The profile shape of the vessel body and of handle portion is formed from a single sheet of metal to create a flat by cutting, stamping or blanking. An opening is created in the handle portion to reduce heat propagation. The shape of the pan body is formed by spinning with the flat handle portion. The handle is formed by creating three-dimensional contours in the handle portion of the blank. The neck portion has a flat section adjacent the pan body followed by sections of different curvature. One section of the neck portion has a deeply curved cross-section. That neck portion transitions to the hand grip portion which has a reduced curvature, particularly toward the unattached end of the handle. The neck portion may have a W cross sectional shape. The handle grip portion may have a U shaped cross-section for comfort.

Physical non-stick pan with convex-concave structure, and manufacturing method thereof
12303057 · 2025-05-20 · ·

A physical non-stick pan with a convex-concave structure, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The physical non-stick pan includes a pan body, where the convex-concave structure is formed on an inner surface of the pan body, the convex-concave structure comprises a convex edge protruding from the inner surface of the pan body and a recess enclosed by the convex edge, and a physical non-stick layer is at least arranged on an inner surface of the pan body in the recess. In the convex-concave structure, the convex edge protects a non-stick layer arranged in the recess, reduces a direct friction between a spatula and the non-stick layer, and prolongs a non-stick effect of the pan body.
