There’s more to a pan than just the surface. The ONYX COOKWARE™ ZERO series is made with a solid three-layer construction, each layer with its own job and all of them working together to give you maximum performance.
The outer layer is stainless steel. This gives the pan its strength and stability. It also makes it compatible with every kind of stove – from gas and electric to induction. You don’t have to think twice, it just works.
Inside is a thick layer of aluminum. Aluminum is excellent at transferring heat. It helps your pan heat up quickly and evenly, so you don’t get cold spots or burnt edges. Whether you’re frying, sautéing, or simmering, everything gets the right amount of heat.
Then there’s the cooking surface itself – the top layer that actually touches your food. This is where the magic happens.
Instead of using a fragile coating, the ZERO series use a unique process of nitrogen-infused plasma heat treatment. This involves exposing the stainless steel to high heat in a controlled nitrogen environment. The heat causes the outer layer of steel to transform, creating a tougher surface with a fine, almost invisible texture.
This texture is what gives the pan its non-stick properties – naturally. It reduces the amount of direct contact your food has with the surface, so it releases easily and cleans up faster. And because this layer is part of the steel itself, there’s nothing that can wear and tear. All three layers – the steel, the aluminum, and the nano-textured surface, are permanently fused together. Not glued, not coated, not pressed. Just solid metal engineering built for daily cooking with maximum performance.
It’s made to perform, day after day, year after year, without needing special care or limitations. Just cook, heat, and clean. It’s that convenient.
