This item also boasts a superior dual-layer, ceramic-reinforced coating that uses the largest, hardest, and greatest number of reinforcements for increased longevity and enhanced efficiency. Designed to provide you with the longest release life and best abrasion resistance of all Vollrath cookware coatings, CeramiGuard II is even environmentally-friendly and lacks PFOAs, which helps to increase the pan's wear-resistance by 25%! Additionally, while it shields against scratching and tarnishing, it simultaneously prevents food from bonding with the pan, meaning that you can promote healthier food prep by limiting the amount of oils and fats required to cook.
