Compacted Cast for Maximum Efficiency
With Gundel frying pans, liquid aluminum is additionally compacted during casting, without air pockets. Heat is conducted 7× faster than with iron and distributes absolutely evenly – saving you time and energy.
Guaranteed wobbly-free & with inseparable handles
A wobbly base or loose handles? Not with our cast iron pans: the bases are stress-free and warp-resistant, and the handle attachments are cast in rather than just screwed – nothing wobbles here, even with daily use.
Healthy Frying Thanks to Mineral Surface
The modern, PFOA-free surface is permanently bonded and enables virtually fat-free frying without any sticking. Even delicate foods such as fish or steamed dumplings slide effortlessly, and you can prepare them like a pro.
Induction function
Suitable for all hob types
All our pans and pots can also be purchased with an additional induction function for a small surcharge! For this purpose, a ferromagnetic steel plate is inseparably cast and interlocked into the pan base during production. Thus, cooking can begin! Best results - on all hob types!

Buying a cast iron pan? But without compromises!
With Gundel, you choose the professional league in your kitchen right from the start and leave the typical compromises of conventional frying pans far behind. While others struggle with heavy cast iron pans that have to be laboriously seasoned for hours and react sensitively to every touch of tomato sauce, you enjoy absolute luxury with our models: they offer you the perfect roasting aromas of a professional pan, yet remain feather-light to handle, absolutely acid-resistant and so hygienic that after fish, sweet pastries can succeed immediately. Where insulating air pockets in conventional cast aluminum delay heating, the specially densified cast iron ensures lightning-fast and even heat distribution right to the outer edge. While stainless steel or ceramic pans often tend to stick or warp at high temperatures, the base of a Gundel cast iron pan remains 100% flat for life. And even with the details, we give our best: instead of loose screws or wobbly handles, we rely on indissolubly cast-in handle fixings that withstand even extreme loads. With Gundel, you buy a tool that perfectly supports you every day.
Unser Sortiment
Aluminium-Gusspfannen
Ob knusprig gebraten, schonend geschmort oder kreativ im Wok: Entdecke unsere vielseitigen Aluminium-Gusspfannen für jede Kochidee und jeden Geschmack. Von der klassischen Bratpfanne bis zur spezialisierten Fisch- oder Crepe Pfanne findest Du für jedes Gericht die passende Form.
Einfache Handhabung
Strong Cast Iron Pan, Secure Handle
Our handle system starts where others stop: while conventional handles are often merely screwed or spot-welded and can inevitably wobble or even break off over time, the handle attachment on your Gundel cast iron pan is directly cast into the body. This means absolute, lifelong stability for you, without annoying re-tightening – a quality feature otherwise only found in professional gastronomy.
You have the freedom to choose between a fixed handle, oven-safe up to 280 °C, or the detachable system. This is not only a true space-saver in your kitchen cabinet but also makes baking in the oven more comfortable than ever before. A decisive advantage: you don't have to laboriously hold the hot pan in the oven with a pot holder to re-engage the handle. With Gundel, you simply slide the handle securely in without having to touch the cast iron pan – it's intuitive, safe, and well thought out. Since the handle was not in the oven during baking, it remains pleasantly cool, and you can immediately and safely remove your cookware and continue working. This is professional technology that supports you in your daily life.

Innovative Cast Pans for Induction or Ceramic Hobs – Find Your Model
At Gundel, you have the choice between two perfectly coordinated series: Our classics were specially developed for ceramic, electric, or gas hobs, while our induction series revolutionizes cooking on modern magnetic fields. While many other manufacturers merely make cookware "induction-compatible" by subsequently gluing or coating a simple steel plate onto the bottom, we offer you true, perfected induction technology. The secret lies within: We melt a ferromagnetic steel plate in a state-of-the-art honeycomb structure directly into the pan body. Since the honeycomb is nature's most stable structure, it perfectly compensates for the different expansion values of aluminum and steel. For you, this means: Your pan not only transfers heat extremely quickly and evenly but also remains absolutely dimensionally stable even under the highest demands. This gives you one of the most advanced technologies currently available on the market, and you enjoy maximum efficiency on your induction hob. But of course, our ceramic models also offer you all the advantages and are suitable for electric and gas hobs in addition to ceramic hobs.

Tall or flat, round or angular: Cast iron pans for every culinary challenge

Our classic frying pans are the perfect all-rounders for anything stir-fried, while our high-sided pans (also ideal as braising pans) effortlessly prepare larger portions or dishes with a lot of sauce.

When it comes to braising or au gratin dishes, our casserole dishes with two handles are your first choice, as they are particularly secure to hold and guarantee effortless handling even when full. And as an extra: you can, of course, also find lids to match the cast iron pans in our shop.

Gundel's Best Cast Pans – They Simply Work
Behind Gundel lies a true success story that began in 1972. From the very beginning, our ambition was to develop a cast pan that simply works. And so, for over 50 years, our cookware has stood for uncompromising quality. Then, as now, the goal was to end kitchen frustration: no more sticking fish, wobbly handles, or pan bases that deform with heat. We have always been one step ahead of our time: when the first ceramic hobs appeared and many conventional pots became unusable, our products could keep up because they were already 100% flat cast. The passion for perfect frying results – where meat stays juicy inside and steamed dumplings brown evenly to the edge – is the heart of our family business. If you choose a Gundel cast pan today, you're not just buying cookware; you're investing in the decades of experience of a specialist who knows exactly what professionals and hobby cooks need: a robust, health-conscious, and durable tool that will never let you down.
