What is Hybrid cookware?
Hybrid cookware is designed to feature all the positives of cast iron, stainless steel and nonstick pans with none of the negatives. Like cast iron, it’s sturdy, resilient and retains a tremendous amount of heat. Like stainless steel, it distributes heat evenly across the pan’s surface and is not reactive. And, like nonstick pans, it’s, well, nonstick.
Skillet Features
Hybrid patented design relies on a laser-etching process to create a hexagonal pattern on the bottom of a stainless-steel pan. It features a high-grade nonstick coating that’s infused with diamond dust (!!!) for extra strength. The steel hexagons allow the heat to diffuse across the pan evenly, while the PFOA-free nonstick coating prevents foods from sticking.
Because of its magnetic steel base, the Hybrid Pan rapidly conducts heat and is suitable for induction cooktops. Also, it is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Hybrid cookware is sturdy enough to last a lifetime, and as such, the company backs up its cookware with a lifetime warranty.
FAQ
Is the cookware dishwasher-safe?
All pan are dishwasher-safe but is so easy to clean by hand that you might not want to bother! The scratch-resistant surface is safe for use with abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and steel wool. Although odds are, all you’ll need to clean up most messes is a soapy sponge and running water.
Is the cookware heavy?
The cookware is somewhat heavy, but its ergonomic handles make it much easier to lift and maneuver than cast-iron cookware. The 12-inch Hybrid pan is just over three pounds.
