Featuring ETERNA — a safe and durable non-stick coating developed in the USA, the Stainless Steel Earth Pan by Ozeri is the world’s first stainless steel frying pan to achieve non-stick perfection without using PFOA or APEO — harmful chemicals often found in traditional cookware. Conventional pans achieve their non-stick performance with the aid of PFOA (PerFluoro Octanoic Acid), a potential carcinogen which the EPA has classified as a ‘persistent pollutant of the environment’, and APEO (Alkyl phenol ethylates), which are under restricted use in Germany due to environmental concerns about their poor biodegradability and toxicity in the food chain. According to the EPA, once ingested, PFOA is capable of remaining in people for a very long time, and has been shown to cause developmental and other adverse effects in laboratory animals. Likewise, European studies have shown that APEO may be toxic to aquatic life, and has the potential to act as endocrine disrupters. With the Stainless Steel Earth Pan’s ETERNA coating, even under high temperatures, no controversial per fluorinated chemicals are ever released into the environment. This is because the Stainless Steel Earth Pan utilizes a safer non-stick coating that is completely free of PFOA, and far more durable and scratch-resistant than other non-stick surfaces. With better non-stick properties, the Stainless Steel Earth Pan Earth Pan allows you to saute, fry, bake, boil and braise with as little as half the amount of oil normally used, and cleaning is a breeze. The Stainless Steel Earth Pan by Ozeri is made of the highest quality 18/8 stainless steel with Triply construction, delivering the ultimate in heat conductivity for even cooking and browning without hot spots. It boasts a magnetized bottom for rapid heat transfer on induction stoves, and a polished mirror exterior. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. ETERNA coating made by Whitford USA.

Very “non-stick,” but scratches very easily! We really like this pan, however it seems to scratch VERY easily and we have only had it a little over two months! We have taken excellent care of this pan since new, use only silicone utensils (nothing metal), don’t wash it until it cools and always store it with the Ozeri cushion over the cooking surface. With the excellent care that we’ve given this pan, we can’t explain all of the scratches and find that very frustrating! It’s definitely non-stick, but now we’re wondering how long it…
Fell in love with it – beautifully balanced and super slippery surface … Purchased the 10″ in December 2013. Fell in love with it – beautifully balanced and super slippery surface made it fun to cook with. It became my go-to pan for general purpose cooking and now permanently resides on my stove-top. The pan is designed with a flat heat distribution plate on the bottom only. This makes it lighter and better balanced than pans that carry the heat distribution layer all the way up the sides. Unless you like to cook with a high gas flame that laps up the sides of…
