T-Fal B36282 Nonstick Deep Covered 12-Inch Pan – Stay-Cool Handles

Overview

Meet the T-Fal B36282 12-inch nonstick deep covered everyday pan. With a generous 5-quart capacity, it accommodates family-sized meals and busy weeknights without crowding the stove. The deep sides and wide base support even browning and minimal splatter, while the vented glass lid traps heat and moisture for richer flavors and a satisfying aroma.

This pan blends practical design with durable materials. The exterior combines premium 18/10 stainless steel for lasting beauty and strength, while the Techno-Release nonstick interior promotes easy food release and quick cleanup. A Thermo-Spot heat indicator turns solid red when preheating reaches the right temperature, helping you time searing, deglazing, and simmering with confidence.

Comfort, control, and visibility

Ergonomics come standard with riveted stainless-steel handles that stay cool to the touch, enabling safer maneuvering. The vented glass lid lets you monitor progress without losing heat or moisture, so your dishes develop the intended texture and flavor without guesswork.

Versatility and care

Designed for modern kitchens, this pan is dishwasher and oven safe up to 500°F and compatible with all cooktops, including induction. The combination of heat retention, even distribution, and a user-friendly nonstick surface supports a wide range of techniques, from quick sautés to saucy finishes. A limited lifetime warranty adds peace of mind for everyday use.
