Know before you buy
The 3-ply design sandwiches an aluminum core between two layers of stainless steel. This allows the pan to heat up quickly and evenly across the entire surface, preventing hot spots that can burn your food.
Yes, the stainless steel exterior is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic glass surfaces.
The ergonomic handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop during normal cooking conditions. However, you should always use an oven mitt when removing the pan from the oven, as the handle will become hot at high temperatures.
