Karaca Swiss Crystal Almond Cream Non-Stick Induction Stainless Steel Handle Shallow Pan, 18cm, Cream

Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the handle construction?

A: The handle uses 18/10 stainless steel with chromium-nickel alloy composition. This grade withstands commercial dishwasher detergents and maintains structural integrity above 200°C. Rivet attachment points distribute stress during handling.

Q: What load capacity does the non-stick coating support during metal utensil contact?

A: SwissCrystal coating tolerates contact from stainless steel spatulas and tongs during normal sauté operations. Avoid dragging sharp-edged tools across the surface. Coating thickness allows moderate abrasion resistance across 500+ service cycles.

Q: Does the induction base require specific burner wattage for optimal performance?

A: The ferrous base plate responds to induction burners rated between 1200W and 2000W. Lower wattage extends heat-up time. Higher wattage may cause uneven heating on the 18cm diameter surface.

Q: Can this pan withstand commercial dishwasher cycles at 85°C?

A: The pan survives dishwasher temperatures up to 85°C without coating delamination. Hand washing extends coating life in high-volume operations. Avoid alkaline detergents above pH 11.

Q: Is custom sizing available for larger diameter shallow pans with the same coating?

A: Karaca produces this SwissCrystal series in 20cm, 24cm, and 28cm diameters. TurcoBazaar coordinates volume orders for matched pan sets. Lead time for bulk orders is 4-6 weeks from Turkish production facilities.
