Almond 12" Ceramic Frying Pan with Lid

Twelve inches with a lid, which quietly turns a frying pan into a braiser.

Large pans almost always get sold bare, and the lid you buy separately never quite fits. This one arrives matched, so the same pan handles searing, sautéing, steaming broccoli and finishing something covered — without a second trip to the shop.

Why this one

• Twelve inches means food browns. Crowd a pan and everything steams in its own moisture. There's room here for a family portion to actually make contact with the metal.
• Ceramic coating, no PTFE or PFOA. Releases without oil and contains no fluorinated compounds.
• Three layers of copper, ceramic and aluminium, which conducts heat noticeably better than a plain aluminium skillet.
• The handle is riveted through, not screwed on — that join is the first thing to fail on a cheap pan.
• The lid is tempered glass, so you can watch without lifting, and it's oven safe to 420F alongside the pan.

The details

• 12 inches with tempered glass lid
• Three-layer copper ceramic over aluminium
• Oven safe to 420F, dishwasher safe

Looking after it

Dishwasher safe, though hand washing will extend the life of any ceramic surface. Keep the heat moderate.
