Know before you buy
Yes, the Toughened Nonstick Pro collection features a PFOA-free, triple-reinforced coating designed to be safe for everyday cooking.
While the nonstick surface is engineered for durability, we recommend using silicone, wood, or heat-resistant plastic utensils to maintain the integrity and longevity of the coating.
Yes, the pan is oven-safe up to 500°F, though the included glass lid is typically rated for lower temperatures, usually up to 425°F. Always check the specific temperature limits for the lid before placing it in the oven.
Yes, the Toughened Nonstick Pro collection is compatible with all stovetops, including induction, thanks to its magnetic stainless steel base.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to preserve the nonstick surface and prevent the coating from dulling over time.
The fitted glass lid allows you to monitor your food's progress without lifting the lid, which helps maintain consistent internal heat and moisture levels during cooking.
