What customers say
This Heritage Steel Frypan earns high praise as a serious investment for home cooks, primarily due to its exceptional build quality and superior performance. Reviewers consistently note the substantial weight and robust construction, which delivers remarkable heat retention and even distribution. The 316Ti stainless steel construction is a key feature, promising durability and a nonreactive surface resistant to corrosion. It excels at high heat tasks, achieving perfect searing without warping. While the premium price presents an initial hurdle, most users agree the longevity justifies the cost. Mastering the stainless steel surface requires a learning curve for those accustomed to nonstick. The included lid is a valued addition, enhancing the pan's overall utility.
Know before you buy
This is a traditional stainless steel pan, meaning it does not have a chemical nonstick coating. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan properly over medium heat and ensuring your oil or fat is hot before adding food.
Yes, the fully clad stainless steel construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
This frypan is exceptionally heat-resistant and is safe for use in ovens and under broilers up to 800°F.
The handle is designed to stay cool during standard stovetop use. However, if you are using the pan in the oven or under a broiler, the handle will become very hot and you should always use an oven mitt.
Yes, the pan comes with a matching lid. While the pan itself is safe up to 800°F, we recommend checking the specific heat rating of the lid handle if you plan to use it in high-heat oven environments.
Fully clad construction means the stainless steel extends throughout the entire body of the pan, not just the base. This ensures consistent heat distribution across the bottom and up the sides, preventing hot spots and providing superior heat retention.
