Trusted Brand

Designed for long-lasting care and your everyday cooking needs from a brand our cooking expert trusts.

Cool grip handles are heat-resistant and provide a reliable grasp. The sturdy hard-anodized material is stronger than stainless steel and non-porous for easy cleanup. Size allows for larger portions, and the nonstick bottom is reinforced with titanium for a longer lifespan. Can withstand up to 500 degrees F.

Nonstick wears off after frequent use. Pan will scratch easily if not properly cared for.

An excellent choice for minimalist or smaller kitchens that we found in trials to handle a multitude of tasks.

The ceramic design allows it to handle high oven heat. Has a deeper inset bottom than most pans, which allows for steaming and boiling. Despite the 10-in-1 functionality, it was surprisingly lightweight. We really love how good the colors looked in person during our testing period. The nonstick coating worked really well even after using it quite a bit.
