Product Description:
Scanpan Classic is based on a pressure cast aluminum core. Aluminum, short of gold, silver, platinum and copper, is simply the best heat conductor when it comes to pots and pans. 200 tons of pressure force Scanpan Classic into its shape and squeeze out any air inclusions and other impurities. The result is a solid pan base with optimum thickness, allowing for fast and even heating and for superior heat retention. Its perfectly flat base makes Scanpan Classic suitable for gas, electric and all glass, ceramic and halogen ranges. Scanpan Classic is guaranteed not to warp. Continuous research results in ongoing product enhancements and up-to-date production processes. Scanpan Classic represents the latest in nonstick surface technology, offering perfect food release without the use of fats, oils or other seasoning. Scanpan Classic is safe to use with metal utensils and is guaranteed not to peel, blister or crack. It can be cleaned in the dishwasher or, actually more quickly and easily, by hand. The 11 Inch Saute with Glass Lid is perfect for frying, sweating, braising or stewing.

Amazon.com Review:
Turn out a perfect omelet or fried egg with this Scanpan Classic 8-inch fry pan. Made in Denmark of pressure-cast aluminum, the heavy-gauge pan features low sides, perfect for sliding out eggs, and a ceramic-titanium nonstick finish that is safe for use with metal utensils. The high-density phenolic resin handle is securely attached without rivets to facilitate stirring and cleaning, and is guaranteed not to come loose. Should you wish to bake a German apple pancake, the fry pan is oven-safe to 500 degrees F. While dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the nonstick finish.

In response to environmental concerns regarding nonstick finishes, Scanpan in 2007 introduced its Green Tek nonstick technology. Working with its suppliers, Scanpan is the first cookware company to completely eliminate the use of the harmful chemical PFOA from the entire process used to make its nonstick compound. The new PFOA-free nonstick finish is now found on all Scanpan Classic and Professional cookware. Scanpan covers its cast-aluminum cookware with a full lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

From the Manufacturer

About Green Tek Nonstick Technology:

In the more recent past, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken the leading manufacturer of nonstick compounds to task over excessive emissions of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid). PFOA has been used as a catalyst in the production of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), the basic building block for all nonstick cookware surfaces.

PFOA is a chemical that is hard to break down in the environment. It has a half life of 3.8 years, meaning that if there are 4 grams of PFOA in the body today, the body will have 2 grams in it in four years from now, 1 gram in eight years from now and so on. The human metabolism does not remove PFOA. While it is not a carcinogen or toxin and is generally assumed inert and not harmful to your health, it is environmentally unfriendly and just sticks around forever. That is why the EPA and the leading nonstick manufacturer have agreed that by 2010, the amount of PFOA used to produce PTFE compounds need to be cut by 95%, and by 2015 no PFOA could be used, at all.

Towards the end of this process, PFOA is completely extracted via ionization filters. Even if any traces of PFOA were still present by the time the nonstick compound reached the cookware factory, the pan surface curing temperatures would destroy such remnants. The same is true for the old nonstick compound used for Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional. That's why Scanpan has always been able to present the finished product as not containing PFOA.

Why is Scanpan Environmentally Friendly?

Scanpan cookware has always been PFOA free, but the negative publicity that PFOA and, by extension, PTFE had received over the last few years, had caused Scanpan to work closely with their suppliers to find a substitute for PFOA that is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Scanpan received patents on PFOA-free technology in 2007 and has been producing Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional with this new process since spring 2007. With their new Green Tek technology, there is no PFOA used at any stage of the entire process, resulting in a "clean and green" nonstick PTFE compound, the production of which no longer uses chemicals that could have a negative impact on the environment.

The performance of the Scanpan Green Tek surface is not different in any way from the performance of Scanpan's previous surface. And Scanpan continues to incorporate their patented ceramic-titanium technology. Scanpan is safe to use with metal utensils and each piece comes with a lifetime warranty.

Taking Care of Scanpan Classic Cookware:

1. Before first use, remove all packing materials, labels and tags and wash pan in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Assemble the glass cover handle, if applicable, following the instructions on the poly bag that holds all handle parts. Tighten by hand, only, do not use tools. Make sure the small washer that goes on the underside of the glass cover is flush with the glass surface. If not, turn the washer around and re-assemble the handle.
2. Heat pan to working temperature. Medium heat is typically sufficient for frying and sauteing. Since each stove top has its own settings, find the best heat setting for your stove by starting at a lower setting, then gradually increase until water splashed on the pan surface evaporates immediately with a sizzle. High heat can be used for other applications, like boiling water, stir frying, oven roasting etc. Scanpan Classic Cookware is oven safe to 500 degrees F.
3. Scanpan Classic can be used without oil, butter, or other seasonings, making it especially suitable for low fat diets.
4. After use, remove food and clean Scanpan Classic with warm, soapy water. Scanpan Classic wipes clean with a sponge. Scanpan Classic is dishwasher safe, however, Scanpan recommends using extra care if you decide to clean the pans in the dishwasher to prevent damage to plates, glassware, etc.
5. When storing Scanpan Classic Cookware and "nesting" (placing smaller pots inside larger pots) is required due to space limitations, Scanpan recommends placing a paper or cloth towel between the pots and pans to prevent scuff marks. Glass covers should ideally be stored upright. If that is not practical, Scanpan recommends using towels or other suitable material to wrap the covers and to prevent them from chipping or breaking.

- Best Pan Ever
I have had many pots and pans before but I am quite pleased with this ScanPan fry pan. It truly is non-stick and clean up is a breeze. I have since ordered the 8 inch pan. Also, the handle on the classic model is very good.

- Was I the last to find out about Scanpan?!?
SCANPAN IS THE BEST NONSTICK PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED.

I recently researched and purchased my first Scanpan. Happy Birthday to me! Why haven't I heard of these before? My first use, I made two batches of crepes, one savory, the other chocolate. They were both perfect, tasty, and flawlessly non-stick. I used the savory crepes in a lasagna recipe instead of noodles. Lovely and light lasagna! Better than a dream...

I made crackers out of lowfat grated cheddar cheese, no stick, no burn, just that great crusty-cheese (no-carb!) taste. Since I tend to cook many types ... Read More

- Meets expectation
After the first few uses the pan seems to be "as advertised". Time will tell as other pans have lost their non-stick quality a little prematurely.

- Fantastic pans
These pans are fantastic, well worth every penny.

They have great heat distribution and the non-stick surface is easy to clean. You can even put them in the oven to finish off that omelet you're making. The handle doesn't get hot and is easy to hold on to.

In short: highly recommended.

- Underwhelmed
After extensive research before our wedding we decided to register for Scanpan products to fill out our cookware. Just over three years later the three pieces we use almost daily are all failing. Two fry pans and a saucepan all have extensive bubbling or breaks in the nonstick. Particularly irritating is the saucepan - we frequently put a steamer basket in it for vegetables and the stainless legs (with rounded, polished feet) appear to have worn a circle in the nonstick. This was evident at a year ago or earlier. Frankly not worth the premium price. When we replace them we'll probably go with ... Read More
