- Does it work on induction?
- Yes. The base is induction compatible, and it also works on gas, electric coil and glass-top ranges.
- Is the lid oven safe?
- The pan is oven safe to 500°F. Tempered glass lids are usually rated lower, so check the lid's own limit before putting it in a hot oven.
- Is the ceramic coating PTFE-free?
- Yes. Ceramic nonstick contains no PTFE or PFOA, which is the main reason shoppers pick it over standard nonstick.
- How should I care for the ceramic surface?
- Use silicone or wooden utensils, avoid high heat when empty, and hand wash. Ceramic release fades with abrasive scrubbing and dishwasher cycles.
- How does it compare with a cast iron skillet?
- It is lighter and easier to clean, and the lid helps with braising. Cast iron sears harder and lasts longer but needs seasoning and weighs more.
