Sea to Summit Detour Stainless Steel Frying Pan 10in

The Sea to Summit Detour Stainless Steel Pan is a 10-inch camp frying pan built from 304 stainless steel with a three-ply base (a layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel) for even heat distribution across induction, radiant electric, and gas stoves. At a packed weight of 916.7 g (32.3 oz) and a packed size of 27.1 × 26.1 × 5.1 cm (11 × 10 × 2 in), it is sized to nest inside the 5L Detour Collapsible Pot for compact storage.

Even Heat Without the Hot Spots

The three-ply base bonds an aluminum core between two stainless steel layers: the aluminum conducts heat across the full cooking surface rather than concentrating it at the center, while the stainless steel provides durability on both faces. For camp cooking, where stove output varies and fuel efficiency matters, that consistency means food cooks through without scorching at the contact point. The 304 stainless steel surface is also straightforward to clean: no coating to protect, no seasoning to maintain.

A Handle That Locks and Stows

The Click-Safe handle engages with an audible click and locks securely in place during use, so the pan can be lifted and carried confidently regardless of what is in it. Reversing the handle reduces the overall footprint for packing. The handle is made of stainless steel and is not intended for use on open fires.

Designed to Work With Sea to Summit Cookware

The large-radius curve between the base and sidewalls is shaped to match Sea to Summit utensils, which makes stirring and sautéing easier and simplifies cleanup by eliminating tight corners where food collects. The pan's outer dimensions also allow the 5L Detour Collapsible Pot to fit inside it, keeping the two pieces together as a single storage unit.

Multi-Stove Compatible and PFAS-Free

The Detour Pan works on induction, radiant electric, and gas stoves. The cooking surface and all materials are PFAS-free and BPA-free, meeting food-grade standards in the US, EU, Japan, and South Korea. The pan carries a lifetime guarantee.

Recognition

The Detour Pan received the 2024 ISPO Award, the 2024 iF Product Design Award, the 2024 Red Dot Product Design Award Best of the Best, and the 2023 Australian Good Design Award.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Detour Stainless Steel Pan suits camp cooks who want a durable, easy-to-clean frying pan that works across induction, electric, and gas stoves and packs efficiently with other Sea to Summit Detour cookware.

The pan is not dishwasher safe; the handle attachment point is hard anodized and requires hand-washing. The cooking surface has no non-stick coating: cooking with polished stainless steel requires more oil and lower heat than a coated pan. The Click-Safe handle is not intended for use on open fires.

Common Questions

Will the Detour Pan work on an induction stove?

Yes. The Detour Stainless Steel Pan is induction compatible, and also works on radiant electric and gas stoves.

Does the Detour Pan have a non-stick coating?

No. The cooking surface is polished 304 stainless steel with no non-stick finish. Cooking with the Detour Pan works best with more oil than a coated pan and slightly lower heat to prevent sticking.

Is the Detour Pan dishwasher safe?

No. The handle attachment point on the Detour Stainless Steel Pan is hard anodized and is not dishwasher safe. Hand-washing is required.

What is the three-ply base?

The three-ply base of the Detour Pan is a sandwich construction: a layer of aluminum for heat distribution is bonded between two layers of stainless steel for durability, spreading heat evenly across the cooking surface.

How does the Click-Safe handle work?

The Click-Safe handle on the Detour Stainless Steel Pan engages with an audible click and locks securely in the use position. The handle can be reversed to reduce the pan's overall length for stowing. It is not intended for use on open fires.

Does the Detour Pan nest with other Sea to Summit cookware?

The Detour Stainless Steel Pan 10in is sized so the Sea to Summit 5L Detour Collapsible Pot fits inside it, allowing the two pieces to be stored together as a compact unit.
