Know before you buy
Yes, the Zwilling Energy X3 Perfect Pan is fully compatible with all stovetop types, including induction, thanks to its SIGMA Clad 3-ply construction.
No, the tempered glass lid is not oven-safe. While the pan itself can withstand temperatures up to 500°F, you should remove the lid before placing the pan in the oven.
Not at all. The 18/10 stainless steel interior is non-reactive, meaning it will not impart any metallic taste or absorb flavors from previous meals.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel, hand washing with mild soap is generally recommended.
The 3-ply construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads quickly and evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can burn food.
The pan features ergonomic cool-grip handles designed to minimize heat transfer. While they stay cooler than the pan body, it is still best practice to use an oven mitt when handling the pan during extended cooking sessions.
