Know before you buy
Yes, the Stratanium-Plus coating is specifically engineered to be durable enough for metal utensils. However, using silicone or wood tools can still help extend the overall lifespan of the nonstick surface.
Absolutely. The pan is constructed with a five-layer design that includes magnetic stainless steel, making it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
The micro-texture creates small peaks that allow for better contact with your food, resulting in a superior sear compared to traditional, perfectly smooth nonstick pans. It also makes deglazing easier, as the texture helps lift browned bits from the surface.
Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 500°F (260°C). This allows you to easily transition from searing on the stovetop to finishing dishes in the oven.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the integrity of the nonstick coating over the long term. If you do use the dishwasher, avoid harsh detergents.
The pan features a stay-cool stainless-steel handle designed to remain comfortable to the touch during normal stovetop use. However, if you are using the pan in the oven, the handle will become hot and you should use an oven mitt.
