Know before you buy
The 5-ply bonded construction alternates layers of stainless steel and conductive aluminum. This design eliminates hot spots and provides superior heat distribution, ensuring your food cooks evenly across the entire surface of the pan.
Yes, the D5 sauté pan is fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic glass.
Absolutely. This pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, allowing you to easily transfer your dish from the stovetop to the oven for finishing or keeping food warm.
The tall, straight sides provide a larger surface area for searing and help contain liquids, making this pan ideal for braising, deglazing, or cooking dishes with sauces while minimizing splatters.
While the pan is durable, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the brushed stainless steel finish. For stubborn stuck-on food, a stainless steel cleaner like Bar Keepers Friend works effectively.
The oversized, double-riveted handles are designed for a secure grip and to dissipate heat, but they may become warm depending on the length of time and temperature used. We recommend using an oven mitt or towel when handling the pan during extended cooking sessions.
