Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel. This design provides rapid, uniform heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan, eliminating hot spots and ensuring consistent browning.
Yes, the stainless steel exterior is fully compatible with all major stovetop types, including induction, gas, and electric.
This pan is oven-safe up to 800°F. This makes it an excellent choice for searing meat on the stovetop and finishing it in a high-heat oven.
The proprietary handle is designed to dissipate heat more effectively than standard metal handles, staying cooler to the touch during normal stovetop use. However, you should still use an oven mitt when moving the pan from a hot oven.
The pan is dishwasher safe and built to withstand the rigors of frequent cleaning. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing is often recommended to maintain the polished stainless steel finish over the long term.
The straight walls provide a larger surface area and higher volume, which is ideal for braising, shallow frying, or preparing sauces that require frequent stirring without spilling over the sides.
