Know before you buy
Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 450°F, making it suitable for finishing dishes or keeping food warm.
No, this specific model is designed for gas, electric, and halogen stovetops and is not compatible with induction ranges.
To maintain the longevity of the nonstick surface, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils rather than metal tools, which can scratch the coating.
While the pan is easy to clean, hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the nonstick interior and the hard-anodized finish.
The two-handle design provides better balance and stability, making it easier to lift and maneuver the 12-inch pan safely, especially when it is full.
Hard-anodized aluminum is exceptionally durable and resistant to corrosion and warping. It also provides excellent heat conductivity, which helps eliminate hot spots for more consistent cooking results.
