Super Pan 2's coating
The Super Pan 2 is coated with Steel Coat x3, a non-stick coating that provides better food release and faster cleaning. The coating is stain-resistant, but the pan is not suitable for use with metal utensils.
The Super Pan 2's coating is designed to bring longer life, better food release, faster cleaning, and lower replacement costs. The non-stick coating ensures that food slides right off, eliminating the need to season the pan or spray it with oil or butter.
The Super Pan 2's coating is also PFOA-free, meaning it is free of perfluorooctanoic acid, a chemical used in some non-stick coatings that has raised health concerns. The coating is safe for temperatures ranging from -20°F to 450°F, making it suitable for cooking, serving, and displaying food in the same pan.
The Super Pan 2's coating is applied to a 22-gauge 300-series stainless steel pan, which is known for its durability and long-lasting qualities. The combination of the steel coat x3 non-stick coating and the stainless steel pan provides exceptional strength and impressive non-stick performance.

Super Pan 2's handles
The Super Pan II Cook-Chill Full Size S/S Cover w/o Handles is made of 18-8 stainless steel. It does not come with handles.
When it comes to handles, it is important to consider whether they are oven-proof. Materials such as wood and plastic are often used to insulate pan handles to prevent burns but these materials are not usually oven-safe. Plastic melts at high temperatures and wood is flammable.
Better alternatives to plastic handles are silicone and rubber handles. Silicone handles can withstand temperatures of up to 330°F to 475°F and rubber handles are usually oven-safe, even if the colour changes slightly. Metal and cast iron handles are also safe to put in the oven as they can tolerate temperatures of up to 500°F. However, it is always recommended to wear oven mitts when handling metal or cast iron handles that have been in the oven as they will get very hot.

Super Pan 2's lids
Super Pan 2s lids are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, cast iron, glass, and silicone. When selecting a lid for your Super Pan 2, it is important to consider the compatibility, heat resistance, and ease of cleaning.
Compatibility is a crucial factor, as you want to ensure that the lid fits securely on your Super Pan 2. Some lids are designed to fit a range of pan sizes, usually specified in inches, while others are tailored to specific pan dimensions. If you opt for a universal lid, pay close attention to the size range it accommodates to ensure it will fit your Super Pan 2.
Heat resistance is another essential consideration, especially if you plan to use your Super Pan 2 in the oven. Lids made of stainless steel or cast iron often have higher heat tolerance and can withstand oven temperatures. Glass lids typically have a maximum temperature limit, so be sure to check the product specifications before placing them in the oven. Silicone lids, while heat resistant, may have lower temperature thresholds, so always refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
Ease of cleaning is also worth considering. Silicone lids are generally dishwasher-safe and easy to maintain, making them a convenient option. Glass lids may require a bit more care, but they offer the advantage of allowing you to view your food while cooking.
When choosing a lid for your Super Pan 2, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and product specifications to ensure compatibility and safe usage.
