The Nordic Ware 21226 Cookware Pro Cast Aluminum 12 in. Saute Skillet is a masterful pan. Versatile and charming, the deep sides give this saute pan more capacity than others of its circumference. You'll be amazed at how well the cast aluminum distributes the heat and cooks your food evenly, every time. Heavy duty and oven-safe up to 400 degrees F, the pan also has an insulated handle. The nonstick surface is of premium quality and embossed right into the aluminum of the pan so it won't scratch or fade away. A special design feature of this pan is the dimpled air cushion bottom that allows for more circulation of the heat and gives you a more controlled cooking experience.
