The coating is a consumable, and the maker states how hot it may go · review
A 12-inch hard-anodized pan with a lid and a heat indicator that turns solid red when preheated. It is not for induction.
A 12-inch hard-anodized aluminum pan with a titanium nonstick coating, a riveted silicone handle, a vented glass lid and T-Fal’s Thermo-Spot indicator. The pan is rated to 400°F and the lid to 350°F.
“3x longer lasting” compares this coating with T-fal’s own basic coating, so it tells you nothing against other brands on this shelf.
It costs about $17 more than the Tramontina Professional. The extra money buys the lid and the indicator. On induction, neither is an option: this listing says “excluding induction” in so many words, and the All-Clad HA1 is the pan to look at.

A mark in the center of the pan turns solid red when it reaches preheat temperature. It is useful for avoiding the most common nonstick mistake, which is cooking too soon or overheating an empty pan.
Yes. T-Fal is the name the brand uses in North America, and Tefal the name it uses in Europe.

Worth the premium over the Tramontina if you want the lid and the heat indicator.
