The Korkmaz Ornella is a serious version of it: heavy-gauge aluminum, a five-layer granite-effect non-stick surface, and Korkmaz's Solar Base, which means it works on induction as well as gas and electric. Made in Turkey by a company that has been building cookware since 1927.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 8 in (20 cm) non-stick frying pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolar Base - Works on Induction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Korkmaz's Solar Base construction makes this pan compatible with every cooktop type, including induction.

Korkmaz's Solar Base is specifically built for all-cooktop compatibility including induction. This is genuinely uncommon in an aluminum pan at this price and it is the main reason to choose this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it PFAS-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, and we are not going to let a marketing phrase blur this. Korkmaz states the pan is PFOA-free, cadmium-free and lead-free - and all of that is true. But the coating is PTFE-based, and PTFE is a PFAS. PFOA-free does not mean PFAS-free. If you are specifically avoiding PFAS, this is not the pan for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it a ceramic pan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. It is a PTFE-based coating with a granite\/volcanic appearance. The look is stone; the chemistry is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it oven safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not published for the 8-inch. There is a 450F oven-safe figure circulating online, but it belongs to other Ornella sizes, not this one, so we will not print it here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I put it in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Korkmaz does not publish a dishwasher rating for the 8-inch. Hand wash it - which is the right call for any multi-layer non-stick pan regardless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does it come with a lid?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. It is an open 8-inch fry pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash with a soft sponge. Use wood, silicone or nylon utensils - metal will cut through even a five-layer coating eventually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCook on low to medium heat. Non-stick coatings lose their release properties when repeatedly overheated, and an 8-inch pan on a big burner overheats fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the pan cool before washing. Cold water into a hot aluminum pan is the classic way to warp a base - and a warped base will not sit flat on an induction hob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Korkmaz?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorkmaz has been manufacturing cookware in Turkey since 1927 and is one of the most recognized kitchenware names in the country. The Solar Base is a real engineering feature, not a marketing word - it is why this aluminum pan works on induction when most do not. We have been deliberately precise above about what the coating is and is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo warranty term is published by the manufacturer for this model, so we do not quote one.
