12 Days of Christmas: Scanpan CTX 5-Piece Cookware

by

I’m excited to offer another fun 12 Days of Christmas series at Deal Seeking Mom. Each day through 12/7, I’ll post a new 3-day giveaway! Browse all of the giveaways here.


Last year I made the decision to toss all of our Teflon cookware after reading an article about how the coating can potentially break down at higher heats, and my husband has complained bitterly about it on a semi-weekly basis. He often prepares grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids at lunch, so he probably feels the loss of that wonderful non-stick coating a little more keenly than I do.

But that’s all in the past thanks to Scanpan! They recently introduced the world’s first induction-compatible PFOA-free cookware, produced with layered recycled-aluminum and stainless-steel.

Now I’ll be the first to say that this cookware is on the pricey side. I’m not a gourmet cook, but I really enjoy cooking and appreciate high-quality cookware because I know I’ll use it often. After trying it out and considering the benefits, I think that Scanpan is well worth the pricetag:

  • Scanpan boasts an ultra-durable nonstick surface that is safe for metal utensils and is PFOA-free (no Teflon)! Why is this important to me? While I’m always careful to use non-metal utensils, I always worry about others in the household not being quite as diligent. I’m glad to know that I don’t need to worry about this. Go ahead and use those metal utensils — the patented ceramic titanium surface is virtually indestructible!
  • Go ahead and crank up the heat! Scanpan will not warp at higher heats, and there’s no need to worry about the non-stick coating being damaged. This allows for browning and caramelization of foods with little to no added fat (healthier cooking!), something you can’t achieve with traditional Teflon pans. Plus it’s oven safe up to 500 degres as well.
  • Scanpan is dishwasher safe! I probably don’t really need to tell you why this is such an awesome feature, but I just can’t help but gush over it. Not having to slave over scrubbing dirty pots and pans get high marks in my book.

I’ll admit I was a little intimidated upon opening the box and seeing these lovely pots and pans, each individually packaged in their own velvet bags, but after using them I’m hooked. Scanpan offers a lifetime warranty on their products, and they truly are engineered to last a lifetime. So while they do require a somewhat substantial investment for the average cook up front, when you consider the quality and cost-per-use over a lifetime, I believe the price is more than reasonable.

    I love scanpan! I received a small skillet as a gift about 10 yrs. ago, and it really is indistructible! I like the fact that it can be used on top of the stove and in the oven at high temps.

    My favorite part about the pans is that they are indestructible…I worry about Teflon and bought some Cuisinart Green pans and the nonstickness has either worn off or been damaged :(

    I love that you don’t have to worry about what utensil you’re going to use in the pan so you don’t ruin it. Especially with teenagers in the house!

    I also really love thje fact that they have a lifetime warranty. I have thrown all of my teflon away as well for the same concerns. I purchased a few cheap pans last year at Christmas and have been saving to buy a nice set that would last. I will definitely consider ScanPans in my search. I have considered stainless, but I like the non-stick feature of these. Thanks for the opportunity to win these great products!!

    My favorite feature is that you can use metal utensils. I’m always afraid someone will ruin my other pans with metal…

    I love that it isn’t teflon! Ever since I found out cooking indoors with teflon kills birds it has wierded me out on what it might be doing to me!

    I need some quality pans. Seems I never have enough cash to invest in really good cookware. Plus I’m really enjoying cooking these days!
