Know before you buy
Yes, this pan is oven-safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing you to transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing with ease.
The heavy-gauge steel construction is compatible with most standard stovetops, including gas, electric, and induction ranges.
To preserve the hand-glazed finish and the integrity of the Courtly Check pattern, we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying immediately. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents.
Yes, because the lid and the sparrow knob are constructed from metal, they will become hot during use. Always use an oven mitt or pot holder when handling the lid while cooking.
While the heavy-gauge steel underbody is durable, the hand-glazed enamel surface can chip if subjected to extreme thermal shock or heavy impact. We recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to protect the finish.
Absolutely. The pan is designed to be as functional as it is decorative, making it an ideal piece for serving stir-fries or sautés directly from the stovetop to your dining table.
