Know before you buy
The five-ply bonded construction alternates layers of stainless steel and conductive aluminum. This design eliminates hot spots and ensures the entire surface of the pan heats evenly, which is essential for consistent searing and browning.
Yes, this pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric. The magnetic stainless steel exterior ensures it works efficiently on induction surfaces.
Yes, it is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. Because the handle is double-riveted stainless steel and there are no non-stick coatings, it can withstand high-heat finishing in the oven without damage.
To prevent sticking, preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil, then wait until the oil shimmers before adding your food. If you do experience sticking, deglazing the pan with liquid while it is still warm is the easiest way to clean it.

No, the flared edges are a functional design feature that allows for drip-free pouring of pan sauces or liquids. They also make it easier to slide a spatula under food when flipping items like eggs or pancakes.
