Hard Anodized Aluminum Product

What is a hard anodized aluminum product?
Hard anodized aluminum is regular aluminum that has gone through an electrochemical process that changes the surface of the metal by adding a layer of oxidation. This layer hardens the aluminum, making it twice as hard as stainless steel, and gives product its signature dark color.

Hard anodized aluminum cookware can withstand high temperatures, doesn't scratch easily, and is naturally more nonstick than stainless steel cookware (though it is still recommended to use oil or butter when cooking to ensure easy food release).
