Know before you buy

The pan itself is oven-safe up to 900°F, but the tempered glass lid is only rated for temperatures up to 400°F. Be sure to remove the lid if you are broiling or cooking at very high heat.
Yes, the tri-ply construction with an aluminum core and stainless steel exterior makes this pan fully compatible with all cooktops, including induction, gas, and electric.
The TerraBond ceramic coating provides excellent nonstick performance. Because of the hybrid design, you get the release of a nonstick pan combined with the searing ability of stainless steel.
The pan is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. However, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge is recommended to maintain the longevity of the nonstick surface.
The tri-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel. This design ensures fast, even heat distribution across the bottom and sides of the pan, preventing hot spots.
