I have purchased many of these Arcosteel Frypans, and usually have found them long lasting and good value. However the last one purchased over six months ago the metal piece has lifted off, on the base of the frypan. I have not used it for sometime and was going to throw it out, however decided to see if this has happened to other users. I have an… Read more
induction stove top. The marking on the base has Arcosteel STONEHENGE, Suitable for all cooktops Dishwasher Safe 11-23 I can send this back to the manufactures, if given address
Non stick Coating – I have a Arcosteel Stonehenge frypan and it works. It has a solid stainless steel base BUT. .the non stick coating bothers me. It's interesting that Arcosteel or their main reseller Woolworths won't answer any questions here on product review. So just my humble opinion, use a stainless steel/cast iron frypan instead. I will be disposing of my Arcosteel frypan in the recycling. Thanks for reading Show details

Faulty Handle – My 30cm Stonehenge Frypan came with a 25 year warranty so that's why i decided to buy it. The Handle became loose after a year or so and it could not be Tightened. Very dangerous as aparently my handle was missing a safety guard. I decided to claim my $30 frypan on the 25 Year Warranty. I have just sent it back by reply paid to get it fixed.… Read more
Crazy I know this $30 frypan will cost the company more in postage than the actual frypan cost, but they offered a 25 year warranty so why not claim on it. The company is extremely difficult to deal as is their customer service department and their account manager. Don't waste your money on this rubbish. I will never buy an Arcosteel product again.
**Update the Frypan was fixed under warranty and returned. The Handle Fell off again 3 weeks later and Arcosteel finally refunded my $30 after 32 emails. I advised them that this Frypan should be recalled and taken off the market before someone gets seriously burnt.
Not entirely sure now – Always read reviews before purchasing. I didn’t on this occasion. Lol. Ok, mine is brand new today June 2023. Purchased it at 11.30 am. I love using new products…. immediately! Did steak great and then scrambled eggs. Wiped clean. I use induction. I did season the fry pan before starting. I purchased from Woolies. Reading other posts, going to… Read more
keep receipt incase handle drops off!!! I think I watch too much Masterchef and get overly confident in cooking.
Faulty Handle – Bought 30cm Stonehenge Frypan. 28/4/22, from Woolworths for $30. Only 10 months old with a 25yr warranty & the handle fell off, lucky as I was putting it into washing water. Tried putting screw back in but will not hold. Seems like is stripped in the pan section. Tried phoning customer service, but waste of time as tells you to put an extension… Read more
number in. Can't get to talk to anybody and they hang up on you. Sent an email got 2 back, one will contact you in 1-2 days, well past it, & another saying as there is a delay in sending items out will be 14days. I sent photos, but after reading other reviews, this item should be recalled ASAP, as is dangerous. Be careful as you could be burnt badly. Do not recommend this product.
Best non stick frypan ever! 5 years daily use still going strong – I purchase a combo pack - one small and one large 5 years ago from Woolworths for $29. Small one gets used almost every day for eggs and it is only starting to stick a little bit now after 4 years. Such a shame they don't seem to have this 16cm size anymore. I've had other brands for double or triple the price and they can't compare. Only downside… Read more
is the plastic handle doesn't feel too good in my opinion, especially when there's a bit of oil splatter on it. It is light and super easy to clean. I expect this to last another 2 years. As with all non stick don't use at high heat, don't cool it down rapidly and no metal utensils on the coating.
Positive reviews
Budget price. Excellent performance, proven over 4 years use – I posted a review of an Arcosteel fry pan way back on August 2021 after having using it for 2 years. Now in March 2023 this great fry pan has finally lost its ability to function completely non-stick. In total, 4 years of absolute complete satisfactory performance. I don’t know how many meals have been cooked, it would be many hundreds. … Read more
Needless to say I have purchased another Arcosteel Stonehenge fry pan as a replacement and expect it to provide an equally satisfactory performance.
Reliable and durable (cheaper) – I have 2 arcosteel pans. Both are great. Food doesnt stick, very easy to clean, cheaper, durable, used them alot compare with my le creuset/greenpan. I love my le creuset and green pan but they are difficult to clean compare with arcosteel. Even i thrown away my tefal because it was bad. Arcosteel is better than tefal. Show details
Better than expensive brands! – I am so happy after around 3 years of use, still no chip/scratch on coating. I do use a bit of oil and only use silicon utensils to cook to avoid scratching the surface. I wait for it to cool down before washing. Show details
Negative reviews
Unable to tighten handle – Only had this for a few months, handle has become loose. Tighten with small screwdriver each time used, until now not holding at all - thread stripped. Show details
2 years – We sent it back after less than two years and were told we could not have it replaced again. We purchased this item from Woolworths and kept the receipts and guarantee. After contacting the supplier because woollies would not swap it over. They gave us instructions on how to clean it which we had done prior. It was still sticking. We boxed the… Read more
item up and sent back. They told us we had overheated it, which I disagree with because we followed the instructions carefully. Apart from the failed nonstick the middle of the pan bowed upwards. On return of the item, we were told that we could not have it replaced again. So again, after less than two years it has lost its nonstick and bowed in the middle. We may try to return it again, but I wouldn’t spend my money on this item if you’re expecting to last.
Dangerous faulty handle – The non-stick is very good but the handle is very dangerous - could qualify for a product recall? The handle simply drops off in the middle of cooking. Woolworths refuse to take as a return although the product is guaranteed for 25 years - I was told to contact the manufacturer. I am awaiting a reply. Show details

