Description
Better Chef 16-Inch Copper Ceramic Deep Skillet with Glass Lid
At a Glance
- 16-inch cooking surface, one of the largest home skillets
- Copper-colored ceramic non-stick, PTFE and PFOA-free
- Vented tempered-glass lid to watch food and release steam
- Gas and electric stovetops, low-to-medium heat
- Dual insulated side handles for a safer lift
When a full pound of bacon, a family stir-fry or a skillet of fajitas has to happen in one pass, a standard 10-inch pan runs out of room fast. The Better Chef DF-1604 gives you a full 16 inches of deep, ceramic-coated cooking space so everything cooks together in a single batch and cleans up in seconds.
Key Features
- 16-inch surface cooks a full pound of bacon or a big stir-fry in one pass.
- Deep sidewalls hold enough oil for shallow frying without splatter overflow.
- Copper-colored ceramic non-stick releases food with little oil for lighter cooking and fast cleanup.
- Vented tempered-glass lid lets you watch food and releases steam so sauces do not boil over.
- Dual insulated side handles make a heavy, full pan easier and safer to lift.
- Flat bottom sits flush on gas and electric burners for even heat.
- PFOA-free ceramic coating is a cleaner non-stick option than older PTFE pans.
Before You Buy
- Use gas or electric, not induction. The aluminum body has no magnetic base, so it will not heat on an induction range.
- Cook on the stovetop only. The glass lid and handles are not oven rated, so keep this pan out of the oven.
- Hand wash and cook on low-to-medium heat. High heat and the dishwasher shorten the ceramic non-stick's life.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Will this work on my induction stove?
No. The aluminum body has no magnetic base, so it will not heat on induction. Use it on gas or electric burners.
Can I put it in the oven?
No. The tempered-glass lid and handles are not oven rated. It is designed for stovetop cooking only.
How should I clean it?
Hand wash with a soft sponge. That keeps the ceramic non-stick performing far longer than machine washing.
How big is it exactly?
A full 16 inches across with deep sides, noticeably larger than a standard 10 or 12-inch skillet.
Care & Use▼
Hand wash the skillet with a soft sponge and mild soap, and skip the dishwasher to protect the coating. Cook on low-to-medium heat, since the ceramic non-stick needs very little oil and high heat wears it down. Reach for silicone, nylon or wood utensils to keep the surface scratch-free, and let the pan cool before washing so it does not warp. With this simple routine the copper-colored ceramic keeps releasing food cleanly for years.

Why cooks reach for the 16-inch
Splatter stays in the pan
Shallow pans throw oil across your cooktop the moment you fry. Deep sidewalls hold enough oil for shallow frying and keep the mess off your stove and counter.
Less oil, easier cleanup
Older non-stick pans still need a coat of grease and hard scrubbing. The copper-colored ceramic surface releases food with little oil and wipes clean by hand in seconds.

Cooking capacity
A standard 12-inch pan cooks in shifts and crowds your food. This deep 16-inch skillet cooks a full family batch in one pass with room to move ingredients around.
Non-stick coating
Many budget pans still rely on older PTFE surfaces. This ceramic non-stick is PFOA-free, releases food with little oil, and wipes clean without any harsh scrubbing.
Frying control
Shallow generic skillets splatter oil across the cooktop. The deep vented design holds frying oil in the pan and lets steam escape so sauces do not boil over.
Will this work on my induction stove?
No. The aluminum body has no magnetic base, so it will not heat on induction. Use it on gas or electric burners.
