This pan consists of a beautiful ceramic layer on the cooking surface, and its main body is made of copper. The coating is free from any PTFE and PFOA. So you can make any meal on it safely but efficiently.
Durability. This pan has coating which make it more reliable and durable as well.This pan can last for several years, without corrosion.
Don’t be fooled, however, by the word “copper”. This isn’t a copper metal pan. Copper only refers to the amazing color of the ceramic coating. And let’s face it, black and orange look amazing together!
Besides its striking look, the copper ceramic coating cooks food evenly without any sticking, making for a great cooking (and cleaning) experience.
The good thing about this nonstick frying pan is that you can use this is multiple cooktops and each skillet resists oxidation and will not tarnish and is 100% dishwasher safe.
We were really impressed with how versatile this pan is. It is oven-safe up to 420 degrees Fahrenheit and is compatible with all cooktops, induction included.
Another thing, the nonstick design eliminates the need for butter and oil, thus making the pan quite healthy. It also comes with a convenient handle making it quite fantastic and easy to handle.
The lid is also clear, given that it is made of tempered glass. For this reason, you will be able to keep an eye on whatever you are preparing.
Having one of these pans will allow you to cook healthy meals since you don’t have to use a lot of oil or butter when cooking.
