Techef Pans: Safe Or Not?

Are TeChef pans safe?

TeChef pans are made from forged heavy-gauge aluminium with a stainless steel bottom, which allows for even heat distribution. The non-stick coating is made without PFOA, PTFE, PFAS, cadmium, or lead, and is therefore affirmed as safe for cooking by regulatory agencies worldwide, including the European Food Safety Authority, French Food Safety Agency (ANSES), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The pans are also dishwasher-safe and oven-safe, with the oven-safe temperature depending on the specific model.

Are Techef pans safe for induction cooktops?

Induction cooktops use electromagnetic induction to heat pans, bypassing the cooktop completely. This means that only certain types of pans will work on an induction cooktop. The pans must be ferrous, meaning they contain enough iron to be magnetic. This allows a magnetic field to be created between the pot and the magnetic coils beneath the cooking surface, generating heat.

Techef pans are made from forged heavy-gauge aluminum with a stainless steel base. This means that they are compatible with induction cooktops, as they are magnetic. Techef pans are also compatible with other stove types, including gas, electric, and ceramic.

To test whether a pan is compatible with an induction cooktop, you can simply hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan will work on an induction cooktop.

Techef pans are therefore safe to use on induction cooktops, as well as other types of stoves.

The Art Pan Collection, CeraTerra Collection, and Onyx Collection are all dishwasher-safe. The Art Pan Collection is also oven-safe up to 350ºF. The CeraTerra Collection is oven-safe up to 450ºF. The Onyx Collection is oven-safe, but the exact temperature is not specified.

The Art Pan collection features a forged heavy-gauge aluminum construction, which distributes heat evenly and prevents hot spots. The pans also feature an extra-tall, sloped sidewall, which provides a larger cooking surface and makes tossing food easier. The CeraTerra collection features a similar heavy-gauge aluminum construction, which also distributes heat evenly. The CeraTerra collection also features a stainless steel handle and rivets, which remain cool on the stovetop.

The Color Pan collection features a unique forging technology, which allows for an extra heavy-gauge aluminum base and thin wall construction. The pans are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip and convenient handling.
