The Hawkins Futura INF16 Frypan is a compact 16 cm nonstick frying pan designed for small everyday cooking tasks where a full-size pan is unnecessary. Hawkins manufactures this model with a 3.25 mm thick aluminium body, induction-compatible base and PFOA-free nonstick surface, making it suitable for eggs, small portions of vegetables, sauces, reheating and quick snack preparation.

Hawkins Futura INF16 Frypan
The Hawkins Futura INF16 Frypan has an official 16 cm diameter, making it one of the smaller frying pans in Hawkins’ Futura range.
Its compact size is useful for preparing a single fried egg, omelette, small portions of vegetables, tempering ingredients or warming sauces without heating a larger cooking vessel.
Hawkins’ official catalogue identifies INF16 specifically as an induction-compatible nonstick frying pan without lid.
Customers who want a larger pan can compare it with Nikshan’s Hawkins Futura 20cm Hard Anodised Frying Pan or browse the wider nonstick frypan category.
3.25 mm Thick Aluminium Body
Hawkins specifies the INF16 with a 3.25 mm thickness.
The thicker aluminium body helps spread heat across the cooking surface rather than concentrating it in a small area. Hawkins positions its Futura cookware around quick and even heating, which is useful for delicate foods such as eggs and pancakes where localised overheating can affect cooking results.
The aluminium body also keeps the pan relatively manageable for everyday handling.
For long service life, cookware should be heated gradually rather than being left empty over excessively high heat.
PFOA-Free Nonstick Surface
The Futura Nonstick range uses a high-quality PFOA-free nonstick coating.
Hawkins states that the nonstick layer is firmly locked into a tough hard-anodised surface using its manufacturing process, helping improve durability compared with basic nonstick coatings.
The low-stick cooking surface is useful for foods such as fried eggs, pancakes and other recipes where easy release is desirable.
Nonstick cookware can also allow many foods to be cooked with relatively small amounts of oil or butter, depending on the recipe.
To protect the coating, users should avoid cutting food inside the pan or using sharp metal tools unless specifically permitted by the supplied manual.
Induction-Compatible Base
A major advantage of the INF16 over basic small frypans is its induction-compatible construction.
Hawkins officially labels the model “Induction Compatible Nonstick Frying Pan 16 cm.”
This makes it suitable for kitchens using an induction cooktop in addition to conventional household cooking arrangements.
When using induction, the pan should be centred on a suitably sized cooking zone for proper detection and efficient heating.
Customers who specifically need induction-ready cookware can explore Nikshan’s broader nonstick frypan range before selecting a size.
Compact Cooking for Small Portions
The 16 cm cooking surface is particularly suitable for small portions.
Rather than heating a larger 24 cm or 28 cm pan for one egg or a small quantity of ingredients, the INF16 offers a compact cooking area that can be easier to manage.
It can be useful for students, smaller households or kitchens where several pans of different sizes are kept for specific tasks.
Because the pan is small, users should select an appropriately sized burner on a gas stove to prevent flames from reaching the handle or sides.
Stay-Cool Handle Design
Hawkins’ Futura frying-pan range uses stay-cool handles firmly attached to the cookware.
The handle is designed to provide controlled everyday handling while keeping the user’s hand away from the hot cooking surface.
As with any stovetop cookware, the handle can still become warmer depending on burner size and cooking duration.
Direct flame should therefore remain beneath the base rather than extending toward the handle.
Without Glass Lid
The model code INF16 refers specifically to the frying pan without a lid.
Hawkins separately offers INF16G, which is the same 16 cm induction-compatible format supplied with a glass lid.
This distinction is important for accurate WooCommerce content.
Customers who require covered simmering or reheating should choose the INF16G variant rather than assuming a glass lid is included with INF16.
Easy Everyday Maintenance
Nonstick cookware should normally be allowed to cool before washing.
A soft sponge or cloth with mild detergent is preferable to aggressive abrasives that may damage the coating.
Users should also avoid overheating an empty nonstick pan.
Hawkins states that its Futura Nonstick range is built for longer life than ordinary nonstick cookware, but normal coating wear remains possible depending on usage and care.
