Futura Nonstick Deep-Fry Pans are distinguished by elegant, comfortable rosewood handles fixed on sturdy stainless steel brackets which are permanently riveted to the pans. The long handles are carefully designed to provide greater comfort and safety, particularly when handling heavy loads or hot oil. The cooking surface is made of PFOA-free with a unique patented process by which high quality nonstick coating (made in Germany) is locked firmly into the tough Hard Anodised surface underneath. Therefore, the nonstick, if used properly, would last longer than the ordinary nonstick. The pans have curved sides suitable for deep-frying and stir-frying. They are offered with a Flat Bottom for greater stability on gas and for use on cooktops with a flat surface such as induction, electric, ceramic and halogen. The Lid is made of AISI 304, 18/8 food grade Stainless Steel that is extremely hygienic, durable and non-reactive to most foods. It has a comfortable, stay-cool Rosewood knob.
