Transport a taste of Italy to your home kitchen with the Bialetti Impact Textured Nonstick 12" Frying Pan. Inspired by Italian style and design, this nonstick frying pan features a large 12" diameter surface that is ideal for a variety of cooking applications, from searing steaks and chicken to sautéing vegetables and simmering sauces. The Impact cookware collection is made with textured heavy-gauge aluminum that is achieved by blasting the interior of the cookware with metal pellets during the manufacturing process. This Micro-divot textured surface provides professional results by eliminating hotspots and evenly distributing oil so the entire interior of the pan can be covered for better searing. This sauté pan features a Nanotec-infused nonstick coating to offer excellent release, and it is also metal utensil safe so you can cook and serve meals all in one pan. The riveted silicone handle offers a comfortable and secure grip during cooking. This versatile fry pan can be used on both gas and electric stovetops and is oven safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit so you can sauté, sear, simmer, roast, bake, and more with ease.
