Product Overview — TEFAL Eternal Wokpan 28 cm (E4971634)
What it is:
A 28 cm wok-style pan made from stainless steel with built-in non-stick mesh coating that combines the durability of stainless cookware with easier food release compared to plain steel.
Features
✔ Stainless steel construction with mesh coating — scratch-resistant surface embedded in a protective grid reduces sticking and makes food release easier than bare stainless steel alone.
✔ Triply base (stainless/aluminium/stainless) — ensures fast, even heat distribution for consistent cooking results.
✔ Includes lid (usually tempered glass) — great for simmering, braising, and retaining moisture during cooking.
✔ Induction-ready & all-hob compatibility — works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops.
✔ 10-year/long-term durability focus — many Eternal series products come with extended warranties on the stainless body, reflecting Tefal’s confidence in the build.
✔ Large 28 cm size — ideal for family meals, stir-fry, curries, and one-pan dishes.
Cooking & Use
-
Best for: Stir-frying, sautéing, browning meats and vegetables, making curries, stews, and wok-style dishes.
-
Heat: Because it’s stainless with mesh coating, preheat well with some oil to maximise non-stick performance, especially with eggs or delicate ingredients.
-
Cleaning: Easier than plain stainless steel, but still best cared for with gentle washing to prolong the mesh surface.
Why Choose Eternal Mesh vs Traditional Non-Stick
| Feature | Eternal Mesh Stainless | Standard Non-Stick Wok (e.g., Natura) |
|---|---|---|
| Durability | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (scratch-resistant mesh) | ⭐⭐⭐ (softer coating) |
| Induction | ✔ Yes | Depends on model |
| Browning & Searing | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Non-stick ease | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (classic non-stick slickness) |
| Cleaning | ✔ Easier than plain SS | ✔ Very easy |
| Ideal for | Mixed everyday cooking + higher heat | Mainly delicate + low-fat cooking |
Eternal Mesh is a good hybrid choice if you want the robustness of stainless plus smarter sticking performance. Traditional non-stick (like the Natura line) tends to feel slicker but wears faster over time.
