Know before you buy
The D3 construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the entire bottom and up the sides of the pan, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures consistent searing.
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
Yes, the pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. Because it is made entirely of stainless steel, it can handle high-heat finishes without damaging the handle or the body.
The 3-quart size is versatile enough for searing proteins, braising, or preparing pan sauces for two to four people. Its wide surface area is specifically designed to accommodate multiple pieces of meat at once without overcrowding.
The pan features double-riveted stainless steel handles designed for a secure, professional grip. While they are durable and ergonomic, they will get hot on the stovetop, so we recommend using an oven mitt or towel when handling.
To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan over medium heat before adding oil or food. Once the pan is hot, the 18/10 stainless steel surface provides an excellent sear and allows for easy deglazing, which is essential for building flavorful pan sauces.
