Rachael Ray Cucina Crisper Pan

The perforated insert lifts your food off the base of the pan, allowing hot air to circulate underneath and around it. This is essential for achieving a crispy texture on all sides, rather than having the bottom of your food steam or get soggy.

It is best to avoid metal utensils. While the nonstick coating is durable, metal tools can scratch or chip the surface over time. Stick to silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to keep the pan in top condition.

Yes, the silicone grips are designed to provide a secure, comfortable hold when pulling the pan from the oven. However, they are not heat-proof, so you should still use oven mitts or potholders when handling the pan at high temperatures.

While the manufacturer states it is dishwasher safe, hand washing is always the better choice for preserving the life of any nonstick coating. A quick wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge will keep the surface slick and effective for much longer.

This set is oven-safe up to 450°F. This covers most standard roasting and baking tasks, but be sure to check your recipe temperature before putting the pan in the oven.