Faulty handle – We have had two of these frypans which we really like but as per a number of reviews the handles become loose over time and after a few times of tightening them the thread fails and will not tighten. Clearly a design fault. Contacted the company and they requested we return them for repair, they didn't require proof of purchase. REPLY PAID 87866… Read more

They were returned within 2 weeks and so far no problems. Maybe if all who have had handle problens return them the company might redesign. The cost of postage both ways and time to repair would be more than the original cost of the frypan.
It's a shame about the handle – The pan itself is fantastic. We purchased ours from Woolworths and it was a significant improvement from any fry pan we'd used in the past. Unfortunately after a few months, our first pan's handle came loose. We tightened it several times, however it then got to an irreparable stage. We purchased a second pan thinking (hoping) our first was a dud… Read more
as the pan itself is great but unfortunately we now have the same issue. We will purchase a different brand as this is not only a waste of money but it's a massive safety issue.
Handle comes off – I bought a 30cm fry pan from Woolworths about 4 months ago and the handle came off. So I bought another one and guess what.... the handle came off! They obviously have a manufacturing issue with the fry pans as I can see others comments on here with the same issues. Show details
Purched 3 sets Fran's scrap – The fry pans everything stuck 2 them.Fry pans were supposed 2 be able 2 be non stick ph u no assistance puruched new from store.Need new set of pans n pots. Show details
Poor quality. Like other user handle broken after 2-3 months use – Same as other user the handle came off. I have tried tightening multiple times and it's just broken. Only a couple months old. Lost the receipt now and can't return this rubbish. The old ones might have been good quality but beware of the new ones as the handles are rubbish Show details
Handle comes off! – The handle comes clean off whilst washing this pan. It has happened twice. Terrible quality. It was great at the beginning ,I loved the actual quality of the pan but the handle is IMO dangerous. Show details
Outstanding value for money – Have used one of these pans 2 to 4 times a week for over 2 years and it still performs perfectly. Previously have had several expensive big name pans that cost 4 or 7 times more and every one failed within 8 or 9 months. Some, only after 3 months. I do highly recommend this “cheap “pan from Woollies. It has proven for me, that for non-stick fry-pans, price and name brand is no guarantee of endurance and quality performance. Show details
Performs much better than expected – No lid, but hey for $22.50 I can borrow one off another pan or pay $10 at kmart Handles don’t get hot. After a minute on high I turn it down to low-medium. Cooks eggs, fried rice without sticking. A bit of water in it after it cools a bit and everything just wipes off. Never needed anything abrasive to clean it. Performs much better than another… Read more
brand name pan I own. I plan to get another pan when it’s on special next as a backup. Bought it for my kids too
Probably got a faulty piece – Picked up this pan from woolies after reading the rave reviews here. It was also on a discount. I washed , pre-seasoned it as recommended and used it on low-medium heat for the first time. As soon as the pan was heated, it started giving off a burning chemical kind of smell. I quickly developed a headache from it. The surface of the pan was left with bubbles. Needless to say, returned for a full refund. Hunt for a good frypan goes on Show details

