Korkmaz Ornella 9.5-Inch Nonstick Aluminum Frying Pan, Granite Black, Induction Ready
Korkmaz Ornella 9.5-Inch Nonstick Aluminum Frying Pan – Granite Black
At a Glance
- What it is: a 9.5-inch (24 cm) everyday nonstick fry pan with a granite-look finish.
- Coating: 5 layers of German Weilburg Volcanite nonstick, PFOA-free.
- Rare feature: a Solar Base that is genuinely induction ready — unusual for an aluminum pan.
- Made in Turkey by Korkmaz, a cookware maker of 50-plus years.
- ⚠ Before you buy: This is a low-sided 9.5-inch skillet (about 2-inch walls) — great for eggs and searing, but not a deep saute pan; and the coating is PTFE, so it is PFOA-free but not PFAS-free.
Korkmaz Ornella is the everyday egg-and-saute pan you reach for first. A forged aluminum body heats fast and even, a 5-layer granite-look Volcanite coating releases food cleanly, and a genuine induction-ready Solar Base means it works on modern cooktops that reject most aluminum pans. Turkish-made quality at an everyday price.
Key Features
- Induction-ready Solar Base: A magnetic base lets this aluminum pan work on induction as well as gas and electric — a rare combination.
- 5-layer Volcanite nonstick: German-engineered granite-look coating for clean release with little oil.
- Fast, even forged aluminum: Heats quickly and evenly for consistent frying and sauteing.
- Everyday 9.5-inch size: The go-to diameter for eggs, omelets, a couple of chops, or a single-pan meal.
- Comfortable stay-cool handle: An ergonomic handle with a high-temperature silicone finish.
- PFOA-free coating: Fries and sautes without PFOA.
Before You Buy
The honest limits, so this arrives as the product you pictured.
- It is a low-sided skillet. With walls around 2 inches, it is built for frying and searing, not for holding a lot of liquid.
- PTFE coating, so treat it gently. Use wood or silicone tools, medium heat, and hand wash to protect the nonstick despite dishwasher-safe claims.
- PFOA-free is not PFAS-free. The nonstick is a fluoropolymer coating.

A: It is a low-sided fry pan (about 2-inch walls) — ideal for eggs and searing rather than holding lots of sauce.
