Discover the key features of the Fissler Ceratal Comfort frying pan with glass lid. Learn how to use it for everyday cooking and what to expect from its ceramic nonstick surface.
Quick answer
The Fissler Ceratal Comfort frying pan combines a water-based ceramic nonstick coating with a glass lid, making it a versatile choice for searing, sautéing, simmering, and one-pan meals.
What is the ceramic nonstick coating like?
The Ceratal Comfort frying pan uses a water-based ceramic coating that is free of PTFE and PFOA. This coating provides smooth food release while still allowing you to brown and sear ingredients without excessive sticking. However, ceramic nonstick surfaces are generally less durable than traditional PTFE coatings and may show wear over time, especially with high heat or metal utensils. Using silicone, wood, or nylon tools and avoiding high heat are ways to extend its life.
What are the benefits of the glass lid?
The included glass lid allows you to monitor cooking progress without lifting the lid, which helps retain heat and moisture. This is especially useful for simmering sauces, steaming vegetables, or cooking one-pan meals where you want to control evaporation. The lid is made specifically for this pan size and fits snugly, but glass lids are more fragile than metal ones and require careful handling.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I use metal utensils with this pan?
- Fissler recommends avoiding metal utensils to protect the ceramic nonstick coating. Use silicone, wood, or nylon instead to prevent scratches.
- Is this pan oven-safe?
- The Ceratal Comfort frying pan is oven-safe up to 230°C (446°F) without the lid. The glass lid is not oven-safe and should be removed before placing the pan in the oven. Always remove the glass lid before using the pan in the oven.
- How do I clean the ceramic nonstick surface?
- Let the pan cool completely, then hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and dishwasher use, as they may damage the coating. Hand washing with soft tools helps preserve the ceramic coating's longevity.
- What cooking methods work best?
- This pan is suitable for searing, sautéing, frying, and simmering on gas, electric, glass, and induction cooktops. The glass lid makes it especially useful for one-pan meals and dishes where you want to keep moisture inside. The pan works on all common cooktops, including induction.