Best frypan i have found – Bought a month ago from woolies and the best non stick pan i have ever bought and a great price @ $30.Solid pan and comes in 2 sizes .Do yourself a favour and buy one and try it out. Show details
Best frypan ever used – Best frypan. Use for everything nothing sticks wipes out with paper towel or little hot water, not too heavy, handle stays cool. Really is the best ever. love it brilliant Show details
Great frypan from Woolies – Thanks to these reviews I purchased this pan at Woolies for $25 two weeks ago. Nothing sticks, it’s a good weight, comfortable to use. 25 year warranty is amazing. Saw it on special last week, 30% off. Highly recommend. Show details
Great frypan good price – We use this frypan in our commercial kitchen where we can do 10 eggs in a row and none of them stick. A couple of tricks with these pans is always wash by hand, just with dish washing liquid and a soft sponge/cloth. Dry it with a soft cloth. Also do not use oil from a spray can as it has an additive that destroys the non-stick ability. Get hold… Read more
of a oil sprayer from the kitchen aisle of the supermarket and use the oil you like (we use olive oil but any will do. You will have a pan that serves you for a long time.
Best pan for home cooking. Highly recommended. ********* – I have three fry pans ,1 small ,2 large have been using them for some years 1 large is in my bush trailer for open fire use other two in kitchen at home . cannot fault them ,love them have thrown out all other pans and roasting dishes including Scanpans and others.Now always give for Gifts to others.CHEERS Show details
Great pan inexpensive price – After owning expensive non stick pans Swiss diamond and scanpan which lost there non stick with in a year, I bought the arcosteel on sale for $17. After 3 months the non stick works great and it is lightweight and easy to clean. Handle does not get hot. Highly recommended over expensive brands Show details
Shockingly durable non stick surface – I bought this pan by accident 6 years ago just thinking it was another gimmick non stick surface pan that would last only a few months, its still non-stick. I'm still shocked at how this is possible for such a cheap pan. Absolutely amazing product. Show details
Awesome cooking surface - WOW! – We are in the process of a warranty claim with another ‘more expensive brand’ and opted for a Stonehenge 30cm pan to get by with. Very impressed with not only construction and cooking surface but by far the price for that. Thoroughly recommended - we have induction hob and this pan is ideal :-) Show details
Very good value for money, just treat it well! – Bought the 26cm version from Woollies for $17.50 after reading the good reviews here. The pan feels solid, sturdy and well built. The fact that it's doesn't have rivets on the cooking side is a plus for cooking and especially cleaning. A couple of things to take into account before first using it: - Wash it with warm water, mild soap and a soft… Read more
sponge. - Rinse well and dry it. - Take a paper towel and a teaspoon of your favourite cooking oil and spread it all over it with the paper (except the silicone handle). - You'll notice the paper catches some fine black/grey dust. Discard that paper and repeat the process until the paper comes out clean. - Remove the excess oil with a new paper towel. Your frying pan is now seasoned and should last long if you treat it well.
*I'm not giving it 5 stars because quality control is not great on these pans, you can find some at the store that don't have a completely smooth surface and tiny bumps (like little grains had been trapped under the coating at the manufacturing process). Carefully inspect all the surface of the pan before buying.
Awesome frying pans – After disappointing and expensive Scanpan ownership, I stumbled across the Arcosteel Stonehenge by accident and have never looked back - awesome performance for a fraction of the cost. As one of the other reviewers mentioned, I am a little sad that they don’t last forever and sadly end up in landfill - but then again so did my exxy Scanpan, so the Stonehenge is definitely the better option.

Best frypan I’ve had – I bought my first stone henge pan over a year ago. It’s still like new, even if I cook something with a sticky sauce and it dries on, the next day I can just put warm water in and it wipes out easily. I’ve not noticed any wearing out of the non stick coating. I had one of those blue pans previously that started off well but then started… Read more
discoulouring and losing it’s smooth surface but the stone henge hasn’t had that happen. I saw the bigger one today going for half price so I’ve bought one of them too.
great product for the price – I bought this Arcosteel non stick frypan on sale at Woolworths, to replace my "flaking" Swiss Diamond non stick frypan. I also previously owned a Scanpan non stick frying pan, which didn't last too well either. First time I have ever bought a frypan in Woolies, and it won't be my last time. So, so happy with my purchase. Works well, easy to clean,… Read more
no flaking/peeling as yet. At this price, I don't mind if I have to replace it every few years. I will never again spend lots of money on a non stick frypan.
Happy so far – I purchased the 30cm Stonehenge pan a month ago after reading the reviews. I too was disgusted that the so called 'better' brand I had bought prior was such poor quality and the 'non stick' was useless after such a short time. Happy with my Tefal Stonehenge and at $30 will gladly buy another when necessary. Show details
