KITCHEN COOKWARE GRIDDLE: Cuisinart stainless steel 12” round griddle is made with professional stainless steel construction, polished exterior finish, and aluminum-encapsulated base for even heating. PURELYSEAR CERAMIC NONSTICK TECHNOLOGY: Stainless steel griddle features an exclusive PFAS-free* PURELYSEAR surface to uniquely preserve your ceramic nonstick performance while also providing the perfect frying, browning, and searing power while cooking. ARMORGUARD INTERIOR: Stainless steel peaks form a shield around the ceramic nonstick interior, creating a highly durable, scratch-resistant cooking surface that’s metal-utensil safe and built to last. COOL GRIP HANDLES: Cast stainless steel Cool Grip stick handles with V-flange design help dissipate heat away from the handle and keep it concentrated in the pan itself for stick handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop. DISHWASHER & OVEN SAFE: Easy to clean and conveniently dishwasher safe, this stainless steel griddle is also oven safe up to 500°F (lids 450°F) and compatible with all stovetops, including induction. PREHEAT FOR BEST RESULTS: Before cooking, heat the pan for about 2 minutes over medium low heat. A properly heated pan improves searing, prevents sticking, and preserves the nonstick surface. Once preheated, add oil or butter and warm before adding food.
