The hand held "Tiger Paw" device is an industry accepted standard which was designed to test the resistance of a non-stick coating to long-term kitchen abuse. The Hand Held Tiger Paw consists of a weighted apparatus which uses 3 "ball point" pens to scratch the coating film. The cookware which is being tested is filled with a thin layer of cooking oil, and heated to 400Á Fahrenheit (205Á Celsius.) |

| The Tiger Paw is rotated over the non-stick surface in a circular fashion 2000 times, changing direction every 100 rotations. The coating is then examined for any fraying, blistering, or penetration to bare metal. |
