OXO Professional 12" Frying Pan — Hard-Anodized Ceramic Nonstick, Diamond-Reinforced, Induction-Ready

The OXO Professional 12" Frying Pan is a hard-anodized, diamond-reinforced ceramic nonstick skillet that gives more usable cooking surface, fast even heat, and a PFAS-free release for everyday stovetop and oven use.

Built to bridge home and pro kitchens, this 12-inch skillet combines a durable hard-anodized aluminum shell with a ceramic nonstick layer strengthened by diamond particles. The result is easier food release with less oil, quicker heating and a body resistant to scratching. It’s engineered for modern ranges—featuring a heavy-duty induction-ready base—while remaining oven and dishwasher friendly for convenient cleanup and versatile cooking.

How does this pan improve cooking performance?

The hard-anodized aluminum construction conducts heat rapidly and evenly, reducing hot spots so food browns more consistently. The diamond-reinforced ceramic coating improves surface hardness, helping delicate foods slide away without sticking.

• Hard-anodized body for faster, uniform heating
• Diamond particles increase coating durability and release
• Streamlined rivets create a smooth interior for effortless stirring
• Induction-capable heavy-duty base for all cooktops

Is the nonstick coating safe and easy to clean?

The ceramic nonstick finish is formulated without PFAS, PFOA, lead or cadmium, and it promotes low-oil cooking and simpler cleanup. While it stands up to everyday use, gentle utensils and routine care extend the life of the coating.

• PFAS-, PFOA-, lead- and cadmium-free ceramic surface
• Dishwasher safe for quick cleanup (handwashing recommended for longest life)
• Scratch-resistant reinforced layer tolerates regular home use

What versatility does the pan offer for different recipes?

The skillet’s generous 12-inch footprint and unique shape provide up to 35% more usable cooking area, making it suitable for everything from sautéing vegetables to searing proteins. Oven-safe construction lets you finish dishes under high heat, while the induction base lets you use it on any stovetop.

• Up to 35% more room to cook than standard pans of similar footprint
• Oven safe to 600°F (315°C) for broiling or finishing sauces
• Works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic cooktops
• Comfortable stainless steel handle stays secure when moving between stovetop and oven

How should I care for the OXO Professional 12" Frying Pan to keep it performing?

Use wooden, silicone or nylon tools to protect the ceramic layer and allow the pan to cool before washing to avoid thermal shock. While dishwasher use is supported, occasional handwashing helps preserve the nonstick surface and finish for longer.

• Avoid metal utensils to reduce wear on the coating
• Let the pan cool before submerging in water
• Dishwasher safe, but handwash for best long-term results
• Use moderate heat—high flames are unnecessary thanks to efficient heat conduction

Who this is for: The OXO Professional 12" Frying Pan suits home cooks who want a large, reliable skillet that performs like pro cookware without pro-level upkeep. It’s ideal for families and enthusiasts who cook a range of dishes—sautéing, searing, pan-frying and oven-finishing—and who value a PFAS-free nonstick surface, induction compatibility, and easy cleanup.
