Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features a core of three aluminum layers sandwiched between stainless steel. This design ensures rapid, uniform heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating hot spots and providing excellent heat retention for searing.
Yes, the pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction. The magnetic stainless steel base is specifically engineered to work efficiently with induction technology.
Silvinox® is a unique electrochemical surface treatment that removes impurities from the stainless steel. It ensures the pan maintains its silvery-white finish over time and makes it much easier to clean, even after high-heat cooking.
Yes, the entire pan, including the stainless steel handles, is oven and broiler safe up to 500°F. This allows you to easily transition from stovetop searing to finishing dishes in the oven.
The 12.5-inch measurement refers to the diameter of the cooking surface. The pan also features a helper handle opposite the main handle, which is essential for safely maneuvering this larger, heavier skillet when full.
Yes, the pan is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is generally recommended for all high-quality stainless steel cookware to maintain its appearance and longevity over many years of use.
