Know before you buy
Yes, the Stratanium+ coating is engineered to be exceptionally durable and is safe for use with metal utensils. However, using silicone or wooden tools will help extend the life of the nonstick surface even further.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, we recommend hand washing to maintain the mirror-polished stainless steel exterior and ensure the nonstick coating lasts as long as possible.
The cast stainless steel handle is designed to stay cooler than the pan body during stovetop use. However, it will become hot if used in the oven, so always use an oven mitt when handling it after baking or roasting.
The 5-layer clad-aluminum construction provides superior heat distribution and retention. This eliminates hot spots and ensures that your food cooks evenly across the entire surface of the pan.
Yes, the HaptIQ sauté pan is fully compatible with all cooktop types, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
This pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C), making it versatile enough for searing on the stove and finishing dishes in the oven.
