This Cooks Standard Nonstick Frying Pan has a hard anodized surface that is durable, thick, and harder than stainless steel. The heavy-gauge aluminum core distributes heat quickly and evenly and prevents hot spots. Nonstick coating delivers exceptional performance, makes food release and cleaning easy, and allows for healthier cooking. The long stainless steel handle stays cool and comfortable and is riveted for strength. Flat and wide bottom for a large cooking surface and multipurpose use. Sloped sides allow for tossing or holding more food and allow for pouring or sliding items out. Works on gas, electric, glass, ceramic, halogen, etc. The oven is safe to 500F. Not induction-compatible. Hand washing is recommended.
