All-Clad HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick 8 10-Inch Fry Pan Cookware Set, 2-Piece
This duo from All-Clad comes with two frying pans, an 8-inch, and a 10-inch. They have a sturdy hard-anodized structure which gathers and holds heat evenly and quickly.
The bottoms of these pans are bonded with stainless steel. This is to make them compatible with induction cooktops and to prevent them from warping. It’s also great for glass top stoves as it creates a gentle, non-scratch surface. The flat, non-warp bottoms sit firmly and evenly on glass stoves, creating an even and thorough heat distribution.
