Scanpan CTX Chef's Pan with Lid

While the STRATANIUM coating is highly durable and designed to be more resilient than traditional nonstick, we recommend using silicone or wooden tools to extend the life of the surface and prevent scratching.

The Scanpan CTX is specifically engineered for searing. Its 5-ply construction provides the heat retention needed for browning, and the STRATANIUM surface is designed to handle high heat, allowing you to achieve a professional-quality crust without the food sticking.

The riveted stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, if you are using the pan in the oven, the handles will become hot, so you must use oven mitts when removing it.

Yes, the entire unit, including the tempered glass lid, is oven-safe up to 500°F, allowing you to transition seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven for braising or finishing dishes.

This Chef's Pan is larger and deeper than a standard 10 or 12-inch skillet. Its high, sloped sides make it ideal for recipes that involve liquids, such as braises, curries, or large-batch sautéing, where you need extra volume to prevent splashing.

Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. While machine washing is convenient, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is generally recommended for any high-quality nonstick cookware to maintain the integrity of the coating over the long term.
