Amazon.com Review
Scanpan's covered stewpot has an extra-thick base, allowing you to save energy by using low-to-medium heat for almost all your cooking. Other features include a heat-tempered glass lid, a heat-resistant handle, and a ceramic titanium interior surface that is safe for use with metal utensils and won't crack, peel, or blister. The stewpot is oven-safe to 500 degrees. This pot comes with a lifetime nonstick guarantee, but it is suggested that you follow a few easy steps to ensure long-term use: immerse the warm pan in water immediately after cooking and hand wash with warm, soapy water; when you're ready to use it again, spread a few drops of oil on it with a paper towel. --Julie McCowan
From the Manufacturer
 | About Green Tek Nonstick Technology: In the more recent past, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken the leading manufacturer of nonstick compounds to task over excessive emissions of PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid). PFOA has been used as a catalyst in the production of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), the basic building block for all nonstick cookware surfaces. PFOA is a chemical that is hard to break down in the environment. It has a half life of 3.8 years, meaning that if there are 4 grams of PFOA in the body today, the body will have 2 grams in it in four years from now, 1 gram in eight years from now and so on. The human metabolism does not remove PFOA. While it is not a carcinogen or toxin and is generally assumed inert and not harmful to your health, it is environmentally unfriendly and just sticks around forever. That is why the EPA and the leading nonstick manufacturer have agreed that by 2010, the amount of PFOA used to produce PTFE compounds need to be cut by 95%, and by 2015 no PFOA could be used, at all. Towards the end of this process, PFOA is completely extracted via ionization filters. Even if any traces of PFOA were still present by the time the nonstick compound reached the cookware factory, the pan surface curing temperatures would destroy such remnants. The same is true for the old nonstick compound used for Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional. That's why Scanpan has always been able to present the finished product as not containing PFOA. |
Scanpan cookware has always been PFOA free, but the negative publicity that PFOA and, by extension, PTFE had received over the last few years, had caused Scanpan to work closely with their suppliers to find a substitute for PFOA that is biodegradable. Scanpan received patents on PFOA-free technology in 2007 and has been producing Scanpan Classic and Scanpan Professional with this new process since spring 2007. With their new Green Tek technology, there is no PFOA used at any stage of the entire process, resulting in a "clean and green" nonstick PTFE compound, the production of which no longer uses chemicals that could have a negative impact on the environment.
The performance of the Scanpan Green Tek surface is not different in any way from the performance of Scanpan's previous surface. And Scanpan continues to incorporate their patented ceramic-titanium technology. Scanpan is safe to use with metal utensils and each piece comes with a lifetime warranty.
Taking Care of Scanpan Classic Cookware:
1. Before first use, remove all packing materials, labels and tags and wash pan in hot, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. Assemble the glass cover handle, if applicable, following the instructions on the poly bag that holds all handle parts. Tighten by hand, only, do not use tools. Make sure the small washer that goes on the underside of the glass cover is flush with the glass surface. If not, turn the washer around and re-assemble the handle.
2. Heat pan to working temperature. Medium heat is typically sufficient for frying and sauteing. Since each stove top has its own settings, find the best heat setting for your stove by starting at a lower setting, then gradually increase until water splashed on the pan surface evaporates immediately with a sizzle. High heat can be used for other applications, like boiling water, stir frying, oven roasting etc. Scanpan Classic Cookware is oven safe to 500 degrees F.
3. Scanpan Classic can be used without oil, butter, or other seasonings, making it especially suitable for low fat diets.
4. After use, remove food and clean Scanpan Classic with warm, soapy water. Scanpan Classic wipes clean with a sponge. Scanpan Classic is dishwasher safe, however, Scanpan recommends using extra care if you decide to clean the pans in the dishwasher to prevent damage to plates, glassware, etc.
5. When storing Scanpan Classic Cookware and "nesting" (placing smaller pots inside larger pots) is required due to space limitations, Scanpan recommends placing a paper or cloth towel between the pots and pans to prevent scuff marks. Glass covers should ideally be stored upright. If that is not practical, Scanpan recommends using towels or other suitable material to wrap the covers and to prevent them from chipping or breaking.
Product Description
Stews, casseroles and plenty of comfort food will be enjoyed using this covered stockpot. It holds a generous five quarts, so you can feed the family or prepare food while planning on some leftovers. Part of the Classic Ceramic Titanium line, the stew pot features a pressure-cast aluminum body to ensure even heating without warping. The ceramic titanium compound is super-heated then fired onto the pan's exterior for an extraordinarily hard surface. The interior surface is then coated with a nonstick compound that withstands even metal utensils. The spring-lock handle is completely hygienic and designed to stay cool as you cook. Overall, it's one of the highest quality pieces you can add to your kitchen. For nearly 50 years, Scanpan Denmark has been at the forefront of inventing advanced cookware technology to make life easier both for the hobby chef and the serious cook. Scanpan has been consistently rated "Best Nonstick Cookware" by consumer publications since 1987. Its new, improved cooking surface is now dishwasher-safe.

