Know before you buy
The five layers of alternating stainless steel and aluminum work together to eliminate hot spots and provide consistent heat distribution. This construction is specifically engineered to resist warping, ensuring the pan stays flat on your stovetop even under high heat.
While it is a generous size, it fits well on most standard burners. Because of its 14-inch diameter, it is best suited for larger burners to ensure the heat reaches the edges of the pan effectively.
Yes, this pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. You can safely move it from the stovetop to the broiler to finish off a steak or melt cheese on top of a dish.
To prevent sticking, it is best to preheat the pan over medium heat before adding your oil or butter. Once the oil shimmers, add your food, and allow it to sear undisturbed until it releases naturally from the surface.
Yes, the D5 stainless steel construction is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction. The magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures it will perform efficiently on an induction burner.
This pan weighs 4 pounds. While it has a substantial, professional feel, the oversized, double-riveted handles are designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip for better control while cooking.
