Know before you buy
Yes, the 3-layer nonstick interior is metal-utensil-safe. However, using silicone or wooden tools will still help extend the life of the nonstick coating over time.
No, this griddle is designed for gas, electric coil, and electric smooth-top stoves. It is not compatible with induction cooktops.
The griddle is oven-safe up to 450°F. This makes it suitable for finishing dishes or keeping food warm, but be sure not to exceed this temperature to avoid damaging the nonstick coating.
The stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, it will become hot if used inside the oven, so always use an oven mitt.
Yes, this griddle is dishwasher-safe. For the best long-term performance, hand-washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended to preserve the nonstick surface.
MineralShield technology uses mineral-infused materials to create a surface that is 5x more durable than standard nonstick. This provides better resistance to scratches and ensures a longer-lasting food release.
