Why Choose 18/10 Stainless Steel?

18/10 stainless steel (18% chromium, 10% nickel) represents the highest quality grade for cookware, offering superior corrosion resistance, durability, and a lustrous finish that lasts for decades. Unlike lower-grade stainless steel or non-stick pans that degrade over time, this premium fry pan maintains its performance and appearance through years of daily use. The textured stainless steel interior creates a superior cooking surface that browns food beautifully while being safe for metal utensils.
