This pan comes with a lifetime nonstick guarantee, but it is suggested that you follow a few easy steps to ensure long-term use: immerse the warm pan in water immediately after cooking and hand wash with warm, soapy water; when you're ready to use it again, spread a few drops of oil on it with a paper towel. --Julie McCowan
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.

Scanpan Classic 6.5 Quart Dutch Oven with Lid (Kitchen)
By Scanpan
Review & Description
Part of the Classic Ceramic Titanium line, the stockpot features a pressure-cast aluminum body to ensure even heating without warping. The ceramic titanium compound is super-heated then fired onto the pan's exterior for an extraordinarily hard surface. The interior surface is then coated with a nonstick compound that withstands even metal utensils. The spring-lock handles are completely hygienic and designed to stay cool as you cook. Overall, it's one of the highest quality pieces you can add to your cookeare. For nearly 50 years, Scanpan Denmark has been at the forefront of inventing advanced cookware technology to make life easier both for the hobby chef and the serious cook. Scanpan has been consistently rated "Best Nonstick Cookware" by consumer publications since 1987. Its new, improved cooking surface is now dishwasher-safe.For chefs who prefer nonstick cookware, Scanpan makes an excellent and long-lasting choice. The coating is sturdy enough for use with metal utensils and generally wipes clean with little scrubbing necessary. A steel wool pad is included for cleaning up those stickier dishes, such as caramelized onions--but don't try it on other nonstick coatings! Of medium weight, this 6 1/2-quart dutch oven is excellent for large stews or soups: just brown meats on the stovetop and then pop directly in the oven to finish the job. The makers are confident enough to offer a lifetime warranty on the coating, which is pretty surprising for a nonstick. A thick, flat bottom and heat-resistant handles ensure you'll have no hot spots or burned fingers, making cooking with this Dutch oven a pleasure. --Jill Lightner Read more
