Know before you buy
The XD coating is infused with 20% more real diamond crystals than previous generations. This creates a significantly more durable, heat-conductive surface that offers superior food release and resistance to wear.
No, this specific model is designed for gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. It is not compatible with induction surfaces.
The interior of the pan is completely smooth, with no rivets protruding into the cooking surface. This prevents food particles from getting trapped and makes the pan much easier to clean and more hygienic.
Actually, no. Because the cast aluminum body and diamond-infused coating are highly conductive, the pan is designed to perform best on low to medium heat settings. Using high heat is unnecessary and can eventually damage the nonstick coating.
Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C). This allows you to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven without needing to switch cookware.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild soap to extend the life of the nonstick coating. The surface is designed for easy release, so a quick rinse is usually all that is required.
