The Futura Non-Stick Deep Fry Pan/Kadhai, is crafted from heavy gauge (3.25mm thick) pure, virgin aluminum. This pan boasts a PFOA-free non-stick coating firmly locked into tough hard-anodized aluminum for extended longevity. The base of the pan efficiently diffuses heat. Ideal for sautéing and stir-frying with minimal oil, this pan proves versatile enough for deep-frying and preparing gravies, curries, and sauces. The elegant and comfortable plastic handles are permanently riveted to the pan. Carefully designed for comfort and safety, these handles are particularly useful when dealing with heavy loads or hot oil. The stay-cool plastic handles contribute to a user-friendly experience. The protective hard anodizing of this pan resists pitting, tarnishing, and corrosion and maintains a new appearance for years. Designed with convenience in mind, the pan features a round bottom, making it exceptionally suitable for stir-frying. It is compatible with domestic gas and kerosene stoves.
