Our take on the Cooks 12" Aluminum Frypan

The Cooks 12-inch frypan is a hard-anodized aluminum skillet with a wide cooking surface for family-size batches of eggs, stir-fries and searing. It works on gas, electric and ceramic cooktops and is rated to 450°F, so it can move from stovetop to oven. It is dishwasher safe, which is unusual at this price. At $13.49 at JCPenney as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range and is cheap enough to treat as a starter or backup pan.

Questions and answers

Is this pan nonstick?
The listing describes a hard-anodized aluminum body, not a nonstick coating. Expect to use oil or butter, and season the pan if the maker recommends it.
Can I use it on an induction cooktop?
No. It is listed for gas, electric and ceramic only. Aluminum does not work on induction without a magnetic base.
Can it go in the oven?
Yes, up to 450°F. Check that the handle is oven safe before broiling or using high heat.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes, the maker lists it as dishwasher safe. Hand washing is gentler on the anodized finish over time.
Is $13.49 a good price?
It is the best new price among the three stores that carry it as of November 4, 2026, and it is low for a 12-inch hard-anodized pan. Stock and pricing at JCPenney can change.

One 12-inch frypan. No lid or other accessories are included.
