Know before you buy
Yes, the PURELYCERAMIC interior is completely free of PFAS, PFOA, and other harmful chemicals, making it a safe choice for everyday cooking.
No, this specific model is compatible with gas, electric, and halogen cooktops only. It does not have the magnetic base required for induction cooking.
While the coating is designed for easy food release, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch and degrade the nonstick surface over time.
The handle is made of phenolic material, which is designed to stay cool on the stovetop. Because of this material, it is not intended for use in the oven.
Hard-anodized aluminum is exceptionally durable and resistant to warping. It also provides superior heat distribution, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures your food cooks evenly.
