Pan Size12.5 inches
Material BaseCast aluminum with magnetic stainless-steel base

The SENSARTE 12.5-inch nonstick skillet is a budget-friendly everyday frying pan with a Swiss granite (PTFE) nonstick coating and cast-aluminum body. It features a high magnetic stainless-steel base for induction compatibility and even heat distribution, a bakelite woodgrain handle, and is oven-safe to 302°F. Dishwasher-safe and PFOA-free.

Who it's for: Cost-conscious home cooks seeking a reliable, easy-to-clean nonstick pan for everyday frying, sautéing, and light cooking. Best suited for low-to-medium heat tasks; the modest oven limit and potential coating wear over time (common to budget PTFE pans) mean it's not a multi-year investment piece.
