Know before you buy
Yes. While copper is not naturally magnetic, this pan features a specialized wraparound stainless steel base that allows it to function perfectly on induction surfaces alongside gas, electric, and ceramic hobs.
The copper core is sealed between layers of stainless steel, so the exterior will not tarnish like traditional solid copper cookware. You can maintain the finish with standard stainless steel cleaners.
The pan is designed with flat, flush rivets on the interior. This creates a smooth surface that prevents food from getting trapped, making it significantly easier to clean than pans with traditional protruding rivets.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the five-layer construction and the finish, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
The straighter walls provide a larger cooking surface area compared to pans with steeply sloped sides. This allows you to sear more ingredients at once without overcrowding the pan.
No, this is a professional-grade stainless steel and copper pan. It does not have a nonstick coating, so you will need to use a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking, especially when cooking proteins.
