Fry Pans

Commercial Fry Pans in Toronto & Canada

A fry pan is the everyday pan on a restaurant line, used for searing, browning, and frying to order, and you'll want a few in different sizes whenever you're opening a kitchen, adding a breakfast or sauté station, or replacing pans that have warped or lost their non-stick. Winco's AFP Series Natural Finish Aluminum Frying Pans are 3.5mm aluminum workhorses in 8", 10", and 12" sizes, and the AFPI Series Induction Non-Stick Aluminum Fry Pan adds a stainless steel bonded base for induction cooktops. Browne offers the ELEMENTS Stainless Steel Fry Pan with a 4mm tri-ply base in sizes up to 14", plus the ECLIPSE Non-Stick Aluminum Fry Pan for eggs and delicate fish. For bigger batches, the Winco AXST Series Super Aluminum Sauté Pan and the Browne ELEMENTS Stainless Steel Sauté Pan With Cover have deeper sides. We stock and ship commercial fry pans out of Vaughan to kitchens across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and Hamilton, and to the rest of Canada beyond the GTA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What size fry pan do I need for a restaurant?

Match the pan to the portion. An 8" fry pan suits single-serve omelets, fried eggs, and quick sautés, a 10" pan handles most à la carte orders, and a 12" pan or larger gives you room to sear several portions or cook through a rush. The Winco AFP Series comes in 8", 10", and 12", while the Browne ELEMENTS Stainless Steel Fry Pan and the Browne REGULAR Natural Finish Aluminum Fry Pan both go up to 14". A good starting set for a small line is one pan each in 8", 10", and 12", with a 14" for batch searing.

Are non-stick fry pans good for restaurant use?

Yes, for the right jobs. A non-stick fry pan releases eggs, pancakes, crepes, and delicate fish cleanly, which cuts down on oil and cleanup at a breakfast or fish station. The Winco AFP Series Non-Stick Aluminum Frying Pans have an Excalibur non-stick finish bonded to the aluminum for a scratch-resistant surface, and the Browne ELEMENTS Stainless Steel Non-Stick Excalibur Fry Pan has a Teflon Select coating for durability and release. The Winco AFPI Series Induction Non-Stick pan is PFOA-free and hand wash only, so plan on washing non-stick pans by hand, and keep an uncoated pan for high-heat searing.

Do fry pan handles get hot?

Metal handles heat up fast over a gas flame, so the handle matters as much as the pan. The Winco AFPI Series Induction Natural Finish Aluminum Fry Pan has an ergonomic handle heat resistant to 500°F, the Browne REGULAR and ECLIPSE fry pans have removable silicone comfort handles heat resistant to 572°F, and the Browne ELEMENTS Non-Stick Excalibur Fry Pan has a hollow, cool-touch handle that reduces heat build-up. For Winco aluminum pans, the Winco Removeable Sleeve For Aluminum Series Pans is heat resistant up to 450°F and comes in small, medium, and large sizes matched to specific pan models, so check the compatibility list on the product page before you order.
