Know before you buy
Yes, the STRATANIUM+ coating is engineered to be metal-utensil safe. However, to maximize the lifespan of the nonstick surface, we still recommend using silicone or wooden tools when possible.
Absolutely. The 5-layer aluminum-clad construction includes a magnetic stainless steel exterior, making it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
The HaptIQ Sauté Pan is oven-safe up to 500°F. This allows you to easily transition from searing on the stovetop to finishing dishes in the oven.
While the pan is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water. Harsh dishwasher detergents can degrade the nonstick coating over time, so hand washing is the best way to preserve its performance.
The micro-textured surface is designed to improve searing performance by creating small contact points for your food. It also helps with food release, making the pan easier to clean after cooking.
The cast-stainless steel handles are designed to stay cooler during stovetop use. However, they will get hot if left over a direct flame or inside a hot oven, so always use an oven mitt when handling.
