Introduction to Essentials Nonstick Collection

The Essentials Nonstick Collection is designed to simplify the cooking process, allowing users to cook, serve, clean, and store with ease. Constructed of heavy-gauge, hard-anodized aluminum, this collection is highly durable and features a 3-layer nonstick coating that prevents food molecules from clinging to the surface.
