Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed for gas, electric, halogen, and ceramic cooktops. It does not feature the magnetic base required for induction cooking.
While the pan features a durable phenolic handle, it is primarily designed for stovetop use. We recommend checking the specific temperature rating on the packaging, but generally, ceramic-coated pans with phenolic handles have limited oven-safe capabilities.
Yes, to preserve the longevity of the ceramic non-stick surface, you should use silicone, wood, or nylon utensils. Metal tools can scratch and compromise the coating over time.
While many ceramic pans are technically dishwasher safe, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild soap is highly recommended. This practice significantly extends the life of the non-stick coating compared to the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher.
The 5-quart capacity provides generous depth, making it ideal for braising, simmering sauces, or cooking one-pan meals for a family. The high walls are specifically designed to contain splatters and hold larger volumes of liquid.
