- Is a 9-inch skillet big enough for two people?
- It handles one or two portions of eggs, vegetables or a small sauté. For family-sized meals or searing larger cuts, a 10- to 12-inch pan is a better fit.
- Is it oven-safe?
- Basic aluminum nonstick pans like this are usually limited to stovetop use or low oven temperatures. Check the handle material before putting it in the oven.
- How should I care for the nonstick coating?
- Use low to medium heat, wooden or silicone utensils, and hand wash with a soft sponge. High heat and metal tools shorten the coating's life.
- Does it work on induction cooktops?
- Plain aluminum does not work on induction. This pan suits gas, electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops.
- How does it compare with a ceramic nonstick pan?
- Ceramic coatings are often more scratch-resistant and tolerate higher heat, but they lose nonstick performance too. This aluminum pan is lighter and simpler.
