Know before you buy
The D3 construction features an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. This design allows heat to conduct rapidly and evenly from the base all the way up the sides of the pan, which helps prevent hot spots and ensures consistent results.
Yes, the D3 Stainless collection is fully compatible with all cooktop surfaces, including induction, gas, and electric smooth tops.
No, this set is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the stainless steel, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water.
These pieces are oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This high heat tolerance allows you to easily transition from stovetop searing to oven finishing.
While the interior is non-reactive and durable, it is not a non-stick surface. We recommend preheating the pan properly and using a small amount of oil or butter to help food release naturally.
The stainless steel handles are double-riveted for durability and feature a design that helps dissipate heat. However, they can still get warm during extended cooking, so it is best to keep an oven mitt or towel nearby.
