- Is this pan really PTFE free?
- Yes. Gotham Steel lists the Natural Collection coating as ceramic and PTFE free, so it avoids the fluoropolymer used on most nonstick pans.
- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The aluminum and stainless steel body is rated for induction as well as gas, electric and ceramic cooktops.
- Can it go in the oven?
- Yes, it is oven safe, though the exact maximum temperature is not stated in the listing. Keep it below broiler heat to protect the coating.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Gotham Steel says it is, but hand washing is the safer choice. Dishwasher detergent and heat shorten the life of ceramic coatings.
- Can I use metal utensils?
- The pan is marketed as metal utensil safe, but ceramic coatings scratch. Silicone or wooden tools will keep the surface smoother longer.
- Is 12 inches a good size?
- It is a large pan, good for family portions, searing and stir-frying. It is bulky for single servings and harder to store than a 10-inch pan.
