Brentwood B-FH20 8-Inch 3-Ply Hybrid Non-Stick Stainless Steel Frying Pan - Induction Ready, Oven Safe to 570°F, Metal Utensil Safe
Brentwood B-FH20 8-Inch 3-Ply Hybrid Non-Stick Stainless Steel Frying Pan
At a Glance
- What it is: An 8-inch 3-ply hybrid non-stick frying pan - stainless inside and out with an aluminum core.
- Metal-utensil safe: Laser-etched stainless hex ridges sit above the non-stick valleys, so a metal spatula rides on steel.
- Oven safe: Up to 570°F - hot enough to sear and finish under a broiler.
- Cooktops: Gas, electric, induction, and infrared.
- Dishwasher safe: Yes - rare for non-stick cookware.
- ⚠ Before you buy: At 8 inches this is a one-to-two-serving pan - eggs, an omelet, a fish fillet, a single steak - not a family-size skillet.
Non-stick pans die because you cannot use metal in them and cannot get them hot. The Brentwood B-FH20 is built to sidestep both. Its laser-etched hex surface raises stainless steel ridges above the non-stick valleys - so a metal spatula rides on steel, not on coating. It is oven safe to 570°F, induction ready, dishwasher safe, and three-ply with an aluminum core for even heat. This is the pan you buy when you are tired of replacing pans.
Key Features
- Metal-Utensil Safe Hybrid Surface: Laser-etched hexagonal stainless ridges sit proud of the non-stick valleys, so metal utensils contact steel rather than coating. This is the whole engineering idea, and it is what makes the pan last.
- Oven Safe to 570°F: High enough to sear on the stove and finish under a broiler - a temperature most non-stick pans cannot survive.
- Induction Ready, Works on Everything: Gas, electric, induction, and infrared. Most non-stick aluminum pans cannot do induction; this one can.
- 3-Ply with an Aluminum Core: Stainless inside and out with aluminum sandwiched between - even heat, no hot spots, no warping.
- Dishwasher Safe: Not something you can say about most non-stick cookware.
- Riveted Stay-Cool Stainless Handle: Riveted, not spot-welded - the joint that fails last.
- PFOA Free: The hybrid non-stick surface is PFOA free.
Before You Buy
- It is an 8-inch pan: Sized for eggs, omelets, fish fillets, and single steaks. If you are cooking for a household, this is the second pan, not the only one.
- Metal utensils are safe here - by design: A genuine exception to the usual non-stick rule. The raised stainless hex ridges take the contact instead of the coating.
- Preheat over medium, not high: The pan handles heat well, but non-stick performance is best when you are not scorching an empty pan.
- Let it cool before washing: Plunging any hot 3-ply pan into cold water risks warping it.
- Dishwasher safe, but: Hand washing will keep the etched hex surface looking new longer.
Perfect For

Why Choose Brentwood?▼
The hybrid hex surface is real engineering, not a marketing finish: laser-etched stainless ridges raised above the non-stick valleys so a metal spatula rides on steel. That single design decision is why a Brentwood hybrid pan survives the metal utensils, the 570°F oven, and the dishwasher cycles that kill ordinary non-stick.
