iron at this family size, the long ergonomic vented handle stays cooler for longer, and the engineered concave base allows for expansion as the metal heats.
Cook on induction, gas, electric or ceramic cooktops, in the oven, on the BBQ, or over open flame — pizza ovens and campfires included. With no seasoning layer to strip, the Polished surface handles acidic cooking without harm; a small amount of iron transfer is possible and may occasionally lend a subtle metallic note to very acidic dishes.
Hand wash only: warm water (no soap needed), dry thoroughly, scrub the cooking surface in a circular motion following the grain of the polish, then wipe with a very thin layer of oil. The bright finish will dull with use — that is normal and expected — and can be returned to its original shine with a scourer or steel wool following the circular grain.
100% Australian made from clean Australian iron and manufactured in Sydney, the Polished 30cm Frypan is backed by a multi-century warranty — built to last for generations. It delivers heirloom iron searing for family-scale cooking with modern low-fuss maintenance, alongside the wider AUS-ION™ Polished and nöni™ Australian-made ranges.
Choosing between the polished frypans: the 26cm suits everyday cooking for one or two with 1.75 litres of capacity, while this 30cm steps up to 3 litres for family meals and entertaining.
