9.5in Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan - Ceramic Nonstick

In this review of the 9.5in Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan, the bottom line is simple: this skillet is best for home cooks who want reliable nonstick performance without toxic coatings. The pan combines a US-made ceramic nonstick layer that is PFAS, PFOA and PTFE free with a tri-ply stainless construction for even heat. It stands out when making eggs, pancakes or searing proteins on lower heat, and the stay-cool ergonomic handle and polished exterior make everyday use and cleanup straightforward.

Key Features

• Ceramic nonstick coating: A US-made, SGS approved ceramic surface reduces the need for oil and helps food release cleanly for healthier cooking and less smoke.
• Tri-ply construction: Aluminum core between stainless steel layers promotes quick, even heating so food browns consistently across the 9.5in cooking surface.
• Stay-cool ergonomic handle: A hollow, double-riveted stainless handle stays cooler on the stovetop and provides a secure grip during handling.
• Oven and dishwasher safe: The skillet tolerates oven use and can be cleaned in the dishwasher, though gentle hand washing is recommended to preserve the coating.
• All-cooktop compatibility: A magnetized stainless base works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops for flexible kitchen use.

Who It's For

The pan is well suited to home cooks who want a versatile everyday skillet for tasks like frying eggs, sauteing vegetables and quick pan-searing where a dependable nonstick surface saves time and oil. Its induction-ready base and durable tri-ply body make it a good upgrade for families or anyone replacing a worn nonstick pan.

Less suitable users include high-heat professional cooks who frequently use very high temperatures and metal utensils; while the stainless body handles heat, the ceramic coating performs best with moderate heat and careful utensil use to maintain longevity.
