Nano-ceramic is a water-based coating made of titanium and suspended silicate micro-particles (the main components of glass); one of the purest, most ecological materials in nature. It resists scratches and abrasions, and offers a smooth, compact and uniform surface that makes it easier to clean. Its white color provides a unique and extraordinary cooking experience…like cooking in your own plate. Extra-thick, heavy-gauge construction provides excellent thermal conductivity and guarantees optimum heat distribution resulting in less energy required to maintain desired cooking temperature. Scratch resistant and easy to clean. Stay-cool phenolic handle for secure handling.
