- Is this pan oven safe?
- No. The manufacturer lists it as not oven safe, so keep it on the stovetop and skip broiler finishing.
- Can it go in the dishwasher?
- No. It is not dishwasher safe; wash it by hand to protect the non-stick coating.
- What is 9-gauge aluminum good for?
- It is thick commercial-grade aluminum that spreads heat evenly and resists warping, which is why restaurant supply lines use it.
- What size is it?
- It is 8 inches in diameter with an overall height of about 1-7/8 inches, a small skillet for eggs and single servings.
- Does it work on induction cooktops?
- No. Aluminum is not magnetic, so the pan needs a gas, electric coil or ceramic glass cooktop rather than induction.
- Is it good for high-heat searing?
- Not really. The non-stick coating is best at moderate heat; for hard searing, a bare aluminum or carbon steel pan holds up better.
