We collaborated with professional chefs and the designers of Denmark's eco-friendly Scanpan to create the first line of commercial-grade nonstick cookware for everyday cooking. Our Scanpan TechnIQ series combines fresh, modern designs for better browning, more even cooking and ergonomic comfort with Scanpan's revolutionary Stratanium-Plus coating - the most durable nonstick finish available. Our saucepan is the perfect size for preparing oatmeal, side dishes, vegetables and grains with no scorching or sticking. Pressure cast of recycled aluminum. Extra-thick base is pressure forged, which ensures even heat distribution and eliminates hot spots. Tempered-glass lid is fitted with stainless-steel rim and handle. Patented Stratanium-Plus nonstick cooking surface will never peel, crack or break down, now 30% more durable than before. Textured surface sears, braises and deglazes with minimal cleanup. Ideal for low-fat cooking using minimal oil. Can be used with metal utensils. Dishwasher s
