The only cookware material that is entirely inert from outer surface to inner core. No coatings over a metal base, no binders, no PFAS, no heavy metals — it is a single piece of fired ceramic. MADE SAFE certified. The Signature Series adds a wider base and more ergonomic handle versus the original Versa series. Made in the USA. At $128, it is the entry point into the ceramic-only category.
