Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction consists of a stainless steel interior, a three-layer aluminum core, and a magnetic stainless exterior. This design promotes rapid, even heat distribution across the bottom and sides of the pan, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures consistent browning.
No, this is a traditional stainless steel pan and does not feature a non-stick coating. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan properly and using a small amount of oil or fat before adding your ingredients.
Yes, the pan features a magnetic stainless steel exterior specifically designed to be compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric.
Absolutely. The pan is oven-safe up to 600°F, allowing you to sear ingredients on the stovetop and finish them in the oven without needing to switch cookware.
The pan features an ergonomic, riveted handle designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, if the pan is used in the oven, the handle will become hot and you should use oven mitts.
While the pan is dishwasher safe, we generally recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel over time.
