Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed for gas and electric stovetops only. It is not compatible with induction ranges.
Yes, the proprietary STRATANIUM nonstick coating is engineered to be metal-utensil safe. However, using silicone or wooden tools will generally help extend the lifespan of any nonstick surface.
The saucepan and its stainless-steel handle are oven-safe up to 500°F, making it suitable for finishing dishes or keeping sauces warm.
While the ergonomic stainless-steel handle is designed to stay cooler for longer than the pan body, it can still conduct heat during extended cooking sessions. We recommend keeping an oven mitt or towel nearby when handling.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand-washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is often recommended to maintain the integrity of the nonstick coating over many years.
