Know before you buy
Yes, the STRATANIUM surface is designed to be metal-utensil safe. While it is highly durable, using silicone or wooden tools will still help extend the life of the nonstick coating over time.
Yes, the 5-ply construction features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction, as well as gas and electric smooth-top stoves.
The Scanpan CTX fry pan is oven-safe up to 500°F. This allows you to easily finish dishes like frittatas or seared steaks directly in the oven after browning them on the stovetop.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the nonstick surface for as long as possible.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. However, it will become hot if the pan is placed inside the oven, so always use an oven mitt.
The 5-ply construction consists of layers of recycled aluminum clad in high-quality stainless steel. This design provides rapid, even heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven cooking.
