Know before you buy
Yes. While the body of the pan is hard-anodized aluminum, it features a bonded stainless steel base specifically designed to work on induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen stoves.
Yes, these pans are oven-safe up to 500°F. This makes them versatile enough to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven.
Yes, the HA1 collection uses a high-quality, PFOA-free nonstick coating. It is designed for effortless food release and easy cleanup without the use of harmful chemicals.
While the pans are technically durable, we recommend hand washing them to preserve the integrity and lifespan of the nonstick coating. Harsh dishwasher detergents can degrade the surface over time.
The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, because they are made of metal, they will become hot if used in the oven, so always use an oven mitt.
To keep the nonstick coating in the best condition, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch or damage the surface.
