Award-winning Products
The excellent quality of AMT products has been confirmed many times by independent authorities and numerous awards. *“The world’s best pan”, according to VKD, largest German Chefs Association.


Lotan® Coating Technology
Lotan® is the new revolutionary coating technology for modern gastronomic applications. The non-stick characteristics of our Lotan® coating simplify the cleaning of your cookware and keep the surface germ free. Our Lotan® coating makes our cookware so easy to rinse that it helps reduce your water consumption, which therefore helps save one of our planets most precious natural resources – water and your hard earned money.


Highly Robust
Our plasma coating is extremely hard and ultra-resistant. It is particularly well suited for the professional kitchen area and for extraordinary stress.


Replaceable and Detachable Handle Design
​AMT pans come with handles that can be conveniently removed and replaced using a screwdriver. 

AMT also features an exclusive detachable handle option. This handle option features a quick-release button. Simply press and slide the button backwards to release the handle from the pan. This intelligent feature provides a child-proof cooking experience. The detachable handle is also convenient for both cleaning and space savings when storing your pan(s) in smaller kitchens or cupboards.

You can also upgrade your pan(s) with the refined steel handle option to provide sleek and stylish appeal.


Dishwasher Safe
Our products all are dishwasher safe. Yet, the best way to cleanse AMT cookware is with warm water and dish washing liquid. Our self-developed coating Lotan® makes cleaning easier and keeps the pans clean and hygienic.

Care & Maintenance
Proper use, storage and maintenance will help extend the life of your AMT cookware. Our comprehensive AMT user guide is provided in both English & French.

1. Before using the cookware for the first time, remove the packaging and sticker from the bottom of the cookware.

2. Cookware should be washed with soap and water and then wiped dry. Strong detergents, brushes, rough or wire scrubbers are not recommended.

3. Place the cookware on the proper sized burner or element on your cook top. The element should match the size of the base of the cookware. This will maximize energy efficiency while cooking. For Induction cookware (a red induction symbol will be indicated on the cookware packaging) it is also important to use the proper sized burner or element. In some cases, if using a small pan on a large element, the cook top may not respond to the bottom of the dish.

4. Heat up your AMT cookware using a high temperature setting for about 1-2 minutes. To check if a pan is properly heated, put a small amount of water on the flat tab piece of the pan (illustrated in the picture shown). If the pan is properly heated the water placed on the tab piece should boil (air bubbles will be visible). AMT cookware distributes heat evenly across the entire product surface. Only use a high temperature setting to heat the cookware initially, then reduce the temperature to medium or low. The maximum warm-up time should not exceed 5 minutes. Do not overheat the pan, as keeping the temperature too high for too long can damage the non-stick coating. Do not leave the cookware unattended when the oven is turned on.

Attention! 
The entire surface of the pan will be VERY hot! Do not touch the hot pan without kitchen gloves or other proper hand protection.   The Bakelite handles will remain cool enough to handle when used on a cook top.  If they are used in the oven, the handles will become as hot as the pan.  We also recommend the use of one of our detachable handles if you will be using the pans in an oven regularly.  

5. LOTAN® (non-stick coating) is adapted for frying, cooking and baking without using oil / fat. If you decide to use a fat, oil, or non-stick oil spray, etc, make sure they are suitable for frying. Fats and oils have different smoking temperatures. Reduce the temperature when the dish begins to smoke or when you can smell the overheated oil.

6. While cooking, baking or frying it is recommended to use utensils made of soft materials like silicone, wood, or nylon. Never use metal, ceramic, pointed tools or immersion blenders as they will damage the surface of your AMT cookware.

7. AMT cookware can be used in ovens with the handles (except cookware with detachable handles), at a maximum temperature of up to 240°C (450° F). When taking the dish out from the oven, always use a kitchen glove, as the handles also become hot in the oven.

Attention! The maximum temperature for detachable handles is 140° (285°F).  For cookware without handles, or that have stainless steel handles, the maximum temperature is 260° (500°F).

FAQ & Technical

FAQ & Technical


   
People Also Ask:

Q: Where does a 20cm pan earn its place on a professional line?

A: On the station that plates individually: eggs at breakfast, a single portion cooked to order, a garnish finished to the plate. It is the pan a cook picks up dozens of times a shift, which is why weight and balance matter more here than capacity.

Q: How many 20cm pans should a kitchen hold?

A: More than of any other size, in most operations. Small pans turn over fastest during service and spend the most time in the warewash, so a station running to order typically needs several in rotation rather than one.

Q: Is a small pan a false economy for a commercial kitchen?

A: The opposite. Cooking a single portion in a large pan spreads the food thin and wastes energy heating metal that is doing nothing. Matching pan to portion is one of the simpler ways to control both quality and running cost.

Q: What should we stock alongside it for a foodservice customer?

A: The 24cm and 28cm from the same range. Operators rarely buy one size, and a kitchen that standardizes on one manufacturer gets interchangeable handles and consistent behaviour across the line, which reduces training and mistakes.

Q: Does a small pan need a small element?

A: Yes, and it is worth specifying that way. A 20cm base over a large burner sends heat up the sides rather than into the food, which wastes energy and scorches anything climbing the wall. This is the non-induction model; the A520I suits induction.

Q: How does pan size affect energy use in a busy kitchen?

A: Substantially over a shift. A pan matched to its element transfers heat where it is wanted rather than up the sides, and a small pan reaches working temperature quickly, so it can be brought up per order rather than held hot.

Q: What tends to shorten the life of a small pan in service?

A: Overheating rather than wear. A light pan on a high setting reaches damaging temperature fast, especially when it is left empty between orders. Kitchens that lose coated pans early are usually losing them to heat, not to use.

Q: Is it suitable for a culinary school or training kitchen?

A: Yes, and it is a sensible teaching size. Students work in single portions, the pan is light enough to handle safely, and consistent equipment across benches makes technique easier to assess.

Q: Can one handle serve several pans across a kitchen?

A: Yes, and it is worth specifying that way. The AMT detachable handle system fits across the range, so a kitchen can hold fewer handles than pans and free up considerable storage.

Q: What is the difference between the A520 and the A520I?

A: The base construction. Specify by the customer's hob, not by their cooking. Where a kitchen runs mixed equipment or may move to induction, supply the A520I, since an induction pan works on every hob type and the standard one does not.
