Know before you buy
Triple ply construction means the pan features a core of pure aluminum bonded between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design ensures heat spreads evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the casserole, preventing hot spots that can cause food to burn.
Yes, this stainless steel casserole is oven-safe. It is designed to withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for recipes that start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
The riveted Cool Grip handles are designed to stay cooler on the stovetop than standard metal handles. However, they are still made of stainless steel, so you should always use an oven mitt when handling the pot after it has been in the oven or on a burner for an extended period.
Yes, the lid is designed to fit tightly against the rim of the casserole. This seal effectively traps steam and moisture inside, which is essential for braising or slow-cooking ingredients until they are tender.
The tapered rim is specifically engineered to provide a clean, drip-free pour. It allows you to transfer liquids or sauces from the casserole into serving dishes or storage containers without spilling down the side of the pan.
Yes, the MultiClad Pro is dishwasher safe. While the dishwasher is convenient, hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge is recommended if you want to maintain the brushed stainless steel finish and prevent water spots over time.
