Sears Like Stainless. Slides Like Nonstick. A Pan That Finally Gives You Both. No More Choosing. Half The Price Of Celebrity-Clad.
If you have ever been torn between the searing capability of cast iron and the effortless cleanup of a nonstick skillet, a new Kickstarter campaign is aiming to end that compromise. Liiton has introduced ProClad, a hybrid nonstick pan that combines professional performance with everyday convenience. By integrating a unique raised stainless steel matrix with a durable nonstick coating, this pan allows you to get a perfect golden sear on a steak while still letting delicate eggs slide right off the surface.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator. ProClad: A Hybrid Nonstick Pan by Liiton.
What It Is. ProClad is a premium, multi-layered hybrid frying pan. It features a raised stainless steel honeycomb pattern that protects a recessed nonstick coating, allowing home cooks to use metal utensils and high heat without damaging the pan.
KEY FEATURES
Hybrid Matrix Surface. The cooking surface features a raised laser etched stainless steel grid. This peaks-and-valleys design allows for high heat searing on the steel peaks while the recessed nonstick valleys ensure effortless food release.
5-Ply Clad Construction. Built with professional grade clad technology, the pan utilizes five distinct layers of metal, including an aluminum core wrapped in durable stainless steel. This ensures rapid heat induction and perfectly even thermal distribution across the entire cooking surface.
Metal Utensil Safe. Because the raised stainless steel grid shields the nonstick coating underneath, you can comfortably use metal spatulas, whisks, and spoons without worrying about scratching or peeling the surface.
High Thermal Tolerance. Unlike traditional nonstick pans that deteriorate under high temperatures, ProClad is oven and broiler safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to easily transfer dishes from the stovetop to the oven.
Ergonomic Stay-Cool Handle. The handle is securely riveted to the body and engineered with a hollow core to dissipate heat, keeping it comfortable to grip even during long cooking sessions.
Universal Cooktop Compatibility. The magnetic stainless steel exterior makes the pan fully compatible with all cooking surfaces, including traditional gas burners, electric coils, and modern induction cooktops.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing. Early backers can secure the ProClad pan at exclusive campaign discounts, saving a significant percentage off the planned future retail price.
Options. The campaign offers multiple size configurations, ranging from compact everyday skillets to larger family-sized pans, with options to add matching tempered glass lids or multi-pan bundles.
Delivery. Following the conclusion of the campaign, Liiton plans to move straight into manufacturing, with global shipping to backers scheduled to begin once production quality checks are finalized.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Uncompromised Culinary Versatility. Liiton recognized that home cooks often feel restricted by their cookware, constantly switching between delicate nonstick surfaces and heavy cast iron. By engineering a hybrid surface that merges the durability of steel with the slickness of nonstick, they aim to create a single, heavy-duty pan that can handle everything from high-heat searing to delicate baking.
INSPIRATION
Liiton has established a strong reputation for combining premium materials with functional everyday design. Observing the frequent frustration of home chefs who accidentally ruin expensive nonstick pans with high heat or metal tools, the engineering team set out to build a more resilient alternative. Inspired by the durability of industrial culinary equipment, they developed the ProClad matrix to bridge the gap between professional-grade searing performance and simple, hassle-free cleanup.
