Know before you buy
The five-ply bonded construction alternates layers of stainless steel and aluminum to provide superior heat distribution and retention. This design eliminates hot spots and prevents the pan from warping under high heat, ensuring consistent results every time you cook.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the bonded construction and the appearance of the brushed stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
Yes, the D5 fry pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
The 18/10 stainless steel interior is ideal for searing because it is non-reactive and can withstand very high temperatures. When preheated correctly, it creates a professional-grade crust on proteins that nonstick pans simply cannot achieve.
The pan features an oversized, double-riveted stainless steel handle designed for a secure and balanced grip. While the pan has a substantial feel at 3.0 lbs, the handle shape is engineered to provide leverage and control during cooking.
Yes, this pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. It is an excellent choice for recipes that require starting on the stovetop and finishing in the oven, such as pan-seared steaks or frittatas.
