Know before you buy
Yes, the STRATANIUM+ surface is engineered to be exceptionally hard and resistant to wear, making it safe for use with metal utensils. However, using silicone or wooden tools will help extend the life of the nonstick coating even further.
Absolutely. The pan features a five-ply stainless steel construction that is fully compatible with induction, as well as electric, ceramic, and halogen stovetops.
The HaptIQ fry pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to easily finish seared meats or bake dishes that require a transition from the stovetop to the oven.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, you should always use an oven mitt when removing the pan from the oven.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to maintain the mirror-polished finish and the longevity of the nonstick surface.
The microtextured surface is designed to improve searing performance by creating small pockets that help release food more easily while ensuring even browning. It provides the searing capability of a traditional stainless steel pan with the convenience of a nonstick finish.
