Know before you buy
The 316Ti grade includes titanium, which provides superior resistance to corrosion and pitting. This ensures the pan remains non-reactive, meaning it won't impart a metallic taste to acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or wine.
No, this is a professional-grade stainless steel skillet, not a non-stick pan. While it does not have a chemical coating, you can achieve excellent food release by preheating the pan properly before adding your oil and ingredients.
Due to its 5-ply construction and large surface area, this is a substantial piece of cookware. To assist with handling, it features an ergonomic stay-cool handle paired with a helper handle, making it easier to lift and move safely.
Yes, the exterior is crafted from 439 titanium stainless steel, which is highly magnetic and optimized for excellent performance on induction surfaces, as well as gas and electric ranges.
Absolutely. The skillet is oven-safe up to 800°F, allowing you to sear on the stovetop and finish your dish in the oven without worrying about damaging the pan or the handle.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel. If you do use a dishwasher, ensure it is placed securely to avoid contact with other items.
