Know before you buy
Yes, the patented STRATANIUM coating is engineered to be exceptionally durable and is safe to use with metal utensils. However, to extend the lifespan of the nonstick properties, we still recommend using silicone or wooden tools when possible.
Yes, the CTX sauté pan features a stainless-steel exterior cladding that makes it fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction.
This pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing it. Frequent dishwasher cycles can eventually dull the brushed stainless-steel exterior finish over time.
Yes, the included lid is designed to be interchangeable with any 10.25-inch lid from other Scanpan cookware lines.
The five-ply construction, which layers recycled cast aluminum and stainless steel, ensures rapid heat distribution and excellent heat retention. This prevents hot spots and provides consistent results across the entire surface of the pan.
