Collaborating with professional chefs and Denmark's eco-friendly SCANPAN?, we created the first line of commercial-grade nonstick cookware for everyday cooking. The TechnIQ series combines fresh, modern designs for superior browning, even cooking and ergonomic comfort with SCANPAN's revolutionary Stratanium-Plus? coating - the most durable nonstick finish available. The essential pan features high walls for capturing splatters and a generous surface area, making it ideal for everything from searing and braising to simmering and sauteeing. Pressure cast of recycled aluminum. Extra-thick base is pressure forged, which ensures even heat distribution and eliminates hot spots. Patented Stratanium-Plus nonstick cooking surface will never peel, crack or break down, now 30% more durable than before.
