The material
Nothing applied on top.
The cooking surface is 100% 304 (18/8) food-grade stainless steel — the same surface all the way through, made without intentionally added PFAS. There is no coating to scratch, flake or wear out, because there is no coating.

Performance
Built to sear.
Uncoated steel takes the stovetop heat that real searing demands, and builds the browned fond underneath that turns a pan into a sauce. Coated pans cannot be run that hot without damaging the coating, which is why they brown less.

What fits in a 9.5-inch skillet?
A 9.5-inch (24 cm) skillet is the two-portion pan. It cooks a complete weeknight meal for one or two people with room to actually move the food — searing needs space, and crowding a pan steams what should brown.
If you are buying one everyday stainless steel pan, buy this one and add the other sizes as your cooking grows.
- Two chicken breasts or two pork chops, with space to sear rather than steam
- One pound (450 g) of ground beef for tacos, chili, or a weeknight sauce
- A stir-fry or breakfast hash for two
- Three or four eggs, or a folded omelet
- Two salmon fillets, skin-side down
- A pan sauce deglazed straight from the browned fond
Shopping for a 10-inch skillet? Read the measurement first
This skillet measures 9.5 inches (24 cm) across the rim. We will not round it up to 10 inches, because it is not a 10-inch pan.
If you searched for a 10-inch skillet, measure your burners before you decide. A medium stainless steel frying pan in the 9-to-10-inch range covers the same cooking, and the half-inch difference matters less than the material and how the pan sits on your stovetop. Whether a retailer labels this size a skillet, a frying pan, or a fry pan, the rim-to-rim measurement is the number to compare.
Why choose an uncoated stainless steel skillet?
The SEIDO Cookware 9.5-inch skillet is 100% 304 (18/8) food-grade stainless steel with no coating of any kind. It is made without intentionally added PFAS and without synthetic coatings. The surface you cook on is the steel itself.
Uncoated steel changes how a pan ages. There is no surface layer to scratch, flake, or wear out. The same bare steel also builds fond, the browned layer left behind by seared food that makes pan sauces work; coated surfaces are engineered to prevent exactly that.
304 (18/8) refers to the steel's chromium and nickel content, a grade widely specified for food-contact equipment.
Which SEIDO skillet size should you choose?
SEIDO Cookware makes this skillet in three sizes. The 9.5-inch (24 cm) is the default; the other two cover the edges of the range.
If you are choosing one, choose the 9.5-inch. It covers everyday cooking with the least compromise.
- 8-inch (20 cm) — eggs, single portions, and side dishes; the natural second pan
- 9.5-inch (24 cm) — the everyday skillet; two-portion meals and weeknight cooking
- 11-inch (28 cm) — family dinners, batch cooking, and anything you would otherwise cook in two rounds

Frequently asked questions
Is a 9.5-inch skillet the right size for everyday cooking?
For everyday home cooking, yes. A 9.5-inch (24 cm) skillet handles typical weeknight cooking — two chicken breasts, a pound of ground beef, a stir-fry for two, or a three-egg omelet — while remaining easy to store. It suits households of one or two well. If you regularly cook for four or more, step up to the 11-inch (28 cm) skillet.
Does the SEIDO 9.5-inch skillet have a nonstick coating?
No. The SEIDO Cookware 9.5-inch skillet is uncoated 100% 304 (18/8) food-grade stainless steel, made without intentionally added PFAS and without synthetic coatings. There is no surface layer to scratch, flake, or wear out over time. The cooking surface is the steel itself — which is why the pan develops the browned fond that builds real pan sauces.
How do you stop food from sticking to a stainless steel skillet?
Preheat the dry skillet over medium heat for two to three minutes, add oil, and let it shimmer before food goes in. Properly heated steel releases food once a crust forms — proteins let go on their own when they are ready to turn. If food sticks, check three things: the pan may have been too cold, the food too wet, or it was turned too early. Pat food dry and give it time.
What warranty comes with the SEIDO 9.5-inch skillet?
Every SEIDO Cookware skillet carries a 5-Year Warranty, including the 9.5-inch (24 cm) size. Because the pan is uncoated 100% 304 (18/8) stainless steel, there is no coating to degrade or fail. SEIDO Cookware products are sold in the US on Amazon.com — see price on Amazon.
