Know before you buy
Yes, the STRATANIUM coating is engineered to be metal-utensil safe. While it is highly resistant to scratching, using silicone or wooden tools will help extend the life of the nonstick surface even further.
No, this specific model is designed for gas and electric stovetops only. It is not compatible with induction cooktops.
The patented rivetless system eliminates the internal rivets found in traditional pans, creating a completely smooth cooking surface. This makes the pan much easier to clean and prevents food from getting trapped around handle attachments.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended to maintain the integrity and performance of the nonstick coating over time.
Recycled cast aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, allowing the pan to heat up quickly and maintain a consistent temperature across the entire surface. This prevents hot spots, ensuring your food cooks evenly every time.
Yes, this pan includes its own lid, but it is also designed to be compatible with any 11-inch lid from other Scanpan product lines.
