Frying Pan Skillet - KitchenAid - Black

Yes, the KitchenAid Classic Forged Aluminium Frying Pan is designed to work on all heat surfaces, including induction.

PFAS-free means the ceramic non-stick coating does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals often found in traditional non-stick coatings. This offers a potentially healthier cooking surface.

The pan comes with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty specifically on the non-stick coating. Longevity also depends on proper care, including using appropriate utensils and avoiding abrasive cleaning methods.

It is not recommended to use metal utensils, as they can scratch and damage the ceramic non-stick coating. Opt for silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils.

The pan is oven safe up to 160°C (320°F).

While the pan is designed to be dishwasher safe, the harsh detergents and high heat in dishwashers can degrade the non-stick coating over time. Hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is the best way to maintain the coating's performance and extend the pan's lifespan.

This particular frying pan has a diameter of 30 cm.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or fat. If the non-stick coating is older, it may be degrading; consider hand washing and avoiding abrasive cleaning.

Verify that the pan is placed centrally on the heat source and that the heat level is appropriate for the cooking task. The forged base should provide even heating, so ensure the heat source itself is functioning correctly.

The handle is securely attached during manufacturing. If it feels loose, do not use the pan and contact customer support.

Inspect the coating for scratches or peeling. If damage is present, discontinue use to avoid consuming coating particles. Refer to the warranty information for replacement.
