Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction layers stainless steel with a highly conductive copper core. This design eliminates hot spots and provides rapid, even heat distribution across the entire surface of the pan, which is essential for precise temperature control.
Yes, the stainless steel exterior is magnetic, making it fully compatible with induction cooktops as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
Absolutely. This pan is oven and broiler safe at temperatures up to 600°F, allowing you to sear on the stove and finish dishes in the oven without switching cookware.
The handle is designed to stay cooler on the stovetop thanks to its stainless steel construction and ergonomic design. However, it will become hot if used inside the oven or broiler, so always use an oven mitt.
While the pan is durable, handwashing is highly recommended to maintain the finish and performance of the bonded materials over time.
The flared edges are specifically designed to allow for drip-free pouring, making it much easier to transfer sauces, liquids, or pan drippings without making a mess on your stovetop or counter.
