OXO Ceramic Professional Frying Pan - Black - 20cm

Yes, the OXO Ceramic Professional Frying Pan features a PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating, designed for safe and healthy cooking.

This frying pan is compatible with gas, electric, and induction cooktops.

Yes, the stainless steel handle is oven-safe up to 200°C (400°F), allowing you to transfer dishes from stovetop to oven.

The pan is dishwasher safe. For handwashing, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

It is recommended to use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to protect the non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils.

The surface is diamond-reinforced for enhanced durability and scratch resistance. However, to maximize its lifespan, it's best to avoid harsh scrubbing and metal utensils.

PFAS-free means the non-stick coating does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals that some consumers prefer to avoid in cookware.

Ensure the pan is adequately preheated before adding food. Use a small amount of cooking oil or butter. Check that metal utensils are not being used, as they can damage the coating. If the issue persists after extended use, the non-stick properties may have diminished, and cleaning thoroughly might help.

Confirm the pan is centered on the heat source. Ensure the heat source (especially induction) is compatible with the pan's diameter. Hard-anodised aluminium provides even heating, so persistent unevenness might indicate an issue with the stovetop itself.

Check if the rivets securing the handle have become loose. While typically robust, if significant looseness occurs, it may require professional assessment. For minor issues, consult the manufacturer's warranty information.

Discoloration can occur from overheating or mineral deposits from cooking water. Try cleaning the pan with a paste of baking soda and water, or a specialized ceramic cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Ensure you are not exceeding recommended cooking temperatures.
