- Is this pan induction-compatible?
- No. It is aluminum, so it works on gas, electric coil and ceramic glass but not on induction cooktops.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- Better not. The nonstick coating is soft, and metal spatulas and whisks will scratch it. Use silicone, wood or plastic.
- Is it oven-safe?
- Yes, the pan and riveted handle can go into the oven, though the nonstick coating lasts longer if you keep oven temperatures moderate.
- How does it compare with a clad stainless skillet?
- It heats faster and releases food far more easily, but stainless steel survives high heat and metal utensils that would ruin this coating.
- How should I clean it?
- Hand wash with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid dishwasher cycles and abrasive pads, which dull the coating.
- What size cooking surface does the 12-inch pan give?
- The pan is 12 inches across, enough for a four-egg omelet or a stir-fry for two to three people.
- Where is the Tramontina Professional Nonstick Restaurant Fry Pan 12-Inch cheapest?
- At Amazon, for $37.95, as of our latest check.
