Know before you buy
Yes, the tri-ply construction features a magnetic stainless steel exterior that makes it fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass stovetops.
The saucepan itself is oven-safe up to 500°F, but the lid is rated for temperatures up to 350°F. If you are roasting or baking at higher temperatures, you will need to remove the lid.
The Cool Grip handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, it will become hot if used inside the oven, so always use an oven mitt when removing it.
Like all high-quality stainless steel cookware, this pan requires proper preheating and a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking. It is best to heat the pan on medium heat before adding your ingredients.
While the pan is dishwasher-safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the polished finish of the stainless steel over time.
The tri-ply design sandwiches an aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel. This allows for rapid, even heat distribution across the entire base and sides of the pan, which helps prevent hot spots and scorching.
