NanoBond 8.5" Open Skillet

NanoBond 8.5" Open Skillet

Every kitchen needs a small skillet that's always within reach: the one for a couple of eggs, a single chicken breast, a quick pan of toasted nuts. This is the pan that quietly handles all of those.

The details

This open skillet measures 8.5 inches across the top with low, flared sides that make it easy to slide a spatula under an egg or flip a fillet. It's light and quick to heat, the kind of pan you'll grab without thinking for a fast breakfast or a single portion. With no lid to store, it lives ready on the stovetop or hangs by its long handle.

The NanoBond surface is titanium-bonded stainless steel: thousands of molecular titanium layers fused to stainless over an aluminum core, handcrafted in Italy. There's no coating, which means nothing to scratch through or wear off, and a fully non-toxic surface that's 400% harder than ordinary stainless. The aluminum core spreads heat evenly across that small footprint so eggs cook gently and a sear browns rather than scorches.

Note that uncoated stainless is not a release surface the way nonstick is, so a little butter or oil and a properly preheated pan are your friends here. In return you get a skillet you can sear hard in, deglaze, run under the broiler, and scrub without a second thought. Metal-utensil safe, dishwasher safe, oven and broiler safe to 1,050°F, and compatible with every cooktop including induction.