This review is from: Scanpan Classic 2-3/4-Quart Low Sauce Pot (Kitchen)
All scanpans are about the same. Well built, nice flat bottoms for use on glass top stoves. This pot is a perfect addition if you want to use a pot when cooking stews/chili/pasta for 1 to 3 servings. Scanpan does make bigger pots if you need.

Sauces or Stews,
This review is from: Scanpan Classic 5-Quart Covered Low Sauce Pot (Kitchen)
If you are looking for the perfect saucepot to make spaghetti sauce, chili or anything "saucy" this is your pot. I use it with a splatter screen placed over the top and stir the sauce with one of those beautiful Exoglass Spoons that look like a wooden spoon, but never absorb any color from tomato sauces.
SCANPAN Titanium is made in Denmark. It is one of the best lines of nonstick cookware on the market. The pans have a Ceramic Titanium non-stick cooking surface and a Pressure-cast aluminum body. These pans have heavy-gauge, perfectly flat bases and can be used on electric, gas, ceramic and halogen cook tops. All the cookware, glass lids, and the ergonomically designed handles are ovenproof to 500 degrees. Features: Base is guaranteed to remain level - The best I've seen in my short life. The base is thicker than most pans and the pans feel very sturdy. No spinning on glass surfaces like other pans I've used. NewTek Finish won't peel, blister or crack Even Heat Distribution - Guaranteed to not have any hot spots. Easy to Clean Surface Dishwasher Safe Heat Resistant Glass Lids - You can put them in the oven Also look for the griddle, square grill pan, crepe pan, roasting pan, stove top grill, paella pan, wok and covered chef pan/Wok. If you are tired of buying cheaper pans (that you eventually throw away), give this line a try. I have found that this is a very worthwhile investment and my cooking is much improved. I love the results I have been able to achieve with this set of pots and pans. When I cook with SCANPAN Items I feel like a chef and my recipes take on a gourmet quality. Food browns more evenly and sauces are super creamy because of the even heat distribution. You will also love this set for cooking stews, making quick breakfasts (since nothing sticks you can use the same pan for many items, bacon, eggs and hash browns), gravies, frying steaks, one-dish meals and anything you can think of cooking. You can even start items on the stovetop and finish them in the oven. Highly Recommended. I've been using these pans for years and have yet to find anything like this brand. I also love the 6-quart Dutch Oven. ~The Rebecca Review

Do NOT believe the hype.,
This review is from: Scanpan Classic Saucepot with Lid
I purchased this pot and other Scanpan cookware several (3-4) years ago. After about a year the "miracle" Titanium coating started to peel and flake off, just like the cheaper brands on the market we are all familiar with. NO where in the packages was any information about "who to contact" for warranty service. The pain of the high price paid for these inferior products will last longer than the cookware will. Don't be duped, and don't buy Scanpan. Disappointment awaits if you do.
