best Oven Safe Scanpan Nonstick Frying Pans

Scanpan ctx Nonstick Frying Pan reviews – The advantages

The advantages of scanpan cookware

  • The materials Scanpan uses are fantastic
  • PFOA free nonstick coating
  • No oil needed for cooking
  • The nonstick coating is oven safe to 500f, dishwasher safe and very robust.
  • So many non-stick brands are made with flimsy materials that either dent, crack or scratch. Scanpan uses a mix of aluminum and stainless steel to ensure high-quality and strength. The aluminum is hand cast, so it is made with loads of care.
  • They’ve created their own super tough ceramic Nonstick coating
  • The ceramic coating used on the Scanpan CTX deluxe set is designed and patented by the Scanpan brand. The coating is a mixture of ceramic and titanium which ensures it doesn’t chip, crack, or scratch. This type of layer cannot be found on any other cookware brands.

Use Metal Utensils while you cook

So many non-stick pots and pans are made with a coating that will chip if it is handled roughly. Companies recommend their clients use non-abrasive materials such as wood while you cook, so the coating doesn’t chip. Since Scanpan’s patented coating is made from titanium and ceramic it can stand the beating a metal utensil may sometimes cause.

This set may turn you into a gourmet cook

Since this set is manufactured using some of the greatest materials for cookware, your food may become better than ever. The even heat distribution and tough metals allow you to sear, brown and deglaze food, a feature you’ll never find in other non-stick pans.

Heats evenly throughout

The aluminum and stainless steel cooking surface mix these pieces are designed to help distribute heat evenly throughout your cookware. Low-quality dishes may warm up more in one place than others; your food will burn in one area and be raw in others.

Can be used on all stove tops

If you have a glass top or and induction stove, you may be picky about which cookware sets come into our home. The great thing about this Scanpan set is that you can use it on all stove types, it is also magnetized for guaranteed success on your induction stove.

because titanium is biocompatible it really is a healthy cookware 

Dishwasher safe Cookware?

The general opinion is that you should assume what you have bought is not dishwasher safe, however that is not the case with Scanpan –  you can use this cookware in the dishwasher 

Something to think about when buying Scanpan titanium ceramic cookware

One of the things that you need to be aware is that Scanpan’s amazing products come with a price tag to match. If you are looking for something that is excellent quality and is going to last, then you are in the right place. Read on.

In our research, some people have mentioned that their scanpan cookware becomes discolored after a while. Their unique coating is quite coarse and so there will be some absorption of some of the seasoning and food coloring. You should expect this, but this can be easily sorted out using something like Bonami

You can get this from Amazon when you order your cookware

What to look for when choosing your scanpan

The size of the pan – you are going to be sinking some hard earned cash into this – make sure you are getting the right size – remember it is easier to cook something in cookware that is too big than the other way round. I am just saying.

Color – If you like everything in your kitchen just so and the right color, it is a good idea to make sure it is the right color.

Can you cook the food you are most likely wanting to cook with this cookware?

The durability of the product – This can be quite subjective as people will use their cookware differently, for example, I am quite hard on cookware as I can be a little clumsy at times.  This product is also oven safe so you can use this on the top and in the oven. Lucky there are brands like Scanpan that are way more robust than your average.

Utensils – You can you use your current cooking utensils with the new cookware.

What type of stove do I have and is what I am choosing suitable for it? – I am hoping that this is one of the first things that you would consider but I just thought that I would add it in here at the end just in case you may have forgotten. Scanpan is good for all cooktops except induction.

How to get the best out of your scanpan cookware

While Scanpan cookware is robust and good quality, it is also a little expensive. You will want to make sure you look after it so that you can get the most out of the cookware in terms of cooking pleasure, functionality and time. The better you care for it, the longer it lasts and the more you will get from it.

  • Always read the instruction that comes with the products.
  • Always work within the limits of the cookware
  • If you are unsure about doing something with the cookware – Just don’t!
  • Always use the best cooking utensils you can afford – a no brainer.
  • Don’t use expensive cookware with kids – They can wreck something in the blink of an eye.
  • Never leave things cooking unattended, this is more so with something like steaks where there is not water – you can burn cookware and damage it.
  • Never put your hot pots and pans into cold water – They will warp. A total waste of good cookware your money
  • Keep your cookware clean and use the right products to clean them with – some cleaning product will ruin the surface.

Scanpan CTX Review 8-Inch to 12-3/4-Inch Fry Pan

02/17/2024 09:28 pm GMT

This pan should be your go-to pan for breakfasts as you can do anything from pancakes eggs and bacon with this. The CTX is short for Ceramic Titanium Extreme. The surface is robust and scratch-resistant making this a great choice if you are looking for a workhorse that will last. The pan has a 3ply/5 layer stainless steel aluminum core that makes it tough and extremely efficient when it comes to heat transfer.

Different sizes

  • 8-Inch Fry Pan
  • 9-1/2-Inch Fry Pan
  • 10-1/4-Inch Fry Pan
  • 11-Inch Fry Pan

Features

The ceramic titanium coating is extremely tough and so you can cook with any of the utensils that you already have in the kitchen, although we would advise you that you have good non-scratch ones so that it lasts as long as possible.

Because of the nature of the coating, this is great for browning, searing and deglazing.

The mixed stainless steel and aluminum base will make this a good choice if you have an induction cooktop or if you are thinking of getting one.

Can be used on the stove top or the oven ( safe to 500F)

What we like

  • You can use this on any cooktop including induction
  • Is oven safe up to 500F
  • Easy to clean

  • Made in Denmark

What we don’t like

One of the things that we have noticed with Scanpan is that the way that they honor their warranty is not to everyone’s liking. We have not had to deal with this personally, cannot vouch for either way. We would like to point out two things about nonstick surfaces.

1) They are a coating and will sooner or later wear through, it is the nature of the beast I am afraid.

2) Just because a coating is more robust than normal, you should be applying the same rules to the coating as you would for others. For example, we would never advise washing something like this in the dishwasher even if they say it is dishwasher proof.

While there is nothing that we don’t like about the pan, there are a few things that you should be aware of. While the vast majority of people have only good things to say about the cookware that they have received, there are some that have had issues. It seems that their customer service does not always get it right. Customer service is a tricky thing because they are only ever talked about when things go wrong.

Scanpan CTX 12-3/4-Inch Covered Chef’s Pan Review

The Scanpan CTX 12-3/4-Inch Covered Chef’s Pan has a stainless steel and aluminum ply base for better heat retention and an even spread of heat. This is a bigger pan and is better suited for larger dishes such as stews, curries etc. it comes with a glass lid and two handles.

Although this comes with a price tag it is one of the more stylish and stunning cookware we have seen.

This is suitable for all cooktops including induction cooktops

scratch resistant and heat resistant nonstick coat

What we don’t like about the

For some, the price tag might be too much, especially if you are looking for an everyday workhorse (see some of the ones above to get a better idea for these). We can’t really find fault with it and you will see that the customer reviews on amazon will also back this up

Scanpan Professional Griddle review, 11-Inch by 11-Inch

  • Perfect for pancakes, fried eggs and anything like that

In conclusion

Scanpan is a great brand to go for if you are looking for something that is a more high-end in terms of price. One of the big sellers for us is the durability of these products. Their unique coating means that they are tougher and longer lasting than other nonstick brands out there. We advise that if you have the fund then you should be seriously considering scanpan cookware. Of course, there are other options and we have some more reviews on nonstick cookware here
