Know before you buy
Yes, the Sear Nonstick surface is engineered to be metal-utensil safe. While it is durable enough to handle metal spatulas and spoons, using silicone or wood tools will still help extend the life of the nonstick coating over time.
Yes, both the pan and the included tempered glass cover are oven-safe. This makes it a great choice for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven, such as frittatas or braised dishes.
This pan is dishwasher-safe, offering a convenient cleanup option. However, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is generally recommended to maintain the integrity of the nonstick surface for as long as possible.
The 'Everyday' designation refers to the pan's versatile shape, which features slightly higher, sloped sides and dual loop handles. This design provides more capacity than a traditional skillet, making it ideal for one-pot meals, sautéing, and even shallow braising.
Hard-anodized aluminum is known for its excellent heat conductivity and durability. It heats up quickly and evenly across the entire surface, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures consistent results when searing or browning.
