Overview
An 8 inch nonstick frying pan with a granite style coating that is PFOA and PFOS free, built on a magnetic stainless steel base so it works on induction as well as gas and electric stovetops.
The extended bottom design mentioned in the listing is meant to spread heat more evenly across the cooking surface, which matters on an 8 inch pan since a small size heats up quickly and can scorch at the edges if the base is uneven. Being induction compatible widens where this pan is useful compared to nonstick pans built only for gas or electric coils.
- 8 inch diameter
- Granite style nonstick, PFOA/PFOS free
- Induction compatible via magnetic stainless steel base
- Cool handle design
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants a small nonstick pan for eggs, omelets, or single servings that also works on induction. Not the pick for anyone cooking larger portions who needs a bigger diameter.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works on induction as well as gas and electric
- PFOA and PFOS free nonstick coating
- Wipes clean with minimal scrubbing
- Cool touch handle
- 8 inch size limits it to small portions
Performance notes
The magnetic stainless steel base is what makes induction compatibility possible on a nonstick pan, since standard aluminum nonstick pans do not respond to induction coils. The granite style nonstick coating is designed to release food with a wipe or rinse rather than scrubbing, and needing less oil follows directly from that same low stick surface.
