Absolutely love this pan! It has the grooves on the bottom of the pan to simulate grill marks. I absolutely love that it’s oven safe up to 500°F. We actually used it on our Traeger grill to smoke meatballs and get that “grill sear” without making a mess or losing a meatball to the grates of the grill. It’s also compatible with glass, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops! I went from a gas stove to a glass stove and had to get rid of a lot of pans so getting another pan to use in my arsenal was great! It is dishwasher safe, the pan is nonstick and is actually NONSTICK! Like mentioned we made meatballs and after leaving the pan out all night I was expecting the sauce to be stuck but it came right off with the swipe of a paper towel! *said sauce that I was sure was going to need to be soaked and just came right off!
