Know before you buy
The 316Ti stainless steel is alloyed with titanium, which provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel. It creates a non-reactive cooking surface that won't impart a metallic taste to your food, even when cooking acidic ingredients like tomato sauces.
Yes, the 439 titanium stainless steel exterior is magnetic, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops. The 5-ply construction also ensures efficient heat distribution across the entire base.
This sauteuse is oven-safe up to 800°F. This high threshold allows you to easily move the pan from the stovetop to a very hot oven for finishing dishes or broiling.
The pan is dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing is generally recommended to maintain the finish. Because of the high-quality stainless steel construction, food residue typically releases easily with a quick soak or a gentle scrub.
The 5-ply construction features layers of aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel. This design eliminates hot spots and ensures that heat travels quickly and evenly up the sides of the pan, not just across the bottom.
The sauteuse features a wider cooking surface and higher, slightly curved sides compared to a traditional skillet. This design prevents crowding, which is essential for proper browning, and provides enough depth to braise or reduce liquids without splashing.
