Discover SCANPAN Classic and Urban cookware at Peppercorn Cookware — two of SCANPAN's most popular ranges, each with distinct advantages for the modern kitchen.

Key Differences Explained

• Handle Design (Biggest Difference) — Urban's standout feature is the detachable handle. You can remove it for easy stacking/nesting, oven use, or storage in tight spaces. Classic has permanent fixed handles.
• Stovetop & Versatility — Urban works on all cooktops including induction. Classic is primarily for gas/ceramic (with a separate Classic Induction variant that adds a stainless plate for induction).
• Build & Sustainability — Both use recycled aluminium and Stratanium coating for excellent non-stick performance and durability. Urban emphasises hand-casting and higher recycled content.
• Range & Use Cases — Classic offers the widest variety of pots, pans, woks and more — ideal for building a full set. Urban focuses on fry pans and sauté pans that prioritise convenience and space efficiency.
