While I'm not familiar with the particular brand you quote our ceramic "ptfe-free" pans have not been a problem. My wife usually cooks with those. I cook with either my cast iron skillet or larger not non-stick pans.

I am assuming that this is an electric plate/pan that plugs into an electric outlet, Correct?

As a general statement, if it is a true stainless steel plate with a true ceramic surface it 'should' be safe.

Problem 1: Induction is a very specific form of heating. It uses magnetics to cause specific metals (their atoms) to move very quickly causing that metal to heat-up to a level of melting. The rate of movement can be controlled to obtained specific lower temperatures. Induction (industrial) furnaces commonly use extreme high voltage to function. It is possible to use 230/240 Volt AC (USA) to heat surfaces. However at 115/120 Volt AC (USA) is would require a much higher that normal 'outlet' amperage to operate it. Long Story Short: Likely Pure Marketing BS!

Problem 2: Ceramic surfaces can be applied to stainless steel. Having said that, to transfer heat evenly would require a thickness nearly .125 (1/8") or greater. The combination of both the stainless steel plate and ceramic surface would have this fairly heavy and expensive! Long Story Short: Likely Pure Marketing BS!

If this product uses the heat from your Kitchen Range - Its a standard thin walled pan with a thin coat of something on it. Short term use and likely will trash it once the ceramic or whatever begins failing. And, confirms that it is Pure Marketing BS!

It not electric. It is just a pan to cook with on the stove. The pan is rather heavy.

Well, that is at least good news. There is the possibility that the stainless steel is thick enough to support the Ceramic Coating and the Ceramic Coating is thick enough to provide longer life.

As with all cookware, use the proper burner size and set it at medium or lower.

I would not walk around talking about your 'Induction' cooking pan. The general population already thinks Parrot People are a little crazy. Then again, since less than 5% of the population has any idea what the heck Induction Heating is, your likely very safe.

FYI: For the first use; Low temperature and with a fan on to remove any possible surfaces coating to the great outdoors!

Hi I am new to the parrot forum and I was wondering if you could give me an update on your thoughts about the Copper chef pan?

Has it been any problem for you? Have you been able to use it at any temperature? Have you been able to use it in the oven?

I would really love to have something that I didn't have to worry about besides plain stainless steel that often sticks.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Yes, it SHOULD BE SAFE FOR BIRDS, as it lists all the things it should be free of and is a "ceramic non-stick" pan...that being said, I ALWAYS make a phone call to the customer support phone number and specifically ask if that specific pot/pan is "BIRD SAFE", and I always make sure I give them the proper name of the product and the model or serial numbers listed on the box or instructions/manual. Call me anal but I like the extra security. I've called 3 different companies about pots and pans being bird safe, and all 3 companies made it immediately obvious that they were familiar with the question and had the proper information available quickly. So you should be able to get an answer quickly. Just extra protection.

Good for you all for checking and double-checking!
