Construction

The Nordic Ware Basalt 8 Inch Saute Skillet with Lid combines formed aluminum cookware with a stainless steel lid and knob for versatile everyday cooking. The skillet promotes efficient, even heating for frying eggs, sauteing vegetables, searing proteins, and preparing smaller portions. The stainless steel lid provides coverage for simmering, steaming, and braising. Part of the Nordic Ware Basalt Cookware line, the skillet features a basalt colored exterior and speckled interior with convenient stovetop to oven versatility.

Nonstick Performance

A Swiss made 3 layer ceramic nonstick interior coating promotes easy food release and supports low oil cooking. The smooth surface is well suited for eggs, fish, vegetables, chicken, and other everyday ingredients. Use the skillet for quick sautes, breakfast favorites, side dishes, and smaller meals while enjoying easier cleanup.

Size and Versatility

The 8 inch saute skillet is well suited for individual portions, side dishes, breakfast foods, and quick cooking tasks. Its compact cooking surface is easy to maneuver when frying eggs, browning meat, sauteing vegetables, or preparing sauces. The stainless steel lid fits securely over the skillet for covered cooking. Since both pieces are oven safe, you can move covered dishes from stovetop to oven without transferring food to another pan.

Handle and Stovetop Compatibility

The riveted stainless steel handle provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip for controlled handling while cooking. Its compact design makes the skillet easy to maneuver when stirring, turning, or serving food. The stainless steel lid features a stainless steel knob for a secure grip when lifting or repositioning the lid. The skillet is compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

Oven and Care

Both pieces are oven safe, with the formed aluminum skillet rated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and the stainless steel lid rated to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows covered dishes to move from stovetop to oven while keeping each piece within its specified temperature limit. Hand wash the skillet with warm, soapy water and use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to help protect the ceramic nonstick surface. The stainless steel lid is dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup. The skillet handle may discolor at temperatures above 425 degrees Fahrenheit, so use caution when transferring from stovetop to oven.

Pleased to find a healthy saute skillet with a lid–made in the USA–that can go from stove top to oven. The pan bottom could use a little more weight so that there is no chance that it will tip.

I never buy non-stick cookware preferring stainless and cast iron, but a friend urged me to try it for cooking tofu and it’s life changing. So glad I did.

It’s incredibly difficult to find truly Made in America products, especially something like nonstick cookware, so this line from Nordic was a very welcome find (and great to see how honest they are with which pieces of a product aren’t made here). Fit and Finish is great, the nonstick works incredibly well. Time will tell how it holds up but the first few weeks have proven great.
