Construction
Made from formed aluminum, the Nordic Ware Basalt 8 Inch Sauté Skillet heats efficiently for consistent cooking across the pan. The compact format is especially useful for smaller portions, quick breakfasts, side dishes, and individual meals. As part of the Nordic Ware Basalt Cookware line, it combines practical cookware construction with a basalt-colored exterior and speckled interior.
Nonstick Performance
A Swiss-made 3-layer ceramic nonstick interior coating helps food release easily while supporting low-oil cooking. From delicate eggs and flaky fish to sautéed vegetables and browned chicken, the smooth cooking surface helps reduce sticking during preparation. Easy food release also makes cleanup more convenient after each meal.
Size and Versatility
At 8 inches, this skillet is sized for cooking smaller quantities without taking up unnecessary space on the stovetop. Use it for frying an egg, warming ingredients, sautéing vegetables, preparing a side dish, or making a single-serving meal. Its compact profile also makes it easy to coordinate with larger pans when preparing several dishes at once.
Handle and Stovetop Compatibility
A riveted stainless steel handle offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip and controlled maneuverability while cooking. The handle makes it easy to move the skillet around the stovetop when flipping, stirring, or transferring food. Compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, the skillet fits naturally into a range of kitchen setups.
Oven and Care
The Basalt 8 Inch Sauté Skillet is oven safe up to 400 F, giving you the option to finish dishes in the oven after stovetop preparation. The handle may discolor at temperatures above the oven safe limit, so use caution when transferring from stovetop to oven. To care for the ceramic nonstick surface, use low to medium heat and silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils. Hand wash with warm, soapy water and avoid abrasive cleaners or utensils that may damage the coating.
