- Is this skillet oven safe?
- Yes, it is oven safe up to 500°F, so you can finish frittatas or baked dishes in the oven. Avoid broiler use, which can damage the nonstick coating.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- It is best to use silicone, wood or plastic utensils. Metal utensils can scratch the nonstick coating and shorten its life.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Hand washing is recommended. Dishwasher detergent and heat wear down nonstick coatings faster, so hand washing keeps the release longer.
- What is the 9-inch size good for?
- It suits eggs, omelets, pancakes, single servings of vegetables and small sautés. For family-sized meals, a 10- or 12-inch pan is more practical.
- How does it compare with a stainless steel skillet?
- It releases delicate food more easily and needs less oil, but stainless steel browns better and lasts longer. This pan is for low-to-medium heat cooking, not hard searing.
