Hard anodizing is a controlled surface treatment of aluminum. It should be distinguished from a separately applied non-stick coating.
Ask which surfaces are anodized, how the finish is specified and whether an additional cooking-surface coating is part of the design. Color, edge coverage and appearance can vary with process and alloy, so confirm the approved sample and applicable food-contact evidence for the complete article.
What to confirm in your brief
- Identify the base alloy and anodized areas.
- Confirm appearance and any additional coating.
- Request test evidence for the finished cookware article.
