OXO Hybrid nonstick stainless steel frying pan 12" — tri-ply, diamond-infused ceramic, induction & oven safe

OXO Hybrid 12" Nonstick Stainless Steel Frying Pan is a tri-ply skillet with diamond-infused PFAS-free ceramic nonstick and Fusion Boost Technology for powerful searing and easy release.

Combining stainless steel’s heat control with a reinforced ceramic nonstick surface, this 12-inch frypan is built to sear, brown, and release without the maintenance or worry of traditional coatings. The pan uses a raised etched stainless pattern plus a non-stick boost layer to concentrate heat and promote even oil distribution, while a tri-ply body (stainless-aluminum-stainless) provides fast, consistent heating and precise temperature response. Designed for busy home cooks and avid entertainers, it’s compatible with all cooktops — including induction — and is oven safe to 850°F.

How does this pan achieve both searing power and nonstick release?

The Hybrid pan pairs a diamond-infused ceramic nonstick layer with a raised stainless steel etched pattern that focuses heat at the contact points. This arrangement gives you the Maillard reaction you want for browning while still offering the easy food release of a nonstick surface.

• Fusion Boost Technology: combines three layers to concentrate heat.
• Raised etched pattern: distributes oil and intensifies direct heat.
• Diamond reinforcement: improves durability and release performance.
• Non-stick boost layer: resists sticking and simplifies cleanup.

Will this frypan work on my cooktop and in the oven?

Yes — the 12" Hybrid frypan is engineered for universal compatibility and high-heat finishing. Its tri-ply stainless steel construction with an aluminum core heats evenly on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction ranges, and the handle and materials tolerate oven temperatures up to 850°F.

• Induction compatible: magnetic stainless exterior works with induction cooktops.
• Oven safe to 850°F: great for searing on stovetop then finishing in the oven.
• Sturdy stainless handle: contoured for a secure grip and stovetop-to-oven transfer.
• Drip-free pouring rim: makes transferring sauces and liquids neater.

How durable is the nonstick surface and can I use metal utensils?

The surface is reinforced with diamond particles and a non-stick boost layer to resist wear from regular use. OXO rates the Hybrid finish as 10x more metal utensil safe compared with typical nonstick pans, so it stands up well to everyday cooking and agitation from metal tools.

• Diamond-infused ceramic: long-lasting release and abrasion resistance.
• 10x metal utensil safe: improved scratch resistance under normal use.
• Dishwasher safe: wipe or run through the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
• Reinforced boost layer: adds resilience and smoothness for release.

What size and cooking tasks is the 12-inch frypan best for?

The 12" diameter gives ample surface area for family meals, multi-serving sautés, or searing large cuts of meat. It’s ideal when you need space for browning and tossing without overcrowding, and the pan’s even heat distribution helps maintain consistent results across the whole surface.

• Large capacity: fits multiple servings, vegetables, or full skillets.
• Even heating: aluminum core spreads heat for uniform browning.
• Versatile use: sear, sauté, pan-fry, and finish in the oven.
• Easy pouring: drip-free rim for neat transfers and sauce work.

Who is this for: Home cooks who want stainless-steel performance without the sticking, entertainers who need a reliable, large skillet for batch cooking, and anyone using induction or high-heat finishes. If you value controlled searing, low-effort cleanup, and a durable surface that stands up to regular metal utensils, the OXO Hybrid 12" frypan is a practical, long-lasting addition to a busy kitchen.
