Know before you buy
The 3-ply construction features a responsive aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of durable stainless steel. This design ensures fast, even heat distribution across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven cooking.
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
Absolutely. The pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it ideal for recipes that require searing on the stove followed by finishing in the oven.
The straight, high sides of this 6-quart pan are specifically designed to contain liquids and prevent splattering, making it perfect for braising, simmering sauces, or shallow frying.
To keep the stainless steel looking new, avoid using abrasive scouring pads. For stubborn stains or heat tints, a stainless steel cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend is highly effective at restoring the original shine.
The pan features double-riveted stainless steel handles designed for a secure, sturdy grip. While they are durable, they can get hot on the stovetop, so we recommend using an oven mitt or towel when handling the pan during cooking.
