Compare Non-Stick Pans
OXO Ceramic Professional Nonstick 10-Inch scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Made In ProCoat discloses PTFE in the product line name and AB1200 filing. FDA-approved for food contact. Modern PTFE made without PFOA — but PTFE is still a PFAS compound.
The ceramic sol-gel coating contains no PTFE and no PFAS — confirmed by independent Ecology Center and Mamavation testing of ceramic-coated pans. There is no thermal fume threshold to worry about at any home cooking temperature.
Made In's AB1200 page explicitly lists PTFE, FEP, and PFA for the ProCoat line — full chemical disclosure.
OXO maintains a Required Material Disclosures page meeting California's chemical transparency law. This legally binding disclosure gives buyers an authoritative record of what chemicals are and aren't in the coating.
500°F is ATK's maximum safe-use ceiling for PTFE — the degradation threshold where PTFE can begin releasing fumes. Made In meets this threshold exactly.
Safe to 600°F — well above the 500°F ceiling where PTFE coatings begin to break down. You can sear on the stovetop and finish in a 500°F oven without any coating risk.
5-ply stainless clad distributes heat evenly and enables induction compatibility. Same base construction as Made In's premium stainless cookware.
Hard-anodized aluminum is the premium standard for nonstick pans — electrochemically hardened to be 30% harder than stainless steel, with even heat distribution that prevents hot spots from accelerating coating wear.
2 coating layers is CI's minimum tested threshold. More susceptible to wear than 3+ layer designs. Use medium heat and avoid metal utensils to extend coating life.
OXO doesn't publish the number of coating layers anywhere on the product page or Amazon listing. More layers generally means longer-lasting nonstick performance — without this information, the coating's long-term durability cannot be assessed.
5-ply stainless outer layer provides full induction compatibility with no warping risk. Works on all cooktops.
OXO claims the pan works on induction, but doesn't clarify whether the base is a full encapsulated tri-ply or a simpler bonded magnetic disc. Encapsulated bases distribute heat more evenly on induction — the distinction matters if induction is your primary cooktop.
At CI's ideal weight ceiling for a 10-inch pan. Easy to lift and pour one-handed.
The pan's weight isn't listed anywhere — OXO's product page and Amazon spec table both omit it. Weight matters for daily ergonomics, especially for one-handed use; you'll need to pick it up in store to judge the feel.
Hollow Stay Cool stainless handle dissipates heat better than solid stainless. Fully oven-safe to 500°F. Use an oven mitt for anything above 5 minutes of stovetop use.
The stainless steel handle is fully oven-safe to 600°F with no silicone components that would limit high-heat use. The tradeoff: stainless conducts heat, so stovetop cooking requires an oven mitt after the first few minutes.
Hand-wash only — the right recommendation for PTFE pans. Dishwasher detergents and high heat degrade nonstick coatings.
OXO calls this dishwasher-safe, but cookware experts consistently recommend hand-washing all nonstick pans — dishwasher heat cycles and alkaline detergents degrade ceramic coatings faster. The brand's dishwasher-safe claim works against long-term coating life.
Made In states lifetime warranty for ProCoat. Note: some customer reports cite 1-year warranty — confirm with brand before purchasing if warranty is important.
OXO backs this pan with a lifetime warranty covering coating defects including bubbling, flaking, and loose rivets. That's the strongest warranty signal available — it indicates OXO stands behind the coating's durability over the long term.
At $149, this is priced well above WC's recommended nonstick range. Nonstick pans have a 3-5 year coating lifespan — the premium price is harder to justify vs. the Viking Hard Anodized at $49.99 with comparable scores.
Current price is unavailable from Amazon and the OXO brand site. Value scoring is excluded from the overall R3 score when price cannot be confirmed.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You already use Made In cookware and want a matching nonstick pan with the same 5-ply stainless base
You're comfortable with disclosed PTFE and want induction-encapsulated performance for precise heat control
You'll hand-wash and use medium heat — proper care can extend a 2-layer coating well beyond the 3-5 year benchmark
You're switching away from PTFE pans and want the strongest possible chemical safety profile
You regularly finish dishes in a hot oven and need a pan that can handle 500°F+ without fume risk
A lifetime warranty is important to you and you want a brand that stands behind coating durability
You cook on gas or electric and induction base type is not a priority
The main thing to know
At $149, this is the most expensive pan in this batch — and it uses PTFE with 2 coating layers. If budget allows, the GreenPan Venice Pro offers ceramic (PFAS-free) at similar pricing with more coating layers.
OXO doesn't disclose coating layer count or induction base construction — two transparency gaps that keep the efficacy score at 5.11 despite an excellent hard-anodized base.
Skip this if you...
You want a PFAS-free coating — this is PTFE, not ceramic
You're price-comparing — Viking Hard Anodized ($49.99) scores nearly as high with 3 layers
You're uncertain about the warranty — Made In's ProCoat warranty term (1-year vs. lifetime) is ambiguous
You cook primarily on induction and need confirmed encapsulated-base heat distribution
You want full coating transparency — OXO's undisclosed layer count makes long-term durability a guess

I've reviewed all Non Stick Pans options at every price pointEvery Non-Stick Pans in our database is scored using R3's deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. For this comparison, we evaluated Made In and OXO across 3 independent criteria: Safety (66%), Efficacy (25%), Usability (9%). No sponsored rankings. No paid placements.
Straight answers - no sponsored content, no filler.
I'd start with OXO OXO Ceramic Professional Nonstick 10-Inch - it scored 8.5/10 overall in our scoring system. Safety is our top-weighted scoring pillar, followed by efficacy, and usability. Check which pillar matters most to your family and compare those specific scores.
R3 uses a deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. We evaluate each Non-Stick Pans across Safety, Efficacy, Usability using independently verified data. No sponsored rankings. No paid placements. Every score is fully reproducible.
Not necessarily. The overall score reflects our weighted rubric, but your priorities may differ. If you care most about safety, compare the safety scores directly. If budget drives your decision, the prices tell a clearer story. The "right" pick is the one that matches what matters most to your family.
