In designing our nonstick pan, our goal was simple: source its materials thoughtfully and build it to last. The result? The Coated Pan - our best in class, longest-lasting nonstick pan. Learn about how we designed it below.
The Material
All of our pans have a copper core, which is famed for its mastery of heat. Copper is highly conductive of heat so it warms up quickly and distributes heat evenly—which means no more hot spots, and no more weird pancakes that are black on one end and lily white on the other. (That’s why we named our cookware The 29 Collection: copper is the 29th element.)
Pure copper cookware is beautiful, but requires heavy maintenance as it is reactive to acids and oxidizes over time. We surrounded our copper core with four layers of aluminum and stainless steel, so you can have the benefits of copper without the upkeep. Thanks to that copper core, you can get a good sear in our nonstick pan, and get crisp-skinned fish that slides off easily. Plus, it can safely go into the oven and the dishwasher.
