Know before you buy
Yes, the patented STRATANIUM coating is engineered to be metal-utensil safe. While it is highly durable, using silicone or wooden tools can still help extend the long-term life of the nonstick finish.
Yes, the five-ply stainless-steel construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
These pans are oven-safe up to 500°F. This allows you to easily transition from searing on the stovetop to finishing dishes in the oven.
You can cook with or without oil. The nonstick surface is designed to release food easily, making it a great choice for healthier, low-fat cooking.
Yes, they are dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup. However, hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended to maintain the exterior finish and nonstick performance over time.
The handles are designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, because they are made of stainless steel and are oven-safe, they will become hot if used in the oven or under a broiler, so always use an oven mitt.
