A cheap non-stick coming back with the coating off the rim is a familiar morning in kitchenware. You process the return. The customer leaves a bit less willing to take your word on the next pan. Stores got cautious on coated frypans for that reason. People still buy them, so the category never quite went away.
Honeycomb is the pattern etched into the cooking surface: hexagons, with stainless coming through the coating. You can hold the pan up and the customer can see it. Hybrid is a useful word on a website. Honeycomb is the word on the carton, so that is the one worth putting on a ticket.
In Minto we have four Vinod Honeycomb shapes. A frypan, a kadahi, a concave tawa and a dosa tawa. You buy against the cooking your customers already do.
The HEXA frypan
Kitchen specialists have been putting the Vinod Platinum Pro X NUTRICHEF HEXA Honeycomb Frypan on a clean fixture because people pick it up. The product page lists stainless steel. Giftware is usually where this pan sits. If you only have space for one honeycomb pan, start with this one.
The Nutritech kadahi
Indian grocery already runs kadahis, so this is an easy add. The Vinod Nutritech Kadahi Honeycomb w/Lid is the honeycomb version of that shape, lid on, stainless steel on the product page. Park it with the plain stainless kadahis. Then the coating conversation happens on the curry bay.
Concave tawa and dosa tawa
The Vinod Platinum Pro X Concave Tawa Honeycomb 25cm is for cooking that wants a dip in the middle. The Vinod Platinum Pro X Dosa Tawa Honeycomb is the flat one. They read clearly beside your other tawas, where the honeycomb surface shows they belong together. On a mixed frypan hook they look like two more black pans. The product pages show the Vinod name and the pattern.
On the bay
Giftware buyers tend to open with the frypan. A grocery that already sells curry cookware adds the kadahi on that curry run. Shops with a tawa section put the honeycomb tawas there. The raised honeycomb is meant to take utensil wear. Sizes and cooktops are on each product page.
