Q: What steel grade is used in the handle and base construction?

A: Handle is 304-grade stainless steel. Base uses multi-layer construction with aluminium core for induction compatibility. CE certification confirms material compliance for food contact use.

Q: Can the handle withstand oven use or only stovetop?

A: Stainless handle withstands stovetop heat. Oven use not recommended due to non-stick coating temperature limits and handle heat transfer. Pan intended for hob-based cooking only.
