Overview
Not a gas-only pan, the L56 is a flat hard anodized aluminum griddle that the listing rates for both gas and electric coil. It is sold for cooking, sauteing and frying, and it carries a nonstick surface.
Two compatible cooktops make it more flexible than many tavas. The anodized aluminum is thick and wear resistant. The temperature rating is low, so high-heat tasks are better left to other cookware.
Who it's for
Households with a gas or electric coil stove who fry and saute daily will use the flat surface. Anyone who wants high-heat searing, or who has induction, should look at pans with higher ratings or induction approval.
Pros and cons
- Works on gas and electric coil
- Thick hard anodized aluminum
- Five year warranty
- Low maximum temperature rating
- Handle material differs between title and specs
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
Hard-anodized aluminum spreads heat quickly and resists scratching, so the pan heats evenly on a coil or a gas ring. The temperature rating caps how hot the nonstick surface should go, which makes moderate frying the intended use.
