- Is the HA1 Expert skillet oven safe?
- Yes. The stainless steel handle is oven safe, so you can finish dishes under the broiler or in the oven. Check the lid's rating if you bought the version with one.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The hard-anodized aluminum base is built for induction as well as gas and electric cooktops.
- How does it compare with All-Clad's stainless skillets?
- The HA1 heats fast and releases food easily, but stainless gives better browning and lasts far longer. Choose HA1 for eggs and fish, stainless for searing.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- Better not. Metal utensils and abrasive scrubbers damage the nonstick coating; use silicone, wood or plastic.
- Should I buy the version with the lid?
- The lid helps for simmering, steaming and keeping food warm, and it makes the pan more versatile. Skip it if you already own a fitting lid.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Hand washing is recommended to protect the nonstick coating. Dishwasher cycles shorten its life.
- Where is the All-Clad HA1 Expert Nonstick Skillet w/ Lid cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $99.99, as of our latest check.
