The coating is a consumable, and the maker states how hot it may go · review
A granite-effect coated cast aluminum pan with a magnetized base for induction. The maker states the coating is free of PFOA, lead and cadmium, and that the pan is dishwasher safe.
What we would actually buy Cast aluminum at a low price is a genuine point in its favor. The metal-utensil claim is not one to lean on.
A 28 cm (11 in) pan with a speckled granite-effect nonstick surface over a cast aluminum body. ZUOFENG states the coating contains no PFOA, lead or cadmium, and that the base is magnetized so the pan works on induction as well as gas.
The maker makes a point of the interior being cast aluminum, which is the more substantial construction and the reason the pan feels heavier than its price suggests. It is also the property most likely to keep the base flat.
The listing describes the surface as scratch resistant “even with metal utensils”. Whatever a coating tolerates in a test, metal against any nonstick surface is the fastest way to end it — and once a coating is scratched, food catches in the damaged area rather than uniformly, which is more annoying than a pan that sticks everywhere.
No stated maximum temperature and no base thickness. Both matter more than the coating name, and neither appears.
Listed but with no offer on the American Amazon store — the reference exists there and nobody is currently selling it.

The maker states the surface is scratch resistant with metal cutlery. Whatever a coating tolerates in testing, metal against any nonstick surface is the fastest way to end it, and a scratched pan sticks in one place rather than uniformly.
A speckled finish, applied over the aluminum body. It describes the appearance and the texture of the coating rather than a different material — there is no stone in a granite-effect pan.

Cast aluminum at a low price is a genuine point in its favor. The metal-utensil claim is not one to lean on.
Someone who wants a coated pan that can go in the dishwasher without an argument.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for cookware and kitchen knives and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
28 cm (11 in) · titanium-reinforced ceramic · heavy cast body · solid stainless cold handle · hanging loop
The heaviest and most expensive pan in this hub, sold on its construction rather than its coating: a massive body that the maker states spreads heat right to the rim, and a solid stainless handle that stays hand-warm.
Best for: Someone replacing a warped pan and unwilling to do it again.
28 cm (11 in) · nonstick over stainless with aluminum core · oven safe · dishwasher safe · pouring rim
Stainless steel outside, aluminum core inside, nonstick within — and unusually for this price, the maker states it is both oven safe and dishwasher safe, with a pouring rim right around.
Best for: A household that wants one coated pan that can follow a dish into the oven.
28 cm (11 in) · ceramic nonstick · PFAS-free surface stated · induction · hand wash only
The cheapest pan in this hub and the one with the clearest instructions: Blackmoor states a ceramic, PFAS-free cooking surface and an aluminum body, and states plainly that the pan is neither dishwasher nor oven safe.
Best for: A first pan, a student kitchen, or a spare that will be replaced without regret.
