Flybee 28cm hybrid frying pan

One big pan for the first fry-up, happy with a metal fish slice and a spell in the oven.

A 28cm tri-ply frying pan, steel round an aluminium core, with an etched steel honeycomb over a coating, for every hob including induction and the oven up to 280°C.

The one catchThe coating is named only as a 'PPG coating' in the bullets, a maker's name rather than a type. Only the brand's comparison chart calls it ceramic

Sold on Amazon UK as: Flybee Hybrid Non-Stick Frying Pan, 28cm, Tri-Ply Stainless Steel

Is it worth it?

Yes, for a first kitchen that wants one frying pan large enough for breakfast for three or four. The Flybee hybrid pan is 28cm, three layers with an aluminium core, works on induction, takes metal utensils and goes in the oven to 280°C, by the listing. The catch is the coating the guide asked to see named: the bullets call it only a PPG coating, which is a maker's name rather than a type, and the word ceramic appears only in the brand's comparison chart lower down. It is also a newer listing with few ratings, and this size has no lid.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A first kitchen that wants one frying pan to do most things
  • An induction hob
  • Searing on the hob and finishing in the oven
Skip it if
  • Anyone who wants a clearly named, familiar non-stick coating
  • A small hob ring or a one-person kitchen, where 28cm is a lot of pan
  • Anyone who needs a lid in the box

The honest read

What wins you over
  • 28cm, inside the guide's 24 to 28cm, with room for a full breakfast
  • Tri-ply steel with an aluminium core, for every hob including induction
  • Oven safe to 280°C and dishwasher safe, by the listing
  • Metal utensils allowed on the etched surface; dispatched by Amazon
Where it gives
  • The coating is named only as a 'PPG coating' in the bullets, a maker's name rather than a type. Only the brand's comparison chart calls it ceramic
  • Few ratings so far, from a brand most UK buyers will not know; sold by Flybee UK and dispatched by Amazon
  • This 28cm option has no lid, though the bullets give a temperature for a glass one; a lidded version is a separate option on the page
  • The lifetime warranty is described loosely, as help if something is wrong with the pan itself; no terms are on the page

How we checked this · Researched, not handled · Oct 2026

Researched from the Amazon UK listing and the other sources listed here. We have not handled this product. The catch comes from the Amazon UK listing (15 October 2026).

  • Size (28cm), the tri-ply build with an aluminium core, the etched honeycomb surface, the hob list including induction, the oven limit (280°C, glass lid 220°C), dishwasher safety, the box contents (pan, sponge, guide) and the warranty wording taken from the Amazon UK listing for the 28cm option, checked 15 October 2026.
  • The catch is on the listing itself: the bullets name a PPG coating; the brand's comparison chart on the same page names a PPG ceramic coating. The 28cm option shown comes without a lid.
  • Sold by Flybee UK and dispatched by Amazon, in stock with a standard Add to Basket button at the time of checking.

Flybee 28cm hybrid frying pan: questions answered

A 28cm stainless steel frying pan with an etched honeycomb pattern across the cooking surface and a long steel handle
What coating does the Flybee frying pan have?
The bullets call it a PPG coating, under an etched steel honeycomb. The brand's comparison chart on the same listing calls it a PPG ceramic coating, so treat the Flybee pan as a ceramic-type hybrid.
Does the Flybee 28cm frying pan work on induction?
Yes. The listing says the Flybee pan suits gas, electric, ceramic, halogen and induction hobs.
Can the Flybee frying pan go in the oven?
Yes, up to 280°C according to the listing. A glass lid, which this 28cm option does not include, is rated to 220°C.
Does the Flybee 28cm pan come with a lid?
Not this option. The box holds the Flybee pan, a sponge and a guide; a 28cm pan with a lid is a separate choice on the same listing.
