I think you,ll find that this is a metal pan with a ceramic coating,most likely aluminium..or maybe titanium...as to the shape of the handle, i have a feeling that this has not been made this way, because..if it was...you would not be able to use it on the burners at the rear of the cooker,...as you,d end up with a very hot handle...i think its been heated too much and the handle has distorted as to being able to use it....well, as it could only be used on the front burners,it would then become a danger,as the handle is sticking out and down...and would be within reach of curious little fingers....hang it on a pot hook for decoration...or bin it....
