Scanpan (short for Scandinavian Pan) has been a leader in the cookware market for a hot minute, 77 years worth of hot minutes, to be exact. They have been researching how to make better nonstick cookware since they started. And for all my nonstick enthusiasts out there, you know that not every nonstick pan is created equal.

This Danish company means serious business. Fun fact for you: each product passes through the hands of eight skilled artisans before it leaves the factory. So, you know you’re getting a quality product. Before we get into the top Scanpan cookware, let’s dive into the background of the brand and a few incredible features of their products as a whole.

All About Scanpan

You might be wondering how Scanpan manages to produce such outstanding kitchen tools. It's all in the details. They have a long-standing reputation for producing top-of-the-line nonstick cookware, and their products consistently receive the highest ratings in recent impartial standard tests. How do they achieve such impressive results? Let's dive into the world of Scanpan's technology development.

Scanpan's Stratanium Technology

Scanpan's Stratanium PFOA and PFOS-free nonstick coating is a game-changer. Stratanium includes five layers of aluminum, making it 10 times harder than stainless steel (which means that your metal utensils won’t cause scratches and will last for a long time). This technology involves a patented textured surface that not only improves the results of your cooking but also ensures it’ll last forever. And if you're wondering if Scanpan pans are oven-safe, all of their products are oven-safe up to 500°F. Scanpan's Stratanium nonstick coating sets the brand apart as a leader in nonstick cookware technology.

Attention to Detail

The handles of a Scanpan cookware piece are stainless steel, securely attached with rivets, and remain cool on the stovetop. The attention to detail ensures that your cookware is not only comfortable to use but also built to last.

Induction compatibility is a hallmark of Scanpan cookware. Many of their products are designed to work with induction cooking, offering flexibility to a wide range of home chefs and food enthusiasts.

So, whether you're a skilled chef or a beginner cook, whether you're whipping up eggs for breakfast or crafting elaborate meals for your loved ones, Scanpan cookware has the versatility and performance to meet your needs. It's a brand that values not only the art of cooking but also the science behind it.

Scanpan's Lifetime Warranty

Yep, you heard that right. Every Scanpan product comes with a limited lifetime warranty. When you buy Scanpan cookware, you're not just adding exceptional kitchen companions to your collection; you're investing in your culinary future with a guarantee that stands the test of time. Your total savings over time will be huge!

So, how long is a lifetime? In Scanpan's case, it's a lasting commitment. The lifetime warranty lasts for as long as you own the product, and it's also transferable. This means that if you pass your cherished Scanpan cookware to the next generation of home chefs, the warranty goes with it. It's a legacy of quality.

The best part? You don't need to fill out complicated forms or jump through hoops to activate your warranty. Not even a first name or last name. Simply purchase your Scanpan cookware from an authorized retailer like Curated. This ensures that your product is a genuine Scanpan.
