Is it really induction compatible?

Yes. The tri-ply base includes a magnetic stainless layer, so it works on induction as well as gas, electric and glass-ceramic.

Can I use metal utensils in it?

No. The Starflon Premium coating scratches, so use silicone, wood or plastic tools to keep the release intact.

Can it go in the oven?

Yes, up to 260°C. The stainless handle is oven safe, so you can finish frittatas or sear then bake in the same pan.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Tramontina rates it for daily dishwasher use, though hand washing will help the non-stick coating last longer.

How much food does a 26 cm pan hold?

The pan holds about 2.2 L to the rim, and Tramontina recommends filling to about three-quarters of that for cooking.

How does it compare with a bare stainless pan?

It is easier to clean and needs less oil, but it cannot take metal utensils or the high-heat searing a bare stainless or carbon steel pan handles.
