Know before you buy
Yes, the D3 Stainless 12-inch fry pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
Absolutely. This pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
The tri-ply design features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This construction eliminates hot spots and ensures consistent, even heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
To prevent sticking, it is best to preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Once the oil shimmers, add your food; the stainless steel surface is excellent for searing and will naturally release food once a crust has formed.
The pan weighs 4.74 pounds, which provides a sturdy feel without being overly cumbersome. The double-riveted stainless steel handle is designed for a secure grip, though it may get warm on the stovetop, so using a kitchen towel or oven mitt is recommended.
Yes, the fitted lid is made of stainless steel and is oven safe up to 600°F, just like the pan itself.
